Love the idea but the ears are not the same, but what's weird is the SS guy seems to wear clothes that are too big for him, and shoulders don't match. The SS guy does look like an alien! kek
who said Lemon was a superstar? A stupidstar yes, but not super anything
PN>>18745282, JUST IN - Tucker Carlson to leave Fox News. #Resignations
Look what FOX did with Tucker's last video
I tried to play it on the board
People like her are gonna be REALLY REALLY PISSED when they find out where Tucker is going!
I don't know if FOX blocked Tucker's last show on the FOX channel, but they blocked it on this guy's channel.
Theory (or dream): Tucker left FOX because they wouldn't let him show anymore footage of J6, the only way he could show more, is go somewhere else, or build his own. McCarthy gave him permission to continue going through the videos even if somewhere else. While he had his team, they went through a lot more of the videos and he had a solid plan on how to present it, or maybe they filmed some shows elsewhere?
Bonchie is right, this is way past weird at this point! If Kinzinger was smart he would shut his mouth and walk away, but he's never been smart.
When Tucker's reveals of J6 comes out, Kinzinger etc. al will be outed for the treasonous assholes they are.

Whatever Murdoch's were promised, it was much more than the billions in the FOX network, or maybe it wasn't something promised but threatened. They all tow the line!
Hannity sounds like an insane war monger like for reals:
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald·2h
From 8pm to 9pm on Fox, there was extreme, even fundamental, disagreements between Tucker and Hannity on those key issues- the kind of internal debate unthinkable on any other network: in lockstep.
I'd wager the new 8pm host will be far more aligned with Hannity: standard GOP.

Tucker Carlson Leaves Fox News in Shakeup After Settlement
Gerry Smith
Mon, April 24, 2023 at 2:50 PM EDT
(Bloomberg) – Fox News is parting ways with Tucker Carlson, its most popular prime-time host who was also the source of repeated controversies over his statements on everything from election fairness to LGBTQ rights.
His exit, coming a week after network parent Fox Corp. agreed to pay $787 million to settle a defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems Inc., leaves a big hole in the schedule of the No. 1 cable network.
“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the company said Monday in a statement.
His last show was on Friday, the network said. Fox will employ a series of rotating hosts in Carlson’s 8 p.m. time slot until a successor is named.
Before the settlement, Carlson, 53, was among a handful Fox figures, including company Chairman Rupert Murdoch, scheduled to testify in the case. The others were Murdoch’s son, Lachlan, who is Fox Corp.’s chief executive officer; Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and network host Maria Bartiromo.
Shares of Fox, which is controlled by the Murdoch family, fell as much as 5.4% to $31.80 in New York, the steepest loss since October.
In recent years, Carlson, a former editor at the Weekly Standard and co-host on CNN, has transformed into the biggest star at Fox News. CNN reported in 2020 that he earned about $10 million a year.
Excluding sports, Tucker Carlson Tonight is the top rated prime-time show on cable TV, according to the most recent Nielsen ratings, with a nightly audience that at times exceeded 3.7 million viewers.
But Carlson’s controversial comments on air often caused problems for Fox’s business. Over the years, he has seen several advertisers boycott the show over his commentary. In 2018, for instance, marketers pulled their ads after he said immigrants make the US “poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
Carlson is the latest big-name personality to leave the network. In 2017, former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly left amid allegations of misconduct. Two years later, longtime Fox News anchor Shepard Smith departed. Last week, Dan Bongino, host of the weekend Fox News show Unfiltered, left after saying he couldn’t come to terms over a contract extension with the network.
Andrew Tyndall, who writes a newsletter about broadcast news, saidhe didn’t think Carlson’s departure would hurt Fox News much because its publicity department would make a star out of whoever replaces him in his time slot. (See that’s how stupid these people are O’Reilly and Kelly were not Tucker and Smith was never liked by the majority of anyone)
Fox News “has survived and thrived as it lost (or got rid of) Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly and Shep Smith,” Tyndall said. “Its viewers watch the channel, not the personality.” (This guy is utterly stupid!!! NO it's not the channel, what an idiot)

