As Fox News slides into its new CNN lite format, some conservatives are in denial. But Tucker, they cry. They will boycott the rest of Fox -- except for Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
That's like giving up alcohol for Lent except for beer, wine, and bourbon.
Its prime time shows are its biggest moneymakers. Giving up Cavuto or some other minor show means nothing to Fox. The big money is in prime time. (Snip)
And Carlson is laughing at his conservative viewers now. Last night, Carlson crapped on Sidney Powell for not going on his show and proving the president's case.
Who does he think he is? Chief Justice Tucker Carlson?

Tucker is a blowhard. Yes, often times he is correct, but his faux outrage is tiresome and his logic sometimes questionable.

Golly gee, Tucker, I thought I knew you.
Prove what a tough guy you are and put your bowtie back on and show your FOX overlords how you can't be bought off or pushed around.
(Insert fake Tucker laugh here)

People should stop trying to hold Fox News people to some impossible standard of moral superiority. In the end Fox News is a business and they have made decisions about the audience they want to attract. They are courting the MOR moderate Republicans that want to collaborate with globalist powers like the CCP and WEF and are polite and dignified like John McCain. Thomas Paine called these types "summer soldiers and sunshine patriots". Do not put your faith in such people. They will always disappoint you in the end.
Trust in the truth of your own experience. The truth is that this election is a well orchestrated and well publicized color revolution to exploit the pandemic and change American history. Once you understand this truth you will find the inner courage that is the foundation of all other virtues. What Fox does is irrelevant at this point. What the courts determine is the real test of our Founder's experiment in self government.

Cucker Tarlson jumped off the Trump Train. Fox News led the fraud coup by calling Arizona as the signal for the armies of the Prince of Darkness. Trump is the hill to die on, and we are taking names. So long Tucker, Chris Wallace, Cavuto, Laura, Perinola and colleagues.
This election was stolen and I will not forgive Fox. We subscribed to OANN very easily and cheaply typing KloudTV. Newsmax we can still download free, do not know why they haven’t asked payment yet. Fox I’d dead to me.

Tucker is/was the last remaining show that is/was of interest to me. He is on thin ice, He is losing credibility and audience with actions such as described above. OBTW, Ms Sidney is more credible than FOX (to include TC) on this issue.
I recommend he investigate his own company WRT why FOX called AZ so very early, Or compare and contrast the FOX organization of years ago to what it now is.
IIRC, TC and his family was DOXXED and threatened some time ago. I would have thought he would have some empathy for those who submitted signed affidavits, those who are representing PDJT, being DOXXED and their safety threatened.
Tucker: recommend prove your street creds by actively and sincerely investigating your own FOX organization, hold them to the same standard you hold others. See if you are personally OK with FOX with their new leftist/bias business model or, if the stink is too odious, maybe convey to your remaining audience that its time for you and them to move on.
IMO, TC is on the very edge of losing more that his reputation.

What if Sydney Powell was just a sideshow when the real chance of winning all 6 swing states was illegal use of absentee ballots? You have to apply for an absentee ballot, but many were counted that were not applied for. What if the last 2 weeks were meant to distract the opposition while they prepared for the real court battle coming up? And what if Tucker knows this now and is only trying to get on top of it before it breaks?
Guiliani: “more than double the margin of votes required to flip the election in six swing states are provably illegal, meaning Trump will have won them when only legal votes are counted."

Tacky and silly. It's not analysis or even opinion, it's the sort of rhetoric that tickles 8th grade males.

And I would rather Sidney Powell proved it to the 6 Old Men and 3 Old Ladies there.
ACB is not old & is better looking than those two.

A couple of weeks ago Tucker went on an emotional and factual rant about some democrat act of malevolence before going to commercial break. When the camera came back on he was red-faced with laughter while looking off set. Couldn't regain his composure quickly enough and he looked really dumb trying to again be serious with the red face. It was a true Wellstone moment and left me with that "I'm just a customer/taxpayer/viewer" feeling. Also, he never shows animus toward democrats that fail to respond to his invitations to appear. Just gives us that little smirk.

