One of the interesting elements to the Tucker Carlson story is that no one knows why he was fired, but lots of people are sure they know why he was fired. The only thing from Fox so far has been a brief statement in which they announced his departure and thanked him for his service to the company. Carlson made a short video from his home studio telling his fans that everything is going to be fine. Otherwise, there is nothing solid on which to base a theory.
The best reason so far was the first reason. The timing suggested it had something to do with the lawsuit Fox was forced to settle with Dominion over their coverage of the election shenanigans. Facing a rigged trial, Fox agreed to pay Dominion an absurd amount of money for hurting their feelings and the feelings of the crazies who demand we believe Joe Biden is more popular than Jesus. Right after they made the deal, Tucker and Dan Bongino get fired.
Given the nastiness of the people who chant “election denier” it is perfectly reasonable to think they would demand a pound of flesh from Fox. Many of the crazies jumped on this idea because it made them feel like winners. On the other hand, the Murdoch clan may have decided that they were dragged into this mess by people like Carlson, so they were going to purge the ranks of these people. Again, the timing of this is what lends support to the claim Carlson was fired over the lawsuit.
This being the current year, it did not take long for new theories to emerge. One was that Rupert Murdoch was spooked by Tucker’s speech at Heritage. Reportedly, Rupert Murdoch freaks out when people mention God around him. Others said Carlson’s candor about the news media in the speech is what did the trick. The speech covered a lot of ground, so the people pushing this theory were spoiled for choice. The speech was the last straw for the Murdoch family.
A new theory has been dropped that suggests The Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky had Tucker fired. He supposedly had a call with the Murdoch clan just before they made the call on Tucker. The antiwar crowd has seized on this story, claiming that the Murdoch clan are either in bed with the dictator or they were pressured by the regime to get rid of their most prominent war critics. This does not explain the Bongino firing, but maybe that was unrelated.
The New York Times has now created a new theory. Someone at Fox News is leaking confidential company material to regime media. These are texts that were produced in discovery during the Dominion lawsuit. In one of the text, Carlson used the phrase “white men” in a positive way. According to the anti-white bigots at the New York Times, this was such an outlandish threat to “our democracy” the Murdoch clan had no choice but to expel this heretic from their company.
Amusingly, the people the Times is fond of libeling are perfectly willing to accept this as a valid theory for the firing of Tucker Carlson. Here is Keith Woods on Twitter signal boosting the theory. It is a great example of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. If the Times placed this story next to a story denying human intelligence, the same people would point out all of the errors in the latter but accept without question all of the claims in the former, never noticing the contradiction.
The trouble with all of these theories is that they depend on the assumption that Carlson is something different behind the scenes. This is not a bad assumption since most entertainers are horrible people. They play a role on television that is designed to attract an audience. In real life, they are usually terrible people. In the case of Tucker, the crazies think he wears a white sheet in his free time, while his fans worry that maybe he does not wear a white sheet in his free time.
In reality, Carlson is pretty much what you see on television. If anything, his on-air persona is more biting and tough than he is in real life. Unlike most people in the media, he is a normal person in real life. He is rich as hell, but he likes the things normal men enjoy, like hobbies and time with his family. He is a rarity in conservative show business in that he actually lives a conservative life. It is highly unlikely that he says anything in private that is all that interesting.
What is really going on with these theories is that they provide an escape from facing the underlying reality to this story. That reality is the people at the top of American society not only all agree on the important things, but they all agree that you are the real problem. What defines people at the top of the managerial class is their disdain for normal people. As a result, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on members of the elite to conform to current fads.
Since Trump came down the escalator, the Murdoch family has been subjected to the worst sort of social pressure. Despite their great wealth, they still seek approval from their social class. The reason they fired Tucker and will most likely turn Fox News into a gay version of CNN is they simply grew tired of being pariahs. Maybe the lawsuit was the final straw or maybe it was an innocuous thing, but they finally decided they were tired of fighting and submitted to their mob.
This has been the story of the last eight years. Trump and his supporters among the Cloud People have been viewed as traitors. The antibodies of the ruling class have been at work isolating and then expelling them. The Murdoch clan feared expulsion more than submission, so they submitted. Tucker Carlson, on the other hand, has been expelled. Soon, Trump and his followers will be expelled, and democracy will have finally been cured of this terrible disease.

