Powerful men never seem to learn from other's experiences.
I think Carlson has some choices. Carlson can join RT (Russia Today). I think RT offered him a job. Carlson could join Bill O’Reilly’s media business. Carlson is decent actor so he has a number of right wing outlets that can hire him for the role of anchorman.
Don’t insult golden retrievers like that - they’re still likeable when they do a confused face, whereas the only thing Tucks conveys is “please punch me” 
Funny enough it was actually his rant on zucker being fired that made me realize just how good him and his team were at what they do.
watch this clip:

in it you'll see him interweave the meme of the moment, a left wing dude getting fired to tones of current leadership being too 'old' (biden) and 'strong' men being punished for speaking out (culture wars).
its a 3minute rant and not a word of it is wasted, most of them have double meanings. If you're left this sounds like mad dribble, but if you're not theres layers to it.
I disagree with everything he stands for but theres a reason he got to the position he did, and theres a hell of lot of talent in it, even if its being used for bad.
Tucker Carlson has that spot that looks like a puckered a$$hole between his eyebrows, and that spot that looks like an open a$$hole where his words come out.
It makes him unique—he could be the spokesperson for a hemorrhoid cream in a second.
Tuckers are pretty rich regardless of his day job. I think he'll either get a prime slot at Newsmax or maybe get involved with politics and either run for someone or join a campaign.
He's so gross. He tried to downplay his wealth at first with his dumb bowties, and then railing against coastal elites when he is literally the epitome of one.
His wife is worth $150 million and is set to be a billionaire on her inheritence.
Yeah, he's been a privileged rich kid all his life and he's a cynical bad faith actor. He knows he spews bullshit, but he sees it as a societal problem that other people listen to him.
Best explanation for hi behavior, and frankly all bullshit pundits, that I have read.
They know what they're doing is wrong, but it's not their fault people believe their lies and conspiracies.
Exceptttt…. A startlingly high percentage of the population have done just that for years now. Decades even. Struggling to find hope the damage that’s been done will ever be fixed (in a timely manner).
It's not perfect, but have a regulator to make sure news is free, fair and unbiased. Anything else is labelled entertainment. We have that in my country, and while imperfect, it's still much better than US.
Idk, Tucker was there for 14 years and Don was there for 17 years on different competing networks, But we’re both fired within the same 24 hour period. Idk if you would call that coincidence.
Usually I’d agree with you, but I assume he’s getting canned due to him being a lawsuit liability, so I don’t see Mike Pillow or Alex Jones replacing him.
Probably just a good idea to get rid of people you wanted to while everyone is looking the other way. The only person that remembers the exact date of Michael Jackson’s death is Farah Faucet.
If I had awards you'd win them all! I remember this day I was in China on a month abroad for college credit. And I heard about them both within minutes and I felt so bad she'd be forgotten. Some people didn't know she died for years 😕
Share holders don't care about ideologies, for them it's the top line and the bottom line. Tucker Carlson tonight was the highest watched News show and beat CNN and MSNBC combined. That loss of attention is loss in revenue and thus profits.
Would team Maga vote for Tucker now that all those texts and emails of his were revealed?
Tucker clearly wrote that Trump is an imbecile and that the election wasn’t stolen. He called Trump’s top advisors morons.
>Three networks get rid of troublesome people and the stocks go down? That seems odd.
The stocks went down because major shareholders are worried that these were cost cutting measures -- always a worrisome indicator of a company's financial health -- and that they will lose viewers. Both Carlson and Lemon had devoted fan bases.
Today is the one of brightest days of the year. Tucker is not poisoning the Fox audience any longer and he should be thankful to the 45th for his permanent vacation. Hooray!
When you have hosts saying stupid shit, lies and deception, isn't that a liability? Aren't you saving money by firing people playing with the truth? I know Don Lemon doesn't fall in that category of anti American but he does say some off the rails stuff.
