Tucker Carlson - his future?

Personally, I think a bold move would be for CNN to pick him up in prime time. He would triple their ratings overnight, plus, their staff and viewers would instantly gain 25 points of IQ.

peace to you

if that happens - then the plot thickens

Tucker Carlson almost certainly had a non-compete clause built into his contract. Unless he negotiated his way out of it (unlikely, since he was fired -- with cause), he won't appear on any rival network or on an upstart media platform until the terms of his contract expires.

It is astounding to me that people who profess to be disciples of Jesus think he should be taken seriously or devote themselves to his message.

He was fired “with cause”? Could you explain what the cause was and how you know about it? What exactly are the terms of his contract and how do you know that info?

You should be careful throwing stones at other believers over politics.

We know he was fired. He told his audience he would be back on Monday and his staff was working on his show the morning he left. There are a number of causes, probably several of them at once, including the $787.5 million settlement with Dominion, some texts that were uncovered during discovery, and a lawsuit against Fox News from a former producer for Carlson. Do a Google search and you will find what you are looking for. I'm sure you will disbelieve anything that you don't like.

It is standard to have a non-compete clause in media contracts (I have signed them), especially at that level. And Fox News has had them with other media figures who have been fired or have resigned.

Not about politics, but the gullibility of his audience and Carlson's rhetoric. I do not understand why so many Christians lack the basic skills of discernment AND do not recognize that Carlson's rhetoric (among many other political pundits) is designed to provoke outrage and dehumanize persons we are supposed to love. That is opposed to the basic teachings of Jesus.

So….. everything you said was pure speculation… got it. You don’t know and are assuming…..

Having watched his show in occasion, I can say I didn’t always agree with him, but… I never heard him “dehumanize persons we are suppose to love”

That is slander.. most likely based on ignorance…. You should give an example of such “dehumanizing” or apologize.

Peace to you

Non-compete is standard in the media.
and firing a media personality is not unusual.
Many a DJ have been fired and not even allowed to go back in to pick up personal items .(The staff will be glad to pack them in a box for you)

Not really an expert myself. It seems such clauses would prevent the media personality of getting a large audience and then moving for better money in the same market.

Would have to see the contract to know how termination, with or without cause, would affect that clause.

like I said, Tucker will be just fine and I expect to see him soon.

peace to you

Here in Syracuse many years ago - a news man left TV 3 and joined TV 5 - BUT his non-compete time was not yet up. TV 5 had promos aobut Matt - but they did not show his face. - the day after his contract us up he was on the air with TV 5. Then a couple of years later - he went back to TV 3. Now here is the clincher - about 5 years ago TV 5 signed a LMA with TV 3 - TV 5 fired all newsmen - except 1! The new Newsteam is now know as CNY Central - and all the News staff are on both stations. On the weekends - TV 5 simply simulcast TV 3!

Crazy things happen in the media.

One other crazy thing - TV 9 has a local show of light news, events, ect. Well, the hostess started dong commericals for a local car dealer. About 3 moths later she resigned from the station. Methings the car dealership told her - "its us or them" She is now the spokesman for the dealer - who has about 20 dealershiips!

Tucker got Micheal Avanatti to sit for an interview and ran a "Creepy P0rn Lawyer" chyron under him while he was on the air. Hilarious.

And I love how "I think if you really loved Jesus, you'd agree with me" still gets tossed around here.

I remember that. Very funny. It’s interesting the instincts he had about people. He was very good at getting to the truth.

I noticed lately he refused to call trans people in the news by their “gender identity”. He would say, “this man” or “this woman”. He was particularly candid about grown men, dressing as women and seeking to entertain children.

BTW, I agree whole heartedly with the last point.

peace to you
