I know it is supposed to taste better when cold, but this happened so fast it is only lukewarm.
Good for TN.

Of all the people to come up with this idea...
Ann Coulter "solves" the abortion debate by calling for a ban "for registered Republicans only".

I say, yeah.

It's sweet and salty at the same time.

The NY Times is reporting that Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News. (This could have gone into any one of about 10 threads. LOL!)

If true, where is Carlson going?

Narnia.
Never, never land.
Atlantis.
Macondo.
Shangri-la.

Somewhere where truth is unknown.
Barnum & Baileys...?

I doubt he needs to go anywhere. Speaking fees are quite lucrative. And we all know no one enjoys the sound of his voice more than he does.

Dry may have this one.

He wouldn't go to those low rent organizations because at least one of them has been dropped from my basic cable and I think other carriers have done the same.

Some interesting commentary

The worlds of #propaganda & #disinformation are being shaken, along w/actual #news & #journalism.

While the big story seems to be the "departure" of #Fox anti-#truth net's #TuckerCarlson, other shocks are competing. For starts, #CNN Don Lemon was sacked.



Andrea Mitchell is being roundly blasted for leading w/"news" of "Mr. Biden" seeming diminished, ignoring the Fox bombs.

Tough day in the mainstream #media world! And a huge challenge for the future of #truth

BREAKING: Fox News pushes out Tucker Carlson.

Wow. This is MAJOR damage control.

Why? Because Fox is about to get wrecked with shareholder lawsuits claiming that they didn't do enough to stop the Dominion defamation.

They are trying to do now what they failed to do in 2020.

Can somebody sue you because you lost a lawsuit? Isn't that a bit bizarre?

Ham sandwiches get indicted every day!

That said corporate law is a bizarro world where apparently this can happen. "You caused me to lose money! The value of my portfolio went down! I WILL SUE YOU!"

$650 million (more or less, depending on news source). A good start.

Yes, not even a little bit bizarre in this context. Less about "losing" a lawsuit and more about having the lawsuit brought to begin with.