Moving to a new house next month. I see no reason to continue paying for cable TV.

Maxda: We moved just under a month ago. I haven’t watched tv in years, but my husband still paid for and watched cable (although less and less as time went by). Since we moved he has not watched one moment of tv – not in the hotel, not in our new home (which I think has roku). I am so grateful for so many things right now – among them, that our rural move seems to have finally severed my husband’s tv habit. Our younger son got roku at his new house in town (about an hour from us) and was still following the NFL draft – but for once, my husband did not share that interest. Instead, he and I now watch the deer outside our window as we eat dinner.
11
Glad to hear you’ve made the move. I hope You and Yours are well.
And great news on the lack of TV – always a plus.

OrangeFrog: Thank you for your good wishes. I hope you and your family are doing well amidst the various cutbacks, limitations, and massive price increases I’ve read about in England. Take pride in your three White children.

Cable TV is dying. Faux did Tucker, and the DR, a favor.
12
In the short term there are still normie boomers watching Fox News, Tucker introduced them to arguments they weren’t going to hear anywhere else. The ratings have fallen off faster than I expected. Maybe even they are getting tired of the crap being peddled at them every night.
5
Long term, the most significant aspect of the Regime’s latest shitshow may be the death of cable television. Good riddance. Short term, we are once again reminded that this is a system riddled with insecurity and more afraid than we are confident that it isn’t long for the world. While censorship and oppression have sadistic elements, they ultimately represent fear. Wounded beasts are the most dangerous, though, and people would do well to bear that in mind.
The Regime has gotten rid of someone who says nasty and hurtful things about it and brought home the point to millions perhaps for the first time it no longer has much if any legitimacy. It is a system in crisis.
8
I agree – so many reasons….
Probably not a coincidence that during his last couple of weeks on Fox, Tucker interviewed Trump, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. All characters that the cloud people desperately want silenced. Also doubt it’s a coincidence that Biden clumsily announced his reelection bid the day after Tucker was yanked off the air.
9
True, but I suspect looking closely at the Ukraine grift already had him on thin ice. The Empire is drawing to a close and Ukraine may be the last war looting available, so revealing its totalitarian face may be of low cost to those smashing and grabbing.

That white people have specific rules of combat and fair play is a fact so obvious that it’s farcical to argue against it. This is why the usual suspects are either just pointing and shrieking or posting graphs of lynches throughout history (let’s forget for a moment most of those guys lynched were guilty as hell). I have never seem a black confrontation that did not incorporate the swarm strategy, nor one that stopped once the person was down and no longer a threat.
More generally, most of the leaks have backfired and made him even more likeable, and this is the first one that would make the normiecon a little squeamish to defend, even if he knows Tucker is right.
There’s a reason the truth about race needs to be the focus of right-wing rhetoric, because as soon as whites are able to process and understand such a clear truth, all the regime propaganda comes crashing down. Paradoxically, this message may be the best way to get this conversation going if used right.
15
One on one, man to man, sure.
When white men go to war, especially Americans, they couldn’t fight any dirtier.
Blowing up civilian infrastructure projects (electric plants, dams, pipelines, pharmaceutical plants, etc) leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths of women and children over the ensuing decades is just standard operating procedure.
Organized white man violence is pretty awful.

We destroy efficiently and ruthlessly, yes, but we also build back. That’s what high-IQ, K-selected people do.

It must be efficient and ruthless if you expect to win. Ask any Republican why the democommies run rings around them. The Marquis of Queensbury was a fag (even though he hated Oscar Wilde who was also a fag).