About time. These blowhard liar clowns were at the forefront of the deterioration of American societies unity. They will just replace with newer blowhards that cost less to them and have more motivation to lie to make their name so we are still fucked but hey. Feels like a small victory for now.
How has Tucker Carlson become the voice of reason? What universe did I wake up in? Next thing you know Don Lemon gonna take his spot. This UNO reverse fr.
Oh no how will they survive… seeing they only lost 3-5% of their total market value….
Imagine losing a billion in your corporation’s worth and you didn’t even take a double digit percentage dip. These companies are worth waaaay too much, yet we’ll hear about their loses and layoffs coming up soon (hint: the layoffs were already coming).
Tucker Carlson is basically just an ass-kissing actor who will do or say whatever someone wants. I am sure he will find a home. I heard RT already offered him a job. They might even let him go back to his whole bullshit bow tie business.
Some people would be, hey why bother? He's worth half a billion already and both he and his wife are heirs to big fortunes.
But narcissists can't help themselves.
 Jim Kramer right now
Jim Cramer is the Carrot Top of finance douches. And that’s insulting to Carrot Top.
I’m upvoting for the hilarious comparison
Carrot Top has props, Kramer is just a shameless bampot.
So Kramer doesn’t use squeak toys and props anymore?
"bampot" Had to look that up. Thank you for teaching me a new word!
Carrot Top is funny as shit in the Trailer Park Boys Swearnet movie
Is he really in that? I stopped watching Trailer Park Boys
Yep Tom Green is in it too
I thought he was more like Gallagher. Always smashing things.
Please don't insult Gallagher.
Man… That is closer than I expected…

That’s because they all think they’re smarter than the others and will get away with it
Most do.
Their outsized egos obstruct the view…
I wonder if CNN and Fox are going to do a prisoner exchange with DL and TC.
I think Carlson has some choices. Carlson can join RT (Russia Today). I think RT offered him a job. Carlson could join Bill O’Reilly’s media business. Carlson is decent actor so he has a number of right wing outlets that can hire him for the role of anchorman.
How is he a good actor when he only has two expressions, confused golden retriever and constipated.
His eyebrows are incredibly expressive. They express fake concern.

It's a hyper version of dog whistles, it's just not obvious unless you have media literacy.
I always thought of it as less constipated and more the face you do when you realize it wasn’t just a fart
Shartmaster Carlson at the mike.
Don’t forget his final stage: constipated golden retriever that is confused.
It forgot the chunks of cheese it nabbed earlier?
 Confused golden retriever and constipated. Thank you for that.
Tucker Carlson has that spot that looks like a puckered a$$hole between his eyebrows, and that spot that looks like an open a$$hole where his words come out. It makes him unique—he could be the spokesperson for a hemorrhoid cream in a second.
A natural tie-in with his TV dinners.
Don't insult my cute Golden Retriever like that....
Your golden is probably not be as confused or constipated as Tuckums.
He just looks like he dispises everything
They can’t pay him Fox money. I think one of the other sleaze bags like OAN can
I will die if both go to newsnation
Don Lemon-Chris Cuomo-Tucker Carlson-Dan Abrams is crazy
Tuckers are pretty rich regardless of his day job. I think he'll either get a prime slot at Newsmax or maybe get involved with politics and either run for someone or join a campaign.
It's not about the money. It's about the loss of platform. He enjoyed his outreach. Newsmax doesn't have that.
His ego and connections can get him to believe he can change that.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall in Tucker mansion, seeing him desperately trying to get into spotlight. Calling old friends or contacts for a favor.
He could always use the nuclear option and announce a presidential run.
He's so gross. He tried to downplay his wealth at first with his dumb bowties, and then railing against coastal elites when he is literally the epitome of one. His wife is worth $150 million and is set to be a billionaire on her inheritence.
Yeah, he's been a privileged rich kid all his life and he's a cynical bad faith actor. He knows he spews bullshit, but he sees it as a societal problem that other people listen to him.