This "expert" Andrew Tyndallis not at all a media specialists, he's a gossip columnist, so of course Bloomberg quotes him

cool, he's taking the talent with him.
excellent thanks
Power Over Profits: Here’s the Dirty Little Secret Behind the Media’s True Business Model
October 18, 20201/3
Tucker Carlson’s prime-time Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, has shattered record after record to become the highest rated cable news program in television history. On any given night, Carlson’s must-watch program draws nearly 5 million Americans to the television set — a truly astonishing number we may never see again.
Tucker Carlson's TV ratings this week are insane.
Viewers by day:
Monday: 4.747 million
Tuesday: 4.727 million
Wednesday: 4.861 million (!!!)
Thursday: 4.74 million
We might never see level of domination like this on TV ever again. Tucker is unstoppable.

According to an analysis by iSpot.tv, Tucker Carlson accounts for 16 percent all ad revenue at Fox News. And during the six-month period of February through July of this year alone, Tucker generated $37.2 million for Fox News and smashed the competition.
Looking at the entire six-month period, SMI says “Tucker Carlson Tonight” pulled in $37.2 million as the best Fox News prime-time performer. Right behind was “The Ingraham Angle” ($36.6 million) and “Hannity” ($36.2 million). MSNBC’s top show was “The Rachel Maddow Show” — $20.8 million, while CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” and “Anderson Cooper 360” tied with $19.1 million.

The historic popularity and profitability of Tucker’s show raises a simple, yet important question:why have none of the major networks, including Fox, attempted to copy his success?
Wouldn’t the fabled “marketplace of ideas” dictate a certain convergence toward the topics and styles that draw the biggest audiences?
Perhaps the ad boycotts aimed at Tucker have scared off would-be copycats. But this simply raises the question of why companies would leave money on the table by refusing to advertise on television’s most popular cable news show. Something is off here, and it suggests that the media industry does not work according to a simple profit motive.
What if the true goal of a media conglomerate is not to produce a reliable and entertaining news service tailored to its audience, but rather to influence that audience on behalf of third parties? What if the purpose of a media company is not to be profitable for its own sake, but influential for the sake of others?
Business models aren’t always what they present themselves to be. Movie theaters make money not from ticket sales, but from concession stands. Airlines likewise need to sell tickets, but they make more profit from frequent flier rewards programs. Supermarkets are increasingly big data collectors for insurance companies.
Users of Google, YouTube, and other internet/social media services might think of themselves as “customers,” but they are actually the product, as those services collect detailed data on users and sell it to third parties for advertising purposes.
The Washington Post provides a clear example of a media company’s true business model.
Readers might recall that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos purchased the Post for $250 million. The paper is of course notoriously biased against Trump, even by the standards of today’s mainstream media. This may be good for business and it may not be — but ultimately this is not what matters. What matters is that the Post is directly or indirectly profitable to its owner, Jeff Bezos. If it lost money, but influenced the public or other important constituencies in a manner that resulted in greater success for Amazon (a company 10,000 times its size), it would still be a worthwhile investment for Bezos.
We can generalize this principle by noting that the parent-subsidiary model is very common in business. Any given subsidiary does not have to be profitable in its own right so long as it benefits the parent company. In the case of The Washington Post, there is a clear “parent company” in the person of Jeff Bezos. But even absent the existence of a formal parent company, one can think of the American power structure itself as the true “parent company” of any sufficiently large and powerful media conglomerate.
Although in some cases this is a metaphor, it captures a very important feature of how the media and our country function. For a media empire operating at the highest levels, the influence it wields on the public’s mind is far more valuable to the ruling power structure than any self-contained profit that could be generated by optimizing their news product to suit the taste of the audience.
