Jameson Lopp on Nostr: Why is Tucker Carlson leaving Fox? After all, they make each other a lot of money. ...

Why is Tucker Carlson leaving Fox? After all, they make each other a lot of money. Could it be that Tucker wants to strike out on his own? Maybe, but he would be leaving a large chunk of his audience behind, maybe even most of it.

Could it be that Fox asked him to leave? It seems strange that they would. After all, Tucker is their highest-rated host, again making Fox a lot of money. So, if they did fire him, it would have to be for something serious.

Very serious. Like, 'eating babies' serious. Not that I'm saying Tucker is *known* for eating babies... no one has accused him of that, as far as I know. But he makes Fox a lot of money, enough that those suitably focused on the bottom line might overlook the occasional baby... as long as it wasn't an *important* baby. Maybe poor babies would be okay, but definitely not ones with rich parents.

Of course, nobody is saying Tucker Carlson is a baby-eating cannibal. In fact, we don't even know that he was fired. Not for certain, in any case. But it does make you wonder... how many babies would Tucker Carlson have to eat before Fox News fired him? Neither Fox nor Tucker have said, so we may never know...