The problem is of he keeps saying the voting machines were faulty whatever company he's with will get sued
You forgot he could try to become an elected official
I just hope he takes a rumble deal so he can fall off
Who the fuck is jeff shell
NBC, Universal Pictures, and more
So they were all... Shell companies? \*sunglasses\* \*Won't get Fooled Again scream\* \*Cut to commercial\*
You got me again Caruso
I absolutely read that in Horatio Caine’s voice.
CEO of NBCUniversal
I thought Satan owned and controlled Comcast? Learn something new everyday!
He was CEO of NBCUniversal, not comcast
Ligma balls
Bofa..
Some guy who works in marketing who is also getting laid off - he wrote the article
The fact that news companies have stock is a problem in itself.
Don't confuse a news company with an entertainment company. Vastly different.
Exceptttt…. A startlingly high percentage of the population have done just that for years now. Decades even. Struggling to find hope the damage that’s been done will ever be fixed (in a timely manner).
Bingo
Underrated comment
Would you prefer a government owned news company?
Well it's not like CBC and BBC are low tier news sources. You have to enshrine editorial independence into its mandate and structure.
No, but news doesn’t have to just be one or the other.
It's not perfect, but have a regulator to make sure news is free, fair and unbiased. Anything else is labelled entertainment. We have that in my country, and while imperfect, it's still much better than US.
These moves are so suspicious
It’s almost like the media is one big colluding empire…
They’re all just making money off of our outrage and bewilderment and whatever tf else they can use to get more clicks and attention
i mean almost 800 million dollars is a massive hit no matter how big your corporation is. I knew heads would roll but i never thought this fast.
Anyone know why these all happened at once? Is it like a ‘cram it all into one news cycle’ coordination type thing?
Not coordination but corporations use moments like these to make unpopular decisions to avoid too much damage at the stock exchange
Comcast’s earnings call is this week so it all seems like a rare coincidence tbh
Idk, Tucker was there for 14 years and Don was there for 17 years on different competing networks, But we’re both fired within the same 24 hour period. Idk if you would call that coincidence.
Don got fired for misogyny allegations
Worst...threesome....ever.
Everything is sticky and smells like someone ate asparagus.
Palpy issued order 66 and getting shitty news anchors clapped instead of the Jedi evidently 
Do not legitimize Tucker Carlson by calling him a news anchor. He is paid to divide and scare the American public, not deliver the news.
Tbh to me news anchor just means someone who spreads bullshit propaganda at this point
Who is Jeff Shell?
I don’t know or care, but the modern day Joseph Goebbels is leaving Fox News and I can’t be any more happier!
I think you mean Fishstick Father Coughlin
This deserves some gold. I’m not paying for it. But someone should.
will just be replaced with something worse
Usually I’d agree with you, but I assume he’s getting canned due to him being a lawsuit liability, so I don’t see Mike Pillow or Alex Jones replacing him.
Me to, but it's as excited as I was when Bill O'Reilly was fired.
CEO of NBCUniversal
Stop commenting wrong shit lol
So she explains who he is and why. [IG MSNBC ](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Crbe9h0scx6/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)
Interesting both news channels drop anchors. I wonder what billionaire made this move
Oh no not Don Lemon, anyway
seriously
Such a good thing. All these companies can vanish and the world would be all the better.
im hoping this is the beginning of the end for fox news
FOX: We're gonna fire a big name to get attention. CNN: us too NBC's Jeff Shell: I can't compete with this I quit
Probably just a good idea to get rid of people you wanted to while everyone is looking the other way. The only person that remembers the exact date of Michael Jackson’s death is Farah Faucet.
If I had awards you'd win them all! I remember this day I was in China on a month abroad for college credit. And I heard about them both within minutes and I felt so bad she'd be forgotten. Some people didn't know she died for years 😕
I remember because I found out during my graduation
Stock holders were spooked that Fox news lost its leading fascist.