Every chance I get (which, alas, is rare) I use Z’s idea to push freedom of association as it’s something the regime has no answer for outside of “because we say so”. There’s no moral argument on their part for forced-association, and in fact their morality works against them in this regard.
3
I agree with Dave Smith.
I was shocked the day he was fired. Then a few days later I was surprised that they ever let him on the air. He did segments on how the CIA killed JFK.
11
Yeah, kudos (?!) to Fox News for keeping him on as long as they did. They could have had a lineup of Hannity and Shapiro and Gutfeld and whatever CoC goon they scraped off the floor of the AEI executive bathroom, but they kept Tucker who has been radioactive to the regime since 2017. Read his book Ship of Fools (published back in 2018) and you wonder why Fox didn’t can him way back then. I’m guessing he had a lot of support, especially in the management of FNC, which is a white pill. Only the holy of holies (the Murdoch inner circle) wanted him out.
4
It was the least surprising cancellation since the Sandinistas closed LA PRENSA. Every time Carlson broadcasted was a shock given the totalitarian nature of the GAE.
5
It would have been a little too obvious if they canned him the day after he said the CIA did it
I was genuinely surprised by the media matters “leaks” and any dirt dished out in general. Tucker appears genuine. He is who he says he is. Maybe his speech about truth or whatever isn’t a double-secret CIA plot. Maybe he’s just a rare bird.
It doesn’t matter anyway. It’s all entertainment for me.
14
I’ve yet to see a “damning, leaked” clip of Tucker that didn’t make me like him more.
The clip with him saying his appearance would be judged by “post menopausal women” wasn’t just funny, but a pretty keen observation of reality of his networks main demographic. Along with his critics demo as well.
“Misogynistic?” For that? You’ve got to be kidding me.
18
I guess most of you patriotic Americans forget about the Las Vegas massacre coverup that Tucker was part of. That’s when I stopped watching his bull crap.

15
What’s your theory? My Nevada cop friends and contacts still maintain that “it was a crazy guy & we still don’t know why he did it.” I don’t think most people in Vegas believe that, but no full & credible explanation has emerged.
1
Whatever the true motives of the alleged shooter (or any other shooters) were, I would not underestimate the ability of the casino owners to squelch everything about this story. They have both the motive and the clout to make that happen. The last thing they want is people thinking of mass shooting when they think of Vegas. Bad for business. Not to mention their legal liability for allowing the guy up in there in that room with all those weapons (if that’s what really happened). They are the people most directly and negatively affected by any sunlight on the truth about what happened. Thus it is in their interest to make the whole thing just go away, and they probably have the ability to make that happen.
1
Was looking at the Guardian today, since TC was fired they have been running stories about how evil he is, eg he might have used the C word in private, so he just had go go
And now today they are running a story about journalists that have been silenced in various countries. Strangly TC didn’t make list
16
No one in power or close to power and authority can resist the mob/blob for long. I suppose Trump came the closest and has held out the longest, at least on some issues, but the blob immune system has him fairly well contained, no matter his popularity with the majority of dirt people. As the Borg are wont to say, Resistance Is Futile…

It was suggested in the thread yesterday that the target audience for propaganda is not normies, but true believers. Normies will never do anything. To riff on that idea, perhaps the reason Tucker survived as long as he did, and why he has now gone, is that Fox News was supposed to be dirt people propaganda. If Tucker started to get mind-share among a fraction of the upper middle class, that would be about as welcome to the elite as a toilet backing up.
8
“It was suggested in the thread yesterday that the target audience for propaganda is not normies, but true believers.”
I believe this to be in error, for the following reason: Satan wants to damned as many people as possible – thus destroying their chance at finding The Christ and Redemption. So, not only is normie a target, everybody else is, too.
For example, imagine the joy of The Evil One when he manages to convince the son of a strong, Christian Dissident man that he’s really a women.
The Evil is real. Let us speak of it for what it is.

