This is 100% a Tucker fan "leaking" made up bs to the hogs to feed into the Christian persecution complex. "The guy behind the controversial firing of a conservative pundit just hates prayer and hates God and hates anyone who says to pray to God." Come on.
There was a weird story about Murdoch breaking up with his latest mistress :bern-disgust: because she was too much into MAGA mysticism and specifically called Tucker a "Messenger From God"
From the article:
In late March, Carlson had dinner at Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard with Murdoch and Smith, according to the source. During dinner, Smith pulled out a bible and started reading passages from the Book of Exodus, the source said. “Rupert just sat there and stared,” the source said. A few days after the dinner, Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding.
Very funny even if untrue. I really hope Tucker was fired for pissing of a horny old ghoul.
Them sowing: lmao fuck yeah this rules
Them reaping: wtf this fucking sucks
Yeah, uh, this is the dumbest, least likely reason he was fired.
My take is he asked to be "fired" so he can run for office on anti-ownership class rhetoric. This is him on his "whoah I'm finally realizing the media works to protect power" new grift last month
The most inconsistent part of this is obviously that he's the most vocal face of the worst, most craven pro-bourgeoisie media apparatus in decades, so he asked to get canned.
What does Rupert think he runs? He's the top neocon propagandist for :aus-delenda-est: :ukkk: :amerikkka:
yeah and the right wing in the UK and Australia is pretty secular
The fact that we still don't know the official reason for his firing and every gossip item about it sounds totally unconvincing makes me think that the patsoc guys might be right, that it was because he's the only major media figure telling the truth about Ukraine and the deep state wanted him gone.
I don't really care why his gone. But he questioned pharma, which is like 70% of cable ads, and was fired like the next day.
It's pretty simple
He cost them money through Dominion. And than he went after a large chunk of the companies ad revenue.
Let's not make murdoch or to be a good guy here. There all fascist shit heads.
Hmmm could be plausible? Once you lead people into religion you hand over influential power to the cult leaders. Put yourself in the shoes of a media baron whose entire power is derived from being influential, do you want the influence you can exert through your media ownership to be shared with religious cult leaders? Absolutely not.
Spiritual shit is a competing influencer if you're a media baron. Yes you could bring on the cultists to spread cult shit on your network, but you end up increasingly being forced to do that to remain influential, you hand over more and mover power and influence to them.
I wouldn't rule it out as a factor. Doubt it's the entire thing, there's probably many contributing reasons.
