It is hard to guess if he is totally done now, or will turn up on some other right wing network. I expect his texts make him totally toxic:
"We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait," he texted to an unidentified person in early 2021. "I hate him passionately.... I can't handle much more of this."
"It [Carlson's recent U.S. Capitol rhetoric] traffics in all manner of innuendo and conspiracy theories that I think legitimately could lead to violence. That for me, and for Steve, was the last straw." - Jonah Goldberg as reported on NPR.org.
I suspect there's a fair chance he's headed to Rumble where he could make something on ad revenue, plus he could do his whole show with less than a dozen people. Newsmax would take him but they don't have nearly enough the money. Otherwise he's untouchable by everyone else. As Tucker's show was by far cable's most wanted show I see a lot of Fox News viewers leaving for Newsmax, Rumble or any place else. Fox News has no one that can [thankfully] replace him.
Fox News still has to deal with a lawsuit from Smartmatic and they've said they won't settle for less than what Dominion got which was $787.5 million.
As carriage fees come up for renegotiation I don't see Fox News getting anything close to their [rumored] average rate of $20 per home, which makes up the vast bulk of their profits.
Call it a death by a few massive cuts, Fox News might be gone by the end of the year. Even the name is pretty much worthless.
Now that there star player is sidelined, the other Fox personalities are really gonna have to step up their lying game. If they expect to make the playoffs. Lol
Monetarily agreed but he's a beast that demands attention, the lime-light, and without that he, in his and everyone else's mind, is nothing. Death of the ego for one so high by his own petard I would assume would be very painful.
I doubt we will see either back on the air. Lemon blew it with a lengthy history of misogyny and Carlson is now on record as a Trump-hating right winger.
@Doug Senko this thought occurred to me today. I don't think this is possible, but... One of the main drivers of conservative movement seems to be building a safe space for businesses to thrive in a free-market limited government regulated space. Anything that seems to want to constrain business must be attacked. Global warming? Nah, must be bunk, lest we curtail the fossil fuel industry.
Could the rhetoric hit a tipping point? Wherein the trajectory of the rhetoric leads not to more free market and good-for-business landscape but elsewhere? To a dystopian get-shot-by-strangers hyped up on fear-of-others? Might the Star Chamber members have met and said enough is enough. Gavel drops and away goes Carlson and Lemon.
If a political strategy of attack trans-folks, M&Ms and Mickey Mouse is understood to be an ultimate fail -- enough to win a primary but not a general. Might the GOP Star Chamber members say enough is enough! Stop the culture war nonsense before we disappear into whining hell-hole of nothingness?