The marching morons of ConInc. are 1,000% committed to the notion that they will eventually muster the right magic words and miraculously persuade the masses to return to sanity. In this fevered delusion, “sane” politicians are thereby elected to office and the country does a 180 deg turn for the better. But this is just a slick version of “chase the carrot” so that you don’t have to get the fat ass up off the couch.
With the firing of Carlson, who is going to pick up the baton of Master Persuader and keep normie ranting in front of the TV as the approved pressure relief valve? This is critical because, as long as normie has beer and Cheetos, he will grunt and fart his way to relief rather than take to the streets in protest. Murdock needs to think seriously about replacing Carlson with Dylan Mulvaney and doing a Bud Light on Fox News.
And all of this is a sideshow. Two megatrends have sealed our fate. The first is the industrial scale vote manufacturing that determines the outcome of all elections going forward. The old canard about voter fraud being about 0.5% is laughable now. It easily reaches into the 20-30% range in most urban areas around the country. Second is that voter fraud is actually unnecessary. Tens of millions of Americans voted to put a dementia patient in the White House and millions of Pennsylvanians voted to put a certifiable nut case in the Senate. And this is the tip of the iceberg. Most DC politicians are either pathologically corrupt or full retard (or both).
The only real remedy is collapse and rebirth under the natural duress of existential hardship. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. And the quicker we hit bottom, the higher it will be.

Some future system will build it’s own lethargy into itself so that the whole thing doesn’t need to be burned down to reform it.
If an infintite number of grillers were given an infinite number of typewriters to pound on, they’d still fail to arrange the key strokes in such a way that the scales would fall from the eyes of the spiteful mutants that rule over and torment them.

I’m curious about who schedules the guests, particularly on the popular Gutfeld show. When a man in womans makeup and a dress shows up, if it ain’t Benny Hill, it becomes a clown show.

“the Murdoch family has been subjected to the worst sort of social pressure. Despite their great wealth, they still seek approval from their social class. The reason they fired Tucker and will most likely turn Fox News into a gay version of CNN is they simply grew tired of being pariahs.”
In other words, FOX is controlled opposition, they are are only allowed to give the approved “conservative” viewpoint so long as it does not actually threaten the power of the ruling class.
FOX is a pacifier to keep Norm Griller thinking that voting still matters, he lives in the freest country in the world, blacks are just the same as whites except for skin color, Ukrainians are fighting for freedom and democracy, and Israel is our greatest ally.
Nota bene, Israel bootlicker and Ukraine shill Hannity still has a secure gig on FOX. That tells you everything you need to know.
20
I stopped watching Hannity several years ago when he just kept repeating himself over and over. Hillary used bleach bit on her servers, and now here is Lindsay Graham to lie about how he will get to the bottom of it.
Now it occurs to me that this is why he is no threat to the regime. Sure, he pounds the table about whatever is already known about what the left is doing. But he never breaks any news or has any original insights. Tucker was exposing details no one else in mainstream conservatism would touch.
8
“FOX is a pacifier to keep Norm Griller thinking that voting still matters, he lives in the freest country in the world, blacks are just the same as whites except for skin color, Ukrainians are fighting for freedom and democracy, and Israel is our greatest ally.” One hundred percent correct! Not a shadow of a doubt about it. But shouldn’t we have already known that long before Carlson got the boot? I knew it many, many moons ago. I’m guessing you likely knew it as well.
The more invested an entity is in the system, the more suspect that entity is. FOX is a massive corporation with a major seat at the system’s banquet table (guess who’s on the menu?). Nobody with any grasp of how the world works would trust such an outfit. They’re telling you all the news that the fat cats want you to believe — no different than any of the leftist organs. They’re just scamming a different a group of rubes than those leftist organs.

