This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up…. Context and some details matter.
First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch. He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount. Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement. They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired.
(Via WSJ) – Mr. Carlson, whose contract was renewed in 2021, will be paid out for the rest of his contract, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Carlson is paid about $20 million a year, one of the people said. Mr. Carlson found out he was being let go about 10 minutes before the network announced his departure, the people said. (link)
For financial context, remember Rupert Murdoch paid Megyn Kelly $15 million (Via Harper Collins) for the 2015/2016 operation against Donald Trump. Paying $60 to $100 million to get rid of Carlson’s antagonistic voice is small money to Murdoch Inc. in the grand scheme of things. [Murdoch has also paid for Ron DeSantis to oppose Trump]
Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture. Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints. Keep all of that in mind.
Prior to 2021, Tucker Carlson was what you might call a Fox News loyalist. He was very loyal to the organization. During the COVID-19 era, Tucker Carlson moved his physical location away from Washington DC to his home in Maine. Fox built him a studio, and Carlson manifest his own destiny free from most production constraints.
Over the past 18+/- months, viewers have watched Tucker Carlson essentially red pill himself each evening. As he enjoyed the proximity freedom far away from the Eye of Sauron (DC’s control mechanism), Carlson’s eyes opened further to the reality of the situation that blankets our national consciousness.
Disconnected from the machine, free-range in his abilities, and with the intellectual curiosity of the average person, Tucker Carlson started to see the U.S. system as it is, not as media pretend it to be. This is the increasing red pill absorption you have noted daily. Along with that came a more pragmatic and brutally honest production quality to the content he shared.
Carlson’s influence grew as the audience grew; the more truth he spoke, the larger the audience. That free-range influence became a liability to the system operators that hold power, including Rupert Murdoch who is a part of that control system. In essence, and in the big picture, that’s what led to this event today.
Timing and Fox Digital. Fox had just settled a lawsuit with Dominion Systems that has been widely reported. The decision to fire Carlson had only one aspect connected to the Dominion settlement, financial timing.
Fox Corp is going to take a big hit in second quarter (Q2) earnings as part of the Dominion settlement. If you are going to take a big financial hit, it’s better to go ahead and clear the decks of all financial hits at the same time.
Paying out Carlson simply gets all the big hits in the same quarter.
Digital is where the action is. Digital subscriber services is where the future of all content is focused. Understanding this reality gives you a scale of the darkness in the opposition elements facing our nation. Fox News digital is Fox Nation. Tucker Carlson and the show Tucker Carlson Today was the anchor of Fox Nation digital.
Fox Nation was struggling prior to Tucker Carlson’s long show broadcasts. The entire Fox Corp digital streaming service, Fox Nation, was anchored around the Tucker Carlson Today digital streaming service. Fox News has just torpedoed their anchor, shot their lead dog, destroyed the digital brand. That gives you some scale and scope to how the elements viewed the threat of influence that Tucker Carlson had become.
Fox Corp, and Murdoch’s stenographers at the Wall Street Journal (SEE HERE), will try to frame the Carlson firing as something of a palate cleansing. Claims of adversarial viewpoints, controversial views and conflicts with other Fox loyalists on the inside, will be used to frame the narrative. However, all of those false frameworks are just that, false. The source of the issue that led to the firing was 100% ideological.
During Tucker’s red pill absorption phase, he changed views on a variety of subjects from the FBI to the Fourth Branch of Government, to vaccination and COVID-19, to his views on Donald Trump as a disruption to an increasingly admitted corrupt political machine.
Context in the Tucker worldview expanded and he began to frame the conflict in a big picture of Good -vs- Evil. Unfortunately for Carlson, this view was from inside a multinational corporate system spreading the darkness. He had to be removed.
This is the reality of the situation as it unfolded. Accept it or not, it matters not. This is the Carlson reality.
Carlson was connecting the dots of manipulation beyond media, beyond social battles and constructs, and into the realm of finance, economics and ultimately behind the Potemkin Village of UniParty politics. Blackrock has an increased stake in Fox Corp.
Talking about what happens behind the false front of the DC village is always a threat. It is in the research and acceptance of the darkest pretending constructs that you realize how the illusions of choice are presented.
