    I wish I had any faith that this will actually hurt him and he won't just end up with a cushier deal at a worst network where he can say even more blatantly white nationalist things.

      Is any other right-wing news network big enough to give him a more lucrative deal than what he had at Fox? I've seen numbers of $6-8 million/year as his salary, which seems like it might be out of the price range from OANN.

        Good point, I have no idea how much money we're talking about here.

      O'Reilly pretty much disappeared after he was let go from Fox, it might be different for Tucker but it's unlikely to go better for him.

        O’Reilly had some blatant and credible SA cases come out they made him non grata

        We'll see, but honestly I thought I was going to die with Tucker on air continuing to be the most dangerous fash propagandist in media

        O'Reily did an internet show for a while which was hilariously pathetic. I guess he still owed people money.

      There's something to be said about these massive fraud cases I guess as an effective way of deplatforming from main stream outlets.

      This was nearly a billion dollars, and he's still facing another suit. It's made Jones basically blacklisted as well.

      I wouldn't be surprised to see Tucker on Infowars after this

      At the moment: I'd bet money on him running for office.

      Trump/Carlson 2024?

      i mean, he's prolly just gonna go the way of Falafel O'Reilly, the last guy to have that spot.
