Tucker Carlson will never be back on Fox News. (my opinion)

[Stuart G]

Here is why. There must be some semblance of honesty there. To say, "White supremacy is a hoax" is such a boldface lie, that even Fox News will not accept it. While most of us never believed that there was a line at Fox news, I guess there is. A boldface lie that everyone knows is a lie is that line. And with that lie, Tucker is gone. I do not think he will return to Fox News. The network puts liars on vacation, gives them a lot of money, and then sort of fires them. That is what I believe will happen. To be honest and clear.....I don't know nothing, Tucker could be back after the vacation is over, but I do not think so

[hlthe2b]

1. I missed something. Have they suspended him?

[Stuart G]

16. Tucker Carlson is on vaction for a statement, "White supremacy is a hoax"

No it was not called a "suspension" although it might be. Tucker is on "vacation." I believe they will not let him back, but that is their decision, it is not mine. We will see.

[brucefan]

2. Nah

He’ll get a big raise

[murielm99]

3. Where is he?

On "vacation?"

[underpants]

7. Yes. He apparently announced it at the end of his show last night

Says he is going fishing with his son.

[PA Democrat]

13. Hope it's permanent.

[malaise]

4. Then how do they show Don the Con?

Fuck Fux

[FakeNoose]

5. What actually happens is, the sponsors fire them

Once the big ticket sponsors lose their love for the Faux Snooze anchor/host - like they abandoned Bill O'Reilly - the show gets cancelled. Just like that. Faux won't carry any anchor/host that they can't sell ads for.

But you're right about the "vacation" - that happens first, while they negotiate the cancellation buyout. It couldn't happen to a nicer fellow than Tucker Carlson.

26. O' Reilly

Went on vacation,too.

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. Being fired while on vacation is an old radio tradition

later applied to tv.
being told you are going on vacation in the middle of the week is not that common of a pattern, tho.

However, Fox just lost 3 sponsors in the last 24 hours:

Long John Silver’s
Nestle
and something called Babbel

all good signs he may not be back.

He and trump talk daily, more than once. If faux needs to dump him for money, trump will anounce carlson is working on his 2020 campaign and pay him huge bucks from the PAC donations. He has parked a lot of his former hires over at the campaign.
I'm hoping that without fox, Carlson may dim in value to trump.

6. I hope you're right. nt

[Yonnie3]

8. CNN says he is on a "Vacation"

Link to tweet

[rurallib]

11. doesn't everybody start their vacations in the middle of the week?

[Yonnie3]

17. Good point

We will eventually know if this is a permanent vacation for this asshole.

Perhaps he will need more family time.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. In media, vacations, esp. in middle of week, means you are fired.

Happily, Rick Wilson's adage proves correct again...."everything trump touches, dies. "

[gratuitous]

25. As one does . . .

That occurred to me, as well. Not being a regular (or even accidental) viewer of Carlson's show, I presume that like most scheduled vacations, he mentioned that he would be absent from the show for a few days leading up to his departure? No? I feel like I can draw a conclusion at this point.

[True Blue American]

27. My exact thought.

[cwydro]

9. He hasn't been fired yet, has he?

Unless I’ve missed something.

[underpants]

10. Geez who are they going to get?

Tucker is C league at best. I guess anyone on at that time - I’d bet a lot of their viewers still think it’s O’Reilly - and read the mouth words

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. LOL. No, saying that won't harm him at all with Fox. It doesn't explicitly insult a group

and obvious lies have never been a problem for Fox News in themselves. He's just aligning himself more closely with Trump.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. I wouldn't bet any money on that. But it would be hilarious if he announced he was going

fishing with Bill O'Loofah.

[underpants]

21. That was so funny I almost falafel my chair

Oh that joke is soooo old.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

31. Well played! nt

[True Blue American]

39. You could have

Cofeve out of it!

[underpants]

40. Yeah

but I was cocked and loaded

[True Blue American]

41. Well, fafalah then!:)

[malaise]

15. Great news

18. Didn't Trump intervene with Fox after they suspended Jeanine Pirro?

I remember he had a twitter tantrum over her suspension. Can't believe he won't do the same for his good friend and fellow racist Tucker Carlson.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. A lot has changed since Pirro went off the rails and Trump got her job back...

and I can't imagine even the Tangerine Turdlapper would take the little bugger's side this time.

But, who knows...

[uponit7771]

19. They'll have him come back after being a white supremacist is tolerable with M$M again .. in 2 weeks

[dustyscamp]

22. He'll come back just like what happened with Janine Pirro

[OliverQ]

23. Of course he'll be back. They always put these people on "vacation"

when they do something really controversial. The backlash dies down in a week or 2 and they're back on the air.

Laura Ingraham has said numerous extremely offensive things and even gave the Nazi salute at CPAC last year. Advertisers have abandoned her multiple times. She's still on Fox.

[robbedvoter]

24. Wasn't Heil 🍊 Ingram also on vacation?

No more sponsors, but she's back... I wish you were right...

[PA Democrat]

29. Yes, she went "on vacation" right after she attacked David Hogg.

I think Bill O'Reilly's "vacation" is the only one that became permanent.

[RhodeIslandOne]

47. Yup

Fucker will return followed by the Manatee and KKKlan Mom.

[Vogon_Glory]

28. From your keyboard to God's computer screen but

I fear our country won’t be that lucky.

He’ll be back.

[Gothmog]

30. Does tucker still have any advertisers? If so, renew boycott

[Raine]

34. He's supposed to return August 19

he's on a fishing trip with his son.

[Demovictory9]

35. his show has lost lots of advertisers

[ConnorMarc]

37. Link?

Long John Silver’s Drops Fox News After Tucker Carlson Said White Supremacy’s A ‘Hoax’
The brand is one of more than 20 that have stopped advertising during the Fox News host’s show because of his offensive rhetoric.

[ConnorMarc]

46. Thank you.

I surely wish that he'd not be returning.

I won't hold my breath though.

[brettdale]

36. Tucker will never be fired.

He does what they want him to do, and hes just going to get worse.

[True Blue American]

42. Right now Trump

Is in such deep water his only thought is his own survival.

With banks ignoring his law suits, turning over bank records, Epstein’s arrest, the many investigations in New York that Barr can not stop. Not all Judges are crooked, some have respect for the law. They are not all going down for Trump. They already know he is a user ,loyal to no one.

And those pictures of Melania laughing at his ignorant comparisons of Trump. Holding that orphan baby with broken fingers tells me she really doesn’t care!

[ConnorMarc]

48. Basically

And time has shown your post to be right.

[Cosmocat]

43. Small chance, but there are COUNTLESS other

craven scumbags like him dying for the opportunity to get the top spot making millions poisoning the minds of "the base."

They didn't miss a beat going from O'Reilly to him, they will find an equally immoral POS to replace him w/in 10 seconds.

[Mc Mike]

44. There's room at OANN, tRump TV, Sinclair, the daily shoah.

Sputnik.

[pwb]

45. Maybe he is going to a White Supremacist rally on vacation.

With the kids. No sarcasm.