Tucker Carlson was no longer selling the illusions.
There are trillions at stake.
He was removed.
Tucker is free.
Welcome to the rebellion my friend!
An interesting take today from the gentlemen of The Duran on the motive behind the Tucker Carlson firing: https://rumble.com/v2kev42-biden-harris-2024.-fox-news-fires-tucker-carlson.html
Truthfully, I’m surprised they waited this long to do this…
Accidents seem to flourish in the DC sphere of influence. Tucker is a growing thorn in their paw. THEY will only tolerate it so long.
Thanks Sundance
☘️
So
He’s normal !
Good guy. .
You are too sir .
Thanks for what you do Sundance
Wow, I understand It takes a lot of guts and humility to state this and just confirms why I believed which is Tucker transformed.
Remember when Sundance asked when and what red pilled us!?
I would love to hear in more detail what information or perhaps people really impacted Tucker to the point he took them all on.
In my eyes Tucker’s atonement is not necessary because right now in the climate this country is in to have his awakening in front of millions is so much more impactful!
Tucker has exposed and confirmed all those that remain in MSM are scum.
Since digital is the future their jobs are on life support anyway.
I suspect Murdoch would yank all of fox News to keep trump out. The derangement runs deep in the swamp
“45.74MM shares of Fox Corporation. This represents 15.1% of the company. Enough Corporate Holding to have Tucker Carlson Deplatformed”
If Fox survived O’Reilly leaving, unfortunately, they’ll survive this! It makes my blood boil, that they accept lies being told, but not the truth!
Tucker is -1000x better than O’reilly. Fox is dead
Bingo! You are correct. Fox is now going to descend to the sub-strata of habitual channel selection. Left onstage are the yelpers of no consequence. A loud voice was heard from within the Trojan Horse of entertainment/news…and it had to be silenced.
That was a different era. Back then most conservatives were brainwashed to worship rinos and fox news. Now most of us know that fox and the rinos are evil. Tucker was keeping fox afloat. Reily was no where as important as Tucker was.
Like a kid learning to read. It glorious to witness the light bulb turn on.
Faux had to be pretty desperate to fire their mealticket, even if he did come out for marriage rights for sodomites and lesbians. (They got the same rights as everybody else, not just special rights to redefine marriage.)
And Murdoch paid RDS to run against Ronald Grump?
Well, Me First/Make Javanka Great Again maybe ain’t the best thing to run on. Gotta expect some push back.
Not to mention DT sucking up to the Log Cabin Repugs recently at Mar Lago.
Long story short, if people expect princes and politicians to fix the mess we’re in, it ain’t gonna happen.
cheers,
Does anyone believe Ruport Murdock can be trusted? In the near future, there will be rich people controlling the rest of the population. Where ever you are born that is where you will live. What the hunger games or read our History if you can still find it. The transformation is almost complete. Own the government and control the elections, Own the media to control what people hear, control education so you can’t hear what’s really going on, Take away free speech, turn the country insane with hatred, and use that to get the guns. When you can’t defend yourself they have you as slaves to do their work. You get the shaft and they control the world. If you voted Democrat you will get your wish. They offered you just enough money to get on their plantation. I’m old and will not live this long. Thanks for selling your children into slavery.
Tucker should go on the Golden EIB microphone. He may be capable of filling the empty shoes of the Great Maharushi. The guy filling that precious slot is not worthy, not even close.
My thoughts exactly
Blackrock has 10s of millions of shares in Dominion and has 10s of millions of Fox stock, that is, News Corp.
Huh. No NDA, no Non Compete. Tucker grew up knowing attorneys.
Heard tell, not confirmed, Tucker inherited big millions through his mother and her share in Swanson Frozen Dinners.
Sort of fun. Oh, to inherit the fortunes from products, the Chia Pet family fortune, the Clapper family fortune, and of course, if a child of George named George, the George Foreman Grill family fortune.
I’m waiting to see Tucker on the Alex Jones show. And regardless of what you think of Jones he has been way ahead of the curve. Like they say – “Alex Jones was right.”
I would love to see more heavyweight anchors do a “sick out” & leave them with a roster of unknowns. Tucker & like minded hosts start their own TRUTHSPEAK STREAMING SHOWS!
