Tucker’s Termination

As I was watching the news last night, I was struck by the incredible timing of Tucker Carlson’s termination from Fox News. Think about this: Tucker Carlson is taken off the air just as Joe Biden announces he’s running again. That’s a huge gift to the left! 

There are lots of rumors about what happened and why. Only a handful of people really know the truth. Sean Hannity and Mark Levin were totally blindsided by the news.

But I do know this: Tucker Carlson had become one of the most effective media combatants in the war for America. He was bucking the GOP establishment and the Murdochs in a variety of ways. 

Not the least of which was his regular questioning of why we’re in a proxy war with Russia and why GOP leaders are urging a doddering president to be even more aggressive in Ukraine when the right’s whole narrative is that he’s clueless and incompetent. 

Why would anyone be cheerleading for Joe Biden to lead us into World War III? Seems like a legitimate question to me.

Unlike most so-called “journalists,” Carlson constantly went outside the box. He brought Elon Musk on his show to talk about how Big Government was working with Big Tech to censor and silence the American people.

Just the other day, Carlson had Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on for a major interview. Among other things, they discussed Big Pharma’s role in partnering with the Biden Administration to force us to take, at the time, experimental and unproven vaccines and then silencing anyone who had questions about the side effects. 

Glenn Greenwald, a staunch liberal, was a frequent guest. More recently, Greenwald has raised serious questions about how federal security agencies are using the powers we gave them to protect us from our enemies against us, the American people. 

And while many Republicans were running for the tall grass over January 6th, Carlson was virtually alone among leading media figures to point out the gross hypocrisy between the riots of 2020, which lasted for weeks and devastated whole communities, and a protest that distributed the Swamp for a few hours. 

None of this likely made the Murdochs or their corporate GOP board members, like Paul Ryan, very happy. 

I think Fox has made a huge mistake by attempting to silence Carlson’s voice. Many conservatives are canceling their Fox Nation subscriptions. Given his talent and values, Tucker won’t be without a platform for very long. In fact, offers are already in the works.
