• Sarah Palin Shares Unbelievable Way Fox News Let Her Go - Is a Pattern Emerging?

  03-05-2023 23:59

  Obviously, Tucker Carlson was not the only person who was blindsided by his sudden termination last week, which was announced in a vague and sudden email.
  Carlson’s millions of fans were also suddenly left without a voice to speak for them in a world where the Washingto

• Text That Reportedly Led to Carlson's Firing Reveals Uncomfortable Truth About the Human Condition

  03-05-2023 23:27
  
  A leaked 2021 text message that reportedly led to Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox News is being used to portray him as a vile man and, of course, a racist.
  But like other leaks surrounding the former ratings juggernaut, it actually reveals an authenticity and insight that will only further endear him to his supporters.
  Carlson’s private text shows he is not immune from primal emotions, tribalism and feelings of hatred — but he is also capable of self-reflection and remorse.
