Tucker Carlson out at Fox News effective immediately. Don Lemon fired from CNN
- Thread starter praetor
- Start date
Black people were finished with Don nearly 10 years ago. White people just kept him on because he clearly checked a box. He no longer checks that box so he’s now unemployed.
That bitch been neutered.... and like I said earlier, no way that FOX didn't put a "non-compete" clause in their contract with their golden goose
Fox Has a Secret ‘Oppo File’ to Keep Tucker Carlson in Check, Sources Say
Eight sources tell Rolling Stone that the network’s top brass has been stockpiling information on the departing prime-time hostFOX NEWS EXECUTIVES have in their possession a dossier of alleged dirt on Tucker Carlson should he attack the network in the wake of his departure, eight sources at and close to the network tell Rolling Stone.
When Fox announced Carlson’s departure on Monday, the network presented the separation as amicable. But according to one former on-air Fox personality, the anchor and some of the channel’s top executives are parting ways on “the worst” and “messiest possible terms.” Indeed, in private communications released last month as part of the Dominion-Fox lawsuit, the now-fired Fox host gossiped that one such exec “hates us,” claiming she was covertly working against him and other hosts.
But if Carlson attempts to torch the network he’s leaving, Fox is prepared, the sources say.
Eight people familiar with the situation tell Rolling Stone that Fox News and its communications department — long led by the notoriously aggressive Irena Briganti — has assembled damaging information about Carlson. One source with knowledge calls it an “oppo file.” Two sources add that Fox is prepared to disclose some of its contents if execs suspect that Carlson is coming after the network.
The file includes internal complaints regarding workplace conduct, disparaging comments about management and colleagues, and allegations that the now-former prime-time host created a toxic work environment, three of the sources say. (Carlson is currently facing a lawsuit from a former senior booking producer, Abby Grossberg, alleging a toxic and misogynist workplace environment. The lawsuit details repeated instances of misogynist behavior at the network, including frequent lewd and sexual discussions of female guests and public figures. Grossberg “continued to endure a work environment that subjugates women based on vile sexist stereotypes, typecasts religious minorities and belittles their traditions, and demonstrates little to no regard for those suffering from mental illness.” Fox denied the allegations when the lawsuit was filed, saying the claims were “without merit.”)
A network spokesperson denied the existence of the file on Carlson. “This is patently absurd and categorically false,” the spokesperson said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We thank Tucker for his service to the network as a host, and prior to that, as a contributor.”
Many sources within the network disagree. “Irena will never be shy about using these things,” says one network source who is familiar with the Carlson-related complaints.
Over the years, Briganti and Fox PR’s tactics have been turned against its own most prominent talent. For instance, The Daily Beast reported in 2018 that “emails reviewed and verified” by the outlet “show that Fox’s communications brass have planted negative stories about some of their own top stars, including hosts like Bill O’Reilly and Stuart Varney — the latter of whom is still a Fox employee.”
Those methods for keeping personnel in line are an open secret among current and former Fox News staff. Four former Fox News personalities confirmed Briganti likes to keep “dirt files” on Fox News talent, including one on Carlson.
An ex-Fox News anchor laments, “Irena tries to keep a file on everybody.… Any talent like Tucker would have a lot of things; other people complaining. They encourage it, and then just keep it on file. It’s just a classic dirty trick.”
“[Briganti] keeps files on everybody to screw with them,” a departed Fox News host adds. “It’s classic Fox.”
The sources say it was not clear what might prompt Briganti or Fox News to use the file. On Monday, it was revealed that Carlson had hired Bryan Freedman, a high-powered entertainment lawyer, to represent him following his Fox exit. Rolling Stone did not receive comment from Carlson at the time of this piece’s publication. Freedman did not respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
It’s also unclear what precisely triggered Carlson’s abrupt departure. In addition to the Grossberg suit, he was a prominent figure in Dominion Voting Systems’ legal action against Fox News, which the network settled for $787.5 million earlier this month. In the run-up to trial, it was revealed that Carlson had bashed top brass in text chats with fellow network talent.
“Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience?” Carlson wrote shortly after Fox News projected Joe Biden had beaten Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Regarding Fox News executives, Carlson also privately sniped: “A combination of incompetent liberals and top leadership with too much pride to back down is what’s happening.”
Harshly trashing leadership is considered to be a major transgression at Fox News and Fox Business, where those who step out of line may find themselves on the receiving end of an unfavorable story.
Fox News has a history of taking punitive measures against departed personnel. When Megyn Kelly left the network in 2017 to host a morning talk show on NBC, it was reported that Briganti tried to push stories about the cable news star’s poor television ratings at the time, as well as her asking a Will and Grace fan if the show led him to being gay. Kelly has spoken out against Briganti, publicly noting the Fox spokeswoman’s “vindictiveness.” Briganti’s aggressive methods are widely known in the media. A 2016 New York magazine story titled “The Silencing of Fox News’ Powerful Publicist Irena Briganti” cited several then-Fox female employees who claimed “one of the reasons they did not speak up about sexual harassment in the past was that they were terrified Briganti would find out and smear them in the press.”
A current Fox News journalist says that Briganti won’t be afraid to use similar tactics against Carlson: “Irena is Fox’s fighter. She is very good at her job. I gotta believe she’s ready to fight Tucker if/when he takes this war publicly.”

