If nobody wants to subsidize the cost of his show with advertisements, Fox News can just pay for it themselves, right? Or they could crowdfund every episode?

Or they could just take him off the air, but then they’d be censoring him and I’m sure they wouldn’t want to do that.

Do they want the government to order advertisers to support low-rated shows filled with that patented Fox mixture of racism, hatred, and self-martyrdom?

Tucker and his family are safe and sound. Harassing them is deplorable. However, I will fully participate in any boycott of his wretched TV show - will let advertisers know their products are off limits if they support his deplorable show.

All these folks understand is money

The less they get of it for Tucker, the sooner Tucker heads down the road.

As Jon Stewart would attest, Tucker wasn't a loss for CNN and he won't be for FOX

negatives. Don't waste time even thinking about anything Murdoch and only watch our local Fake noise affiliate when my football team is playing.

And if you receive you TV feed via Cable of Sat,every click is counted.

i guess they're trying to say they'd be ok with what the left was doing if their motives were something other than "deeply political".




and hey, you're all hypocrites unless you also boycott all those left-wing propaganda networks, too!

Do these dumb fuckers NOT UNDERSTAND how the free market works??

You'd think they'd get it, as much as Tucker (and everyone else over there) worships at the altar of Rand.
