I've had a consistent bias against him, though I have to admit that his revolutionary jargon here was quite direct.

So there's several actually serious possible explanations being thrown around (losing the company money, publicly badmouthing the executives, leaving a paper trail in a criminal conspiracy), but the one I think is funniest is that Murdoch's most recent ex is a big fan and he cancelled the show out of spite.

Alright we'll go with that until we hear otherwise.

I heard that he said something especially bad that hasn't been put in public during the investigations.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me that part of the settlement with Dominion was to fire or discipline Tucker on top of the near 800 million.
I got nothing to say here.

Does anyone know why CNN is down a Lemon? That was curious but coincidental timing.

I haven't heard anything beyond he got bad ratings and his coworkers thought he was an asshole.

He said sometimes some people take critical race theory a little too seriously.

CNN has been bought by a right wing mogul so I doubt that. Instead, it seems he was engaged in sexual harassment.
