Breaking: Tucker got shitcanned at Fox News

I'm not sure that has all that much to do with it. It drained only about a fifth of their available cash.

 

If they're honest with themselves, they'll acknowledge that they made all that money by lying, so when those lies wind up costing them money later on, they should consider that a cost of doing business.

 

I wonder how that precise figure was agreed upon. $787.5 million. Not $787 or $788 million.


Its the first of several lawsuits - another one is at least as big.   And there's mulitple sexual harrassment suits still to come.    Shareholders leave their politics at the door when it comes to their pocket books.    And thats another issue.  You can bet there will be shareholder class action lawsuits claiming the incompetent management mishandled their investment.   Stay tuned.

 

FOX is trying to stop the bleeding and also do some window dressing so they can look like they are addressing the underlying problems.     

 

As for Tuck-face -  he'll land on his feet somewhere.  If nothing else he'll start his own podcast.   

I am sure there is some kind of do not compete clause in his contract.

Oh, that's easily evaded. He can just call whatever shit he winds up doing something other than "news program hosting" or whatever his contract says he can't do. And I doubt a non-compete clause is binding if your employer fires you summarily anyway.

 

But he will land on his paws regardless. There are plenty of places for him to spew that are farther out there than Fox and would welcome a celebrity like him--and wouldn't be turned off in the slightest by his being a shameless liar. We know there are plenty of idiot goobers out there who will slurp up his every word.

Or maybe he is going to run for president.

David Miller would have a hard time deciding who to cuck for in that scenario.

Oh please please please let that happen! Third party--Tucker's Fuckers, or Tucker's Suckers. Bleed votes from Trump. RIP GOP.

Reporting says Tucker's contract runs through 2024 and Fox is going to continue to pay him the 1.6 million a month he gets to keep him from going elsewhere. Looks like Pucker won't be able to cover the 2024 election cycle.

Well, after you've been hit for $787 million, $20 million or so looks like chump change...

 

I wonder how restrictive their agreement with him is. I'm sure he'll be mouthing off on social media no matter what, and maybe he'll go on campaign tour with Trump and give him handjobs while he struggles to read the big words on the teleprompter. (David has no shot at that job.)