Definition of “gatekeepers”: keeping the argument safely corralled in approved lanes.
“In the case of Tucker, the crazies think he wears a white sheet in his free time, while his fans worry that maybe he does not wear a white sheet in his free time.” Damn. I don’t think we credit Zman enough for his sense of humor. That’s a hilarious line.
Here’s what I told a cousin of mine who said he was “devastated” that Tucker Carlson had been fired: one guy on a cable news program talking trash about our rulers will not save our civilization. Like virtually everything else hyped by mainstream media, this firing is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Carlson getting the ax might actually be a good thing for a lot of his fan base. It could serve as a wake-up call for them. Perhaps some of those remaining blinders might come off. Time to lose every last iota of faith one might retain in the U.S. regime.
P.S.: It’s easy for me to say all that because I was not a follower of Carlson. I’ve seen plenty of clips of his commentary and he was fine as it goes . . . but if this is as “edgy” as a person can get away with being on primetime TV, our culture is probably a lost cause.
10
The only time I saw Carlson was via clips on various websites – and he was about as good as it got as far as calling out or lampooning the deep state and their narratives. But I have to say his high pitched girlie man laugh was like nails on a chalkboard.

“Carlson used the phrase “white men” in a positive way.”
If true, good for him. White men of yesteryear sure got us some good stuff. Last night, as I was rocking my youngest son at 02:00 in the morning, I was reading RFC for the SSH protocol. In the contributors section, well, it was like a Klan who’s who: white names (mainly Finnish and Estonian) all over the place. No women, either!
To get back on-topic, whatever Carlson’s negative points, it does seem like an interesting development. I mean, from what you fellows say, he seemed to be realizing certain “naughty things” in real-time.
May the Good God be with him.
2
Apparently, Carlson’s unfathomable transgression was saying that multiple guys beating up one guy is not the way white men fight. Such behavior is dishonorable. Such a statement, you see, is white supremacy. **shrug** I really couldn’t care less. The more I hear of what the Power Structure designates as white supremacy, the more I feel like waving my white supremacist banner on high.

I think the essay is onto something the Murdock’s and their next generation may just be tired of playing Satan to the loonies and they can see the writing on the wall that the crazies are only going to stay around and grow even more powerful.
So Tucker gets chucked into the volcano.
Trump keeps climbing back up the sides of the volcano and reappearing but he is destined to get chucked back into the abyss.
We don’t get out of this easily.

What now happens to the thousands of hours of Stop The Steal recordings Rep. McCarthy gave to Tucker exclusively?

Nailed it! A the Narrative, at its heart, is always a cover-up of a cover-up.
I don’t know, guys. Why would the CIA fire the one guy with an audience in the millions who exposed the CIA’s corruption, up to and including assassinating a sitting president? It’s a mystery, I tell you.

“Since Trump came down the escalator, the Murdoch family has been subjected to the worst sort of social pressure. Despite their great wealth, they still seek approval from their social class.”
Isn’t it strange how conformist the supposedly most-exceptional people can be? It’s tempting to think it’s the nature of power, but there’s power in being different, too.
“What defines people at the top of the managerial class is their disdain for normal people. As a result, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on members of the elite to conform to current fads.”
There, I suspect, is the answer. It has more to do with the nature of aristocracy, so to speak. The best—or at least the people who aspire to be the best—prove to be utterly mediocre. The most normie, in a sense. Maybe hence the disdain. Tucker’s expulsion is proof he’s the best of that particular bunch.
Normie is frustrating, but normie doesn’t pretend he’s something he’s not. His life doesn’t revolve around chasing markers of status and convincing others to take part in his delusion. (Unless that’s what he’s told to do lol. Normie is the good soldier, at best.) These people are the worst, because they’re driven to be something they can never be, and they’ve managed to infect society with their pathology.
Writ large. Think trans.
7
“His life doesn’t revolve around chasing markers of status and convincing others to take part in his delusion.”
Hmmm, IMO this notion does not pass the sniff test. Joe and Jane Normie signal exactly those things, with their name-brand college bumper stickers. Doing so, they not only plunge their offspring into heavy debt (not to mention mind control), but convince others it’s all worth it.
1
It’s a pity, but it’s not terribly surprising from a business point of view.
In the final analysis, TV is about advertising revenue. Ratings are not necessarily the same as revenue. Yes, Tucker had great ratings. But the major advertisers, with the encouragement of the Regime, were growing leery of Fox, just like they are doing with Twitter.
Meanwhile, Fox needs the support of the Regime to make acquisitions and secure programming rights (FIFA, NFL, NBA etc). Fox is also competing for content with Netflix, Amazon, etc. In this scenario, it is very hard for them to continue to resist the Woke hordes.
Tucker is probably happy he can reboot on a Podcast for big $$ and avoid the Howard Beale treatment.
5
That Carlson has been able to “avoid the Howard Beale treatment” (great reference, by the way) tells us he’s no serious threat to the regime. I suspect that the powers that be merely grew tired of what in their minds was his annoying antics.
Regardless of his level of sincerity, Carlson always functioned as a COPE for his fan club — as if one fella “speaking truth to power” could somehow compensate for the irreversible corruption and degeneracy that have come to define our entire culture/politics. That COPE has now been removed. Could be a good thing. At the very least, it’s not nearly the bad thing that many presume it to be.
1
In his Sub-star, the Zman reminds us of the cable tax that supercedes ad revenue.
I’m thinking the ability to float commercial paper (corporate bonds) has become as or more important than quarterly earnings estimates.
This means cash flow is a higher concern than fundamentals, because of ESG loan guidelines.
The corporations are captive to the banks. That, and a lot of golden parachutes are being prepared.
It’s a bust-out, the execs will burn the bar down once they’ve got the insurance check. Excusee, I meant to say the company will reorganize.