Tucker invited someone to be on his show. They were busy, so the declined to show up in person and instead, offered a surrogate and provided some documents. A very professional thing to do.
Tucker threw a tantrum.
He then made a big deal that Powell rejected his invitation. I'm disappointed in Carlson. He most certainly owes Powell and his viewers and apology. I will wait to express my judgement.

Fox News may be realigning to become the "loyal opposition" to a Biden administration.
Ineffective, not hard hitting but a comfortable place for squishy moderates and lo-fo's
pretending to be informed. Still hated and mocked but, like uniparty GOPers, laughing
all the way to the bank.

Evil Soros worked his way into Fox News, thus his name shall not be mentioned. Carlson no longer does, which says a lot about him.

Tucker wanted a big time scoop for his show, and Sidney wouldn't do it. She has a legal case to build that will probably go before the Supreme Court and she and the team have very little time to do it. She explained that all of this stuff should have been done by government agencies such as the Justice Department, the FBI, and other agencies years ago. Now it's up to civilians to try and fix it, and she and the other lawyers are trying to put together a case and she's not going to telegraph what she has before she has to.

Tucker is the best we're going to get. Is he wrong to ask for any proof from Sydney? It seems to me that the Left's practice of labeling each and every allegation of election fraud as being "without proof," it behooves the Right to say, "you want proof, here's proof."

They are all entertainers, celebrities, obsessed with their own careers above all. They talk about political developments, issues, ideas, but can't get to the overnight ratings charts fast enough to see what worked, what didn't work, what they need to do next time, etc. To think they are "like us," and engaged in a political struggle, is a delusion. Maybe nobody has proved that so blatantly as Ann Coulter. But they are all Ann Coulter. Haven't you noticed that everybody-- *everybody*-- is pimping a book? Their latest book. (Coulter pumped out a whole library.) Or a "special" coming up?
Don't trust any of them, or expect anything of them.

Carlson walked into a wall. What he has done is not forgiveable. Carlson, mad guy, why didn't you call up Weissman and ask him for the evidence, and get mad? Why didn't you call up Comey, and ask him for the evidence? Why didn't you call up Vindman, and ask him for the evidence? You are a fraud, Carlson. You have to issue an apology, but it will not be enough. You have shown your color, and it is cowardly.

I started watching Tucker last night but when he started bashing Sidney Powell, I turned on NCIS New Orleans. At least there, they go after the bad guys and usually win. Tucker's behavior last night hurt Laura. If I were she, I would take him down a peg or two.

My take, for what it's worth. This is a continuation of the ongoing coup. What do you do in the middle of a coup that comes at the end of your term? Do you lay down and allow the coup to succeed as time runs out? If this farce of an election is allowed to stand then we are at our Republic's end. Giuliano, Powell and Wood et al have done what our Founders did in 1776. They have laid down their honor. Their fortunes and their lives.

Sorry but Tucker is doing what the media specialists do. CNN et al have pronounced Biden the PRESIDENT_ELECT except it's not up to them. There is NO "office of the president elect". There is no Biden Transition TEAM until he has 270 electoral college votes. Tucker is doing what his bosses tell him to.
Sidney Powell on the other hand will have to stand up in a Court of Law and make her case against opposing counsel. So she's not eager to go on national TV and tip her hand !!! Duh

I guess he’s still a pretentious bow tie boy after all... Hope I’m wrong, but it won’t matter much, as I won’t watch anything on the Fox channel anyway. Okay. Maybe Maria. And Lou.

I was once addicted to Fox news--had it on all of the time. That was back in the "we report, you decide" days. After a week of Newsmax, I was very comfortable with a new source of news.

Tucker Carlson gives an ongoing platform for the most vile gutter scum propaganda, so he can demonstrate how "clever" he is by "debating" them It's an obnoxious show, but aside from the crappy guest debates he would also describe enough liberal crimes, treason and evil to be interesting. That was then.
Nevertheless I stopped watching ALL TV news months ago, which means I added Fox to the other list of programming I never watch. I don't miss Fox one bit. They became unwatchable after Murdoch & Roger Ailes left.