This is crazy
Murmurs from the Tucker Bunker
Carlson’s post-Fox News viral jihad is merely step one in an evolving bow-tied rage campaign that is aimed at the hearts and minds and wallets of the 18-54 online-only MAGA demo.

Disagree.
Too much ego.
He wants to be BIGGER than Fox
And I could see him wasting millions building a media infrastructure to access his trusted deluded fan base directly.

In this case, he was fired, and he’s not getting any compensation , and his producer got a lawsuit against him. Like I said, he is going to go into hiding for a minute.
You think the sexual harrassment case is gonna do real damage?
It could be, but I’m not quite sure. Even Don lemon spoke after he got fired.
That's what I'm saying both these dudes don't look shook.
They GONNA get paid.
Only money they gonna lose is if they want all those non compete clauses removed.
Tucker audience loyal as hell.
They KNOW he full of sh*t have the emails and text to PROVE it but still will let him piss on their collective legs and heads and beg for more rain
I don't think Don has the following...
Especially in the black community OR the LGBTQ
So to me it's a more interesting proposition because I could see him just doing straight news which he is best at and no more commentary stuff which he was NOT good at.
Don is getting some money going out the door Tucker Carson is not getting anything
He is going to have to fight for it.
Producer suing Carlson for sex discrimination celebrates his departure
In a lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York, Grossberg accused Carlson and Fox of sexism and harassment, alleging that his show's workplace was replete with examples of misogyny. Her lawsuit claims, among other things, that mocked-up photographic images depicted then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "in a bathing suit revealing her cleavage" and that staffers were polled — on two separate occasions — on which of two female candidates for Michigan governor they would rather have sex with.
CNN-News18 - Wikipedia
According to Network 18, since its inception, the channel has been reaching out to an average of 45 million households every day.
As of February 2023, CNN had 80 million television households as subscribers in the US.
U.S. news is heavily controlled by foreign entities whether Fox or CNN due to the parent corporation being a transnational entity . Fox/Newscorp has alot of tie ups in China. It is no wonder we see this filth about pretending to be black with a low GPA to get into medical school being featured on CNN, but can't somehow locate me to do anything.
CNN is slowly becoming Indian TV and not some Atlanta based local outlet. This is why Don Lemon was terminated abruptly.
I have a couple ideas to deal with these transnational corporate structures to isolate their activities in the U.S., we need to end this deception of being "American" companies. Don Lemon got fooled up and lost his job over it, not knowing. I didn't know CNN has a household size in India almost bigger than the U.S.
It is clear these corporation are being exploited and turned against U.S. interest.

No need for all the empty charter Tucker did what he's supposed too, Fox originated off the fact Roger wanted alternative GOP news to speak directly to voters without going through mainstream media.
We back to those days, hence all these right wing dudes rehashing the same thing.
Tucker won't touch anything with moderation, probably some internet station and all hell breaks loose, that's the final nail in mainstream cable news. They already got a huge following

I would love to slap Tucker around a little. Respect to Jon Stewart who pulled this CAC's card back in his bowtie era... amazing that anyone could take this dude serious. "Both" sides indeed.
Something tells me that this wasn't the worst of what he's said. The one they wanted to put out there, but not the worst.
Trump had that fool fired
