    1. Indeed. Tucker left a trail of evidence that gave Dominion what it needed in order to prove the “actual malice standard.” Which is damn near impossible to do.

    2. it is going to damage the brand if that text was known during trial – it will outrage people

    1. me too.. he could be darker and worst than that text..he was the guy in shining OR the force that took over in the exorcist.

    1. @ronald wade @common sense You mean Asian invaders not “native Indians” or “Native America tribes” Native means originally from and no tribal persons ancestors were originally from America. They all came from Asia. So you can just say tribal people.

    1. People are so Harsh on Tucker. A man in the pub told me that he knows for a fact Tucker cried when Bambi’s mom died. Obviously he was upset the hunters did not get Bambi too.

    1. 🤷. I was never really exposed to Tucker in the past. But the more I see of him. The more I’m convinced that he’s anti – establishment. So 👍

  1. Everyone has had dark thoughts but we dare not voice them for fear of retribution. Obviously, Fox nurtured an environment in which Tucker felt safe to speak those thoughts

    1. @Detective Columbo👈🤡 he didn’t Lie …and he’ll be back on another station soon .. You must HOWL a bit LOUDER next time 😂😂🤡

    2. @Kenyatta Anderson tucker’s videos that expose the j6 BIG LIE hurts a lot ,does it ?

  2. He said a lot of stuff more offensive than that over the years.
    Seems to me Fox is floating multiple reasons so they don’t have to reveal their real reason

  3. That text was so pivotal in Fox News’ decision to let Tucker go that it only took them 2 years to pull the plug.

    (That is sarcasm)

    1. @Howard Moon yes, he did whether you like it or not.
      He was not afraid to say things that the average American is thinking.

    2. @AT 1984 So, you’re NOT a reasonable person. Noted. With that stunning revelation, I think I’m all done here.

    3. It’s not because he said it. It’s because he was CAUGHT. Big difference. The discovery of that text probably added another $20 mil to the settlement demands, and put Smartmatic on a huge position of strength in THEIR upcoming suit.

    1. @Jewpremacist Good job! Now You managed to get “Detective Columbo” on Your trail!! Don’t You realize yet that he always gets his man?? Lmfao

  4. the only thing that surprises me is all this seeing the light of day. fox really clowned themselves

    1. Yes. I was never really exposed to Tucker in the past. But the more I see of him. The more I’m convinced that he’s anti – establishment. So 👍

  5. I’ll stock up on more popcorn as this is setting up for quite an interesting end, It baffles me how these execs at Fox are behaving as if they’ve just woken up from a long sleep and just realized how awful this man was. They knew and condoned his dirty behaviors.

    1. 🤷. I was never really exposed to Tucker in the past. But the more I see of him. The more I’m convinced that he’s anti – establishment. So 👍

  6. He was “fired” for one reason: They were caught and lost money. Otherwise, they couldn’t have cared less.

    1. 700 million is peanuts for Fox that’s why they settled. You do know own these mainstream news channels right? It’s Disney, Time Warner and 21st Century Fox.

  7. There is a learning moment here. Don’t text or e-mail anything that you wouldn’t shout from the tallest building as my Mother used to say. Of course, she said shout, but it still holds true. Maybe more so.

    1. Always post online like you are testifying under oath, and always dance like nobody is watching

    2. Actually, very few people would hear anything shouted from the tallest building. Better advice: in anywhere but the most intimate and trusted conversations, don’t express anything you wouldn’t want covered on all the news media and followed by the Twitterverse and known by the people you see every day.

    1. err … wasn’t tucker the guy who *didnt* support that story? or does that just not matter to you

  8. The only part of the text that I find surprising is that Carlson had just started to realize at that point that he was so extreme. I’d always assumed that he was aware of how toxic he was and had embraced it. Hopefully Tucker gets the therapy he so obviously needs.

    1. Therapy? Hmmmm..He was actually looking for attention, even sympathy, in the tone of his statement and that alone is just disgusting.

  9. Let me get this straight. An old Australian man was so disgusted with a bad word, that he sacked his highest-rating news entertainer. Rupert and Dominion have both said that Tucker’s sacking was not part of the settlement. What is not to believe.

    1. Yeah there’s no way this was it, whatever it was had to be so horrific, fox suddenly didn’t give a crap about millions and millions of dollars and viewers! For them to drop him that fast after years of knowing how he thinks makes me think Tucker has done something really bad and probably illegal 😂

    2. Carlson’s views on Putin and Russia are not representative of the majority of Americans.

    1. 🤷. I was never really exposed to Tucker in the past. But the more I see of him. The more I’m convinced that he’s anti – establishment. So 👍

    2. What’s class got to do with it? He revealed his honest thoughts, & didn’t hold back!

  10. That last bit with Ben Smith was nice to see. As humans, we run more on autopilot than we’d like to admit and social media companies like Facebook can definitely use that to their benefit (and society’s detriment).
