MSM has had better Mondays.
Tucker Carlson found out Fox News ouster while he and his staff were preparing Monday's show: reports
After a decade-plus career at the network, Tucker Carlson was let go just 10 minutes before Fox News released a statement announcing his departure, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
The abrupt nature of the ouster was echoed in a report from The New York Times, which said the anchor was told Monday morning without any heads up....
After Tucker pissed on America for years it's refreshing to see Faux Noise piss on Tucker.

Meanwhile, NPR/PBS are boring, again.
I don't know that I remember Walter Cronkite being particularly boring. But the curating of what to cover has certainly changed as part of the effort to sensationalize. Early Fox stations were ridiculed for being "all crime all the time" and "if it bleeds it leads." That approach was apparently contagious over time. I watch local TV news but rarely national. Even with the local though, I'm guessing when they're putting their show together they look at the list of potential stories and and ask "what's the most entertaining" and not so much "what's the most important."billy.pilgrim wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 8:49 am

Additional paid vacation time? Universal Health Care? Food security? Oh, the horror!
You’re telling me I’m gonna have health care, paid vacation, and food security?!? That’s not a winning platform…
More family leave = Time to help loved ones/self get better = Good.
More leave time = more money we spend on the economy. Good.
Universal Health = Excellent.
Green Housing is more $ in my pocket = Good.
Food Security = Good.
Where's the problem here?

Fox Sends Cease-And-Desist Letter To Media Matters Over Leaked Tucker Carlson Videos; Media Watchdog Responds
Fox News parent Fox Corp. has sent a cease-and-desist order to Media Matters for America in an effort to stop leaked footage of Tucker Carlson, which shows the fired Fox News host making offensive and crude remarks. Media Matters The company claims the “proprietary material” was given to the media watchdog “without Fox’s authorization.”
... Media Matters President Angelo Carusone released the following statement to Deadline to “clarify any misunderstanding” after the organization received the letter.
“Reporting on newsworthy leaked material is a cornerstone of journalism. For Fox to argue otherwise is absurd and further dispels any pretense that they’re a news operation. Perhaps if I tell them that the footage came from a combination of WikiLeaks and Hunter Biden’s laptop, it will alleviate their concerns.”
Opps.Media Matters recently has published several videos of Carlson making offensive and crude remarks about women and complaining about the network. In one video, Carlson describes an unnamed woman as “yummy” and refers to his fans as “post-menopausal”....
Media Matters homepage: In the wake of the Faux Noise cease-and-desist letter the Tucker Carlson tapes are still on the Media Matters homepage. Hah!

Former DHS disinformation expert sues Fox News for defamation
An expert who once oversaw a Department of Homeland Security disinformation board filed a defamation suit Wednesday against Fox News, her lawyer said.
Nina Jankowicz said in the suit, filed in Delaware state court, that she was subjected to violent threats because of Fox News’ portrayal of her and her role, which included insults made on the network....

Abbott knocks Dominion over Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) bashed Dominion Voting Systems over the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News, following a report that the popular conservative primetime host was fired from the network as part of its settlement with the voting software company.
Carlson was told by a member of the network’s board of directors that he was taken off the air as part of the Fox News settlement with Dominion, according to Axios, which cited unidentified sources briefed on the conversations. Abbott said if the reporting was true, then he is “happy that Dominion does not operate in Texas.”
“We may disagree with other’s positions, but we should never try to improperly silence views contrary to our own,” Abbott said on Twitter on Saturday. “If Dominion wants to do business with Texas in the future, they should first answer questions about what role, if any, they played in silencing a prominent conservative journalist.”
A Fox News spokesperson in a statement to Axios said that the idea that Carlson was let go of as part of the settlement was “categorically false.” An attorney for Dominion also told the news outlet that it did not insist on Carlson being fired....

Laura Ingraham’s Brother Goes to War Against Her
INGRAHAM ANGLES
Curtis Ingraham wants people to know that his sister, the right-wing Fox News host Laura Ingraham, is the ultimate ‘hypocrite.’
Looks like it's unclear what's up with Laura's show:
Fox News Says Laura Ingraham Will Continue To Be A “Prominent Host And Integral Part” Of Network Lineup As Primetime Changes Are Considered — Update
Curtis seems pretty normal, it's Laura Ingraham that I'm not so sure about. "She" sure seems to overcompensate.

Harris Faulkner is a moronic chickenhawk asshole while Biden's son likely died as a consequence of his service.The problem is that even AFTER they listen to her tell them that it is a not a true story 75% of their viewers WON'T believe that, and still think the original story is true. They will concoct some story on their own as to why she said the original story was not true. Probably involving the deep state.
Conservatives are known for their intelligence.
They claim that they "had no idea" - they know exactly why. People on the far right want to stir up hate for illegal immigrants and dehumanize them. They keep the base fired up with hate and outrage. It's the whole Fox business model.
Well, I guess we didn’t have to wait long to see if the Dominion settlement would change Fox’s behavior. And is anyone surprised that the answer is no?
Excellent point.The Insurrection Party supports veterans only when convenient. Those, who believed this story, were outraged at immigrants, rather than being outraged that there are homeless veterans. Turn that fake outrage into action and demand that your representatives address the issue of homeless veterans!
