Although Fox News cancelled Tucker Carlson Tonight, America’s most influential pundit is still on the network payroll.
And that is the essence of the dilemma.
Tucker Carlson has lots of options to continue his punditry career when he officially obtains a release from his Fox News contract.
OANN and The Blaze have already made overtures. The struggling-for-relevance NewsNation channel as well as Newsmax are supposedly interested in his services.
Fox News is about to experience a viewership loss that will make the disaffection over the cable news channel’s premature Arizona call in Election 2020 seem like child’s play.
The corporate media has devoted a lot of bandwidth to a discussion about how Murdoch-owned news media channels have supposedly turned against former U.S. President Donald Trump, an already announced 2024 candidate for his old job.
Like her or not, an energetic, long-form interview with PBS Frontline is another signal that Megyn Kelly wants back on TV. Kelly walked away from NBC News and her failed Today show slot with multi-generational wealth, so is in a position to create her own production company rather than try to get a gig with an existing network.
There must have been a lot of curiosity seekers for Megyn Kelly’s first television interview since parting ways with NBC News in January 2019. As a result, her appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight generated huge ratings. About four million viewers watched the Fox News Channel interview conducted by Carlson with the former NBC Today show host, and prior to that, the anchor of FNC’s The Kelly File.
Andrea Tantaros, the Tied Up in Knots author, is still trying to tie the Fox News Channel up in court. With her huge fan-base popularity at the time, Tantaros would have been the logical choice to replace Kimberly Guilfoyle as co-host of The Five after KG left the show to work on the Trump reelection campaign. Unfortunately, Fox News suspended Tantaros with pay in late April 2016 and parted ways with her in October of that year. Except for a Good Morning America appearance, the ex-Outnumbered panelist has essentially been absent from television ever since.
If you’re one of the dwindling number of CNN prime-time viewers, or you’ve been stuck watching the force-fed network at an airport, you’ve probably noticed that anchor Chris Cuomo appears to be in the late stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano went from a pro-Trump libertarian to a vocal Never Trumper who has criticized the president for “immoral” and “condemnable” conduct as portrayed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. With the ascendancy of the Murdoch bros, Fox News is moving liberal outside of prime time. Maybe the ex-judge changed his tune for a paycheck; in addition to several anchors on Fox, lots of Trump bashers who regularly appear CNN and MSNBC have done the same. It also wouldn’t be the first time since Donald Trump won the White House that a personal vendetta masquerades as news analysis, if not fake news.
Even occasionally surfing over to The Five on the Fox News Channel at 5 p.m. Eastern time confirms that the political ensemble program is probably no longer worth watching. Here’s why.
