Tucker Carlson is departing from Fox News. The reasons are unclear but this is very bad for American democracy and for the opposition to the Biden administration. Tucker Carlson was a voice of reason in a news media dominated by the fringe left.
Tucker Carlson was one of the real anti war voices in America. He routinely pointed out the dangers of a war between the United States and Russia over Ukraine. He repeatedly attacked the neoconservatives such as John Bolton, Bill Kristol, and Max Boot.
Carlson pointed out that Vladimir Zelensky was not the hero the media made him out to be. Carlson on more than one occasion reported on the repression of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the regime in Kiev. Carlson is very good journalist.
It really is a tragedy that Tucker Carlson could lose his voice while the morons of “the View” can stay on air staying stupid things. Most recently an actress I have never heard of was on “the View” comparing Christians in America to the Taliban. Christians are compared to the Taliban because they oppose trans ideology being imposed on children.
The “View” and others in the media have taken a hawkish stance on Russia. Stupid people who have no idea what could happen if the war in Ukraine spirals out of control. One of the few responsible and intelligent voices in the media is now gone.
This is a serious blow to democracy and the opposition to Joe Biden’s sinister policies.
One reply on “Democracy Takes A Hit”
Very disappointing, but not surprising. Tucker reported on topics that few others would, as a result of that he made a lot of powerful and vocal enemies. FOX Board is nervous and want less controversy going forward. Similarly CNN has gotten rid of several of their most controversial hosts and the buzz is several other networks are also going to be pruning back some of their usual ‘lightning rods’ and reducing staff. We’ve seen several networks hit with big settlements the last couple of years, that can’t continue. These are businesses and they have to keep an eye on the bottom line. I’ll miss Tucker because he was one of the few Hosts who was genuinely questioning the justification for the Ukrainian War and looking past the rhetoric coming out of Washington DC.. Even considering their thought processes, I think this will end up being a big business mistake by FOX. Tucker had a big audience among Thinking Conservatives that won’t be satisfied by any other FOX host.