For lack of Tucker, I’ve gone back to listening to the Sith. The Fall of Tucker has them reinvigorated and ready for the fray; one of the Hive olfactants was farting out the change in direction*, saying “Trump fatigue”.
Simply put, with Le Tuck as their newest freshest Hate fetish, the Sith are losing their sh*t!
(Ants lay out a trail by smell; the other ants can’t but help themselves to follow to the next breadcrumb. Humans use sound, not smell, but we still signal Hive or Not Hive, Tree or Not Tree.
Ray’s delightful “Hive or Not Hive” reminded me of a hold-your-breath moment in the movie ‘Mimic’, where a man-sized soldier cockroach is sniffing the goo-covered heroine as she escapes the hidden hive under New York.)
2
(I kept reading, can verify that the NYT piece is all the rage on the Sith airwaves.
Also: “it was a toy drone!
Putin false flag!”
“Arrest the corrupt conservative Supreme Court justices!”
And, “grab the white people’s guns, ‘cuz a Cartel loonie the authorities knew about shot some poor illegal refugees seeking a better life!”)

The Tucker saga also exposes how anything short of “total victory” is framed as a loss by our chattering class. Fox is CNN most of the day. They even had a big LGBTQIA+ celebration last year. Most of them were down with the riots in 2020. Tucker was a lone voice even at Fox. But having even a single guy not toeing the line is too much for them to take. He must be destroyed.
11
Will miss Tucker calling Zelensky a “strip-club manager”. Made me laugh every time.

Will miss Tucker calling Zelensky a “strip-club manager”.
I prefer “burlesque dancer.”

