The editor was working on another column when he was informed that Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News. The purported reason for Carlson's beheading is related to the Dominion lawsuit. This is absurd because Carlson did not discuss election fraud and ridiculed those who did, both on air and in text messages. Let's leave that on the back burner for now.
We all have strong opinions about Fox News. Generally, I am emotionally detached from matters related to news networks and jumbo corporations, but I will concede that I genuinely despise Fox News. To say they are deceptive is to understate the compounding intricacies of their deception. It is like saying Bernie Madoff made an accounting error.
"Even Fox News..." Don't you love that phrase? As if somehow these privileged millionaires spoke for you or me. "Even Fox News says..." As if the entirety of narrative perspective has been covered by the MSM chorus and their wresting villain foe, Fox News. "Even Fox News admits..." as in they somehow speak for you and me. "Even Fox News..." as if Fox News has any relevance whatsoever.
I don't want to turn this into "Roger and Me" so I will only go back a few years with Fox. Circa 2018 I started listening to YouTubers like Katie G. and X22 Report. YouTube did not immediately find these pundits threatening and they would follow up with videos of people whose audiences watched the same video I was watching. So I was exposed to Amazing Polly, Deception Bytes, Jordan Sather, Dustin Nemos, Praying Medic and many other interesting vidcasters. It should be noted that everyone that I found interesting would later be purged from YouTube in the months preceding the 2020 presidential election.
I don't remember if it was 2018 or 2019 but at some point YouTube followed up EVERY interesting video with a Fox News video. I already held a dim view of Fox News, but I thought of them as more inept than corrupt, more white bread than cyanide. I did not think of them as Google coconspirators, but there they were, directing this lost lamb back to the flock.
Election integrity is the great divide. Election integrity eclipses every other issue. It will forever divide us from MSM, the Dems, the deep state, the weaponized bureaucracy, Never-Trumpers, Con Inc., Rona McDaniel, Tim Poole, Reason.com, and to be multiply-redundant, Fox News. The censors have eased up on COVID news, but they still work diligently to quash information regarding our rigged elections. So I am dismissive of Fox News.
Having said that, I do see Fox News from time to time. Part of that is because YouTube still follows vaguely political or even apolitical videos with Fox News vids. Almost always, that video features Tucker Carlson. Also, I see Tucker videos embedded into other stories at a myriad of sites. Never Hannity or Ingraham or Judge Jeanine, or even the sometimes-witty Greg Gutfeld. Tucker and Tucker only.
I have to admit that Carlson sometimes hits it out of the park. He did a good job on the J6 footage, but he left a lot undone. He challenged the multiple COVID narratives, long after real journalists but far ahead of his talking head peers. Ukraine. The Southern border. Alvin Bragg. Merrick Garland. Nothing was off-limits to Tucker. NOTHING EXCEPT ELECTION FRAUD!
Fox News is firing the only reason people watch their decrepit network. Coupled with the bizarre Dominion settlement, we are witnessing the controlled demolition of Fox News. Fox New was destroyed from within. By the way, if the Federales have not launched an investigation to determine if Fox News management holds a financial stake in Staple Street Capital, we are witnessing dereliction of duty.
Whither Carlson? Carlson is bigger than Fox News but we said the same thing about Glenn Beck years ago and his solo career has not gone so well. No one is scouring the net to see where Don Lemon lands, but Tucker is another matter. If Carlson is willing to follow up on J6 and open Pandora's Election Fraud Box, a titan will rule the news media. It's fun to dream, isn't it?
