Fox News is preparing a major shake-up of its on-air talent in the wake of Tucker Carlson’s dismissal from the network.
According to sources quoted by The Drudge Report:
FOXNEWS preparing to announce ambitious new schedule, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, a schedule where every hour of primetime will change! TOP SOURCE: ‘IT’S OUR BOLDEST AND MOST FEARLESS LINE-UP EVER’…
Drudge eventually updated that headline to note Hannity’s new gig as well as report both Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would be heading to prime time, according to additional reports.
A Fox News spokesperson told Mediaite, “No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.”
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
Carlson was taken off the air last month. According to sources who spoke exclusively to Axios ealrier this month, however, the former Fox News host and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk had some discussions. And now, we know the subject matter behind those discussions: Bringing Tucker’s show to Twitter.
The former Fox News star made the announcement last week in a video posted to the platform.
“There aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world is Twitter,” Carlson said in his short monologue – in which he took a shot at Fox, saying, “If you bump up against the limits [in the news business] you will be fired for it.”
“The rule of what you can’t say defines everything,” he said, adding, “You can’t have a free society if people aren’t allowed to say what they think is true… There aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one… is Twitter, where we are now.”
“Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops,” he continued, noting further that other networks are “thinly disguised propaganda outlets.”
“You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter,” said Carlson. “The result may feel like a debate, but actually, the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works and we’re sick of it.”