Yeah I’ll go along with that recap.
Tucker is not a warrior, he’s a pink-pilled educator. So, like Donald Trump, Tucker didn’t count coup or take any scalps. Tucker made waves but no permanent changes. The Politburo isn’t worried about him. They’re just methodically extinguishing the resisters and truthspeakers.
Tucker’s a Standard Normie, Eighties-era lib with an extra jolt of intelligence and common-sense patriotism. Solid family man but don’t expect him to skeer anybody on the battlefield. I used to call him ‘Cucker Tarlson’ because like his fellow ‘conservatives’ he cannot handle the female question, which is at the heart of America’s demise. After all, what would his three daughters think as they made their way through Woke College and Empowered Don’t Need No Man Careers?
I wish Tucker well, he did pretty good and most important he confesses Christ. But he is a sheep, not a sheepdog.
5
From what I have come to understand he is ok with ‘gay’ marriage, so I’m not sure how that demonstrates he ‘confesses Christ’.
He was at his best when he skewered limp-wristed Republican leaders like Kristi Noam. To openly take on the monolith that is the inner party? Well, a man has his limitations.
1
Assuming Z’s theory of Pariah Fatigue is correct–and I suspect it may well be–Fox’s capitulation resembles Daniel Snyder, who, after many years of standing up to the crazies on the Redskins moniker, finally bent the knee and gave the NFL its sanitary Commanders. (Hey, at least it’s not some abstract collective noun like the Wild or the Magic.) So far, we have virtually no examples of elites who have been able to permanently ignore the perpetual shaming from the Power Structure. Verily, we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven. We are simpering, mincing and fearful. We treat opprobrium as if it were the literal equivalent of being burnt at the stake. Until we gain some real toughness and perspective, the Great Derangement will continue unabated.
6
“We treat opprobrium as if it were the literal equivalent of being burnt at the stake.”
GREAT line.
Social media, to cite one example, may not be the cause of this phenomenon, but it certainly has acted as an accelerant. Westerners have become quite Japanese-like in recent years and embrace and fear “the nail sticking out gets hammered in” impulse. While the individualism of White Westerners is decried because it indeed made us vulnerable, it also led to the creation of great art and resulted in remarkable scientific advances. Hammered in people, fearful of opprobrium, are incapable of such heights, and perhaps the current iteration is incapable of any level of civilization.
1
While we are busy looking at the past and trying to make sense out of how we got where we are, the regime lives in the future, because the regime knows the future. It has plans. And I’ve no doubt that Tucker’s deplatforming was part of their preparation to clear the decks of any resistance for 2024. Their election rigging apparatus is still in its relative infancy. You are seeing the fine tuning in real time.
4
Excellent as usual, Z! But I think it is something bigger than just the firing of a popular pundit going on here. It just feels like there is a bigger story here? Let me throw out another theory:
Tucker got fired – and as you said, Don Lemon got turfed the same day. According to Mark Dice, CNN is now making pained efforts trying to pass themselves off as more balanced and objective. Fox is now too.
Is the ruling class finally becoming aware of the great peril they are in? They have been playing with lighters, black powder, and gasoline for at least the last 20 years and more likely 30. There was big money in sensational copy and performance artists and content creators made a killing off of ginning up nasty rivalries and confrontations. As a result EVERYTHING is political now, right down to sportzball, the flu and the rope you use in the garage to pull the door down. The crazies have always been a problem for us and a profit for the establishment… but now? The crazies are breeding like flies, and normie is getting restless.
Normie isn’t laying on his couch anymore. He’s not drinking Bud Lite, He is starting to Notice the wrong things. Worse, he is talking about them. Antisemitism has gone through the roof. I think the jew noticing that would also be seriously wanting to know why. All the newspapers are laying off, downsizing or even closing down altogether. People are not watching sportzball or buying tickets. Several times a week, you see average normie white people getting viciously murdered by stupid looking clot headed blacks on Blab and other free thinking/free speech platforms.. The Narratives are falling apart. Even the lefitiest of the leftie shitlibs has to see that the wheels are coming off their bus, and Normie is loading his guns and stropping his bayonet. The real Boogaloonians are now pretty much radio silent and deep underground… and the FBI is stuck going after morons like the proud boys, or the stubfart Oaf Keepers. Won’t be surprised to see them going after white supremist organizations like the Shriners, the Elks and The Loyal Order Of Buffaloes next. Nobody is buying it and the result from the public is derisive laughter.
Could this be the beginning of an honest attempt by the media to restore some kind of civility and objectivity? Hell’s bells – TRUMP is going on CNN next week! In The Hive… you fear The Bad Orange Man and you sure as hell don’t go after icons like Don Lemon. Or women or jews. Hell… Leftie would have run Twitter right into the dirt had they not been able to pawn it off on Elon.
I dunno… I could be full a beans… but this firing of Tucker feels to me like something much bigger, that there are tectonic masses involved… and that they are finally beginning to move. Something HAS to be done, or something is going to give – we could be at war with our families and brothers soon. I already am.
Maybe that biases me in the way I perceive things. Whadda I know?
