Quote of the day: A positive outlook is what leads to positive results.

I will not cancel or choose not to watch FOX until I know what went into play with the departure.
I still have ADHD and all shows have me at most for 20 minutes at best. Tucker did get 20 minutes of my time the others got about 10 minutes of my time. Nothing will change for me regarding the others unless I hear some bad news about how/why FOX made this decision.
Megyn Kelly did a segment where Tucker is still employed by FOX and he was told not to do his show, he is still being paid, he was eliminated from the company e mail, his producer fired and FOX is invoking his no competition clause WHILE he is employed at FOX. Now she did add they are negotiating his buyout.  I do not believe there is a long time remaining on his contract.
Fox News has been moving LEFTWARD for years. Tucker was the only one I made a point to record on my DVR. I haven't watched a second of their network (or any other) since Tucker left.

It probably would come as a surprise to Hannity that Tucker was what drove ratings.  But people can tell the difference between 100% bias and a guy actually trying to get to the truth on matters.  Tucker drove viewership because he went at the news of the day getting his viewers to actually think and not just march to the party line.  No one is claiming heâ€s perfect, but thereâ€s a reason people were drawn to him. Â
Yes, privately he loathed Trump, but he also acknowledged that Trump got him to view things from a perspective outside of his DC centric background. Â Why are we still bankrolling NATO to the degree we have been? Â Etc...

Yep. Â He said his DC friends all freaked out about Trump, but then he started thinking about what Trump was actually saying. Â He said it was a turning point for him

I think the big question regarding Fox is in regards to the establishment, not leaning left. Â
They have occasional token lefty viewpoints put forth, but I donâ€t think Fox will ever be mistaken for leaning left.  Unless of course they make that move going forward.  Then watch their viewership crater.  I mean why would people watch Fox when they can get that anywhere else?

I like Carlson and his epiphany is telling.  Too damn bad he's gone.