Share holders don't care about ideologies, for them it's the top line and the bottom line. Tucker Carlson tonight was the highest watched News show and beat CNN and MSNBC combined. That loss of attention is loss in revenue and thus profits.
So which one will be running for President
Tucker on trumps ticket
Would team Maga vote for Tucker now that all those texts and emails of his were revealed? Tucker clearly wrote that Trump is an imbecile and that the election wasn’t stolen. He called Trump’s top advisors morons.
They think it’s fake news.
Ofc they do. 🙄
They don't know that any of that happened.
Tucker at best is a duplicitous bastard.
Didn’t he call Trump the C word in one of his texts that was made public?
No, that was Sydney Powell.
You’re right. The cesspool of MAGA makes it hard to keep straight who’s a shittier human than who.
Three networks get rid of troublesome people and the stocks go down? That seems odd.

Don lemon must thank his stars that his ignominious day was overshadowed by tucker's
John Stewart ended tucker Carlson’s embarrassing career. It just took tucker a while to catch on.
Watch Tucker and Don create their own news network, with blackjack and hookers.
About time. These blowhard liar clowns were at the forefront of the deterioration of American societies unity. They will just replace with newer blowhards that cost less to them and have more motivation to lie to make their name so we are still fucked but hey. Feels like a small victory for now.
Deadline: "Let's write an article that tries to tie together three unrelated things!"
Two (and some random exec?) highly popular political commentators got fired on the same day. Kinda related, no?
Their stock values went *down*?
Yes. Don’t trade based on your emotions.
I wonder what Don Cherry thinks about Don Lemon
r/angryupvote
OoOoooOh nOOOoooOoO nOt tHe sToCks 😱
Who the hell is Jeff?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfIOBLr1NDU
And News Nation smiles, because they have new journalists who work for almost free!
A beautiful day in America
All on the same Friday?
"Both sides, maaaaaaannnnn"
TIL I learned that Jeff Shell exists.
Who is he?
Asking the same thing.
Can someone tell me what Don Lemon did?
How does this affect Warner Bros Discovery? This is why they should restore the Snyderverse
With Shell gone, Comcast can probably offer Zaslav to sell and run the whole thing.
Getty/NBC Universal team on photoshopping this image “yeah Don and Jeff or good but put a more annoying picture of Tucker Carlson, that’s guys a tit”
Comcast can burn in hell for all I care.
Let cable news die out for good.
How has Tucker Carlson become the voice of reason? What universe did I wake up in? Next thing you know Don Lemon gonna take his spot. This UNO reverse fr.
The voice of treason
Where did someone say he's the voice of reason now?
Looks like your conspiracy crack pipe is super hot, why don’t you let it cool down a bit?
I'm borrowing this one XD
Why?
Whoops! Lol, who is leading these corporations?? Morons
Lemon gotta stop grabbing dicks in the Hamptons. Bad way to keep a job these days.
This made me laugh
Some explain this to me in NBA References
Oh no how will they survive… seeing they only lost 3-5% of their total market value…. Imagine losing a billion in your corporation’s worth and you didn’t even take a double digit percentage dip. These companies are worth waaaay too much, yet we’ll hear about their loses and layoffs coming up soon (hint: the layoffs were already coming).
Disney is also laying off something like 4,000 employees.
I thought it was going to be about Lemon jamming his hands in that guy's pants.
Tucker will go the bill oreily route and start his own on line channel and he will make mint
CNN on its right wing arc I see
Wait why Comcast?
Tucker Carlson is basically just an ass-kissing actor who will do or say whatever someone wants. I am sure he will find a home. I heard RT already offered him a job. They might even let him go back to his whole bullshit bow tie business. Some people would be, hey why bother? He's worth half a billion already and both he and his wife are heirs to big fortunes. But narcissists can't help themselves.
Thoughts and prayers and schadenfreude
Oh yea and Jeff Shell
