THE TUCKER FACTOR, IDEOLOGY & THE INSIDE SCOOP - PART II
ALLEGEDLY TUCKER CARLSON, ACCORDING TO FOX'S INTERNAL POLLS, DID NOT SERVE THE NATION, FOX'S INTERESTS, OR THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT
You were watching the magician, your eyes focused on the hand moving, not the one not moving.
The magic show’s message: Take Russia’s interest above America’s and Europe’s.
Tucker Carlson hated Donald Trump with all his might, and everyone at FOX knew it. He hated Trump because, the same as progressives, he was filled with ideology. Trump on the other hand is free of ideology.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!
THE $785 MILLION HIT FOX took, and my take OCT 12, 2022, details of which I had sent to FOX’s board, CEO Suzanne Scott, Hannity, Hilton, Levin and others, was hardly the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Tucker Factor’s implosion was decided months earlier as FOX’s lawyers gathered the evidence.
The sum of liabilities incurred by FOX and the American nation from Carlson and his armchair generals’ distortions of reality, the smug gasbags he invited to his show, way exceeded the financial benefits accruing to FOX’s shareholders.
The ledger has gone negative.
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!
Not content with the old-European-style Judeophobics already on his panels, Tucker also hired a gaggle of leftwing Jewish antisemites - which may suggest a clue about his own sentiments. Take Glenn Greenwald and Sy Hirsch!
Both have a record of America, Jew (and conservative) hatred going back at least two, if not three decades!
Both have had a multi-decades-long record of anti-Trump, Republican, Conservative, and America-derangement and sucking up to the Kremlin!
Do “conservative” hosts invite as regular guests and make heroes of leftwingers who hate America? Crackpots like RFK Jr. whose grandfather was a known Nazi sympathizer?
What I wrote in these pages earlier is now being confirmed by others in the conservative press. What I wrote pissed off every one of....
TUCKER CARLSON’S SCREWBALLS, CLOWNS, LEFTWINGERS, ANTISEMITES, & FAKE CONSERVATIVES - October 12, 2022

Thousands of good, but naive folk, literally ended their lives having taken the advice of the snake-oil salesmen Tucker invited to his show. For example, my famed conservative colleague and friend, the wonderfully-talented writer Tabitha Korol. She and her husband were vaccine hesitant. Five well-known conservative radio pundits who insisted that SARS-Cov2 didn’t exist, that people just don’t die from Covid, and that the vaccine was a conspiracy to make Pfizer wealthy, died from Covid - not the vaccine.
By giving away billions in medications gratis, Pfizer gets wealthy? Right.
For others, the Tucker Carlson Show confirmed pre-existing biases not anchored in facts: mRNA vaccines kill, the virus was harmless, the United States can do no good, Russia does everything good.
It ended with blood on Tucker & Co's and FOX's hands.
Late on the uptake, eventually FOX understood where the Tucker Factor’s entertainment turned into disinformation and ideological propaganda which then turned into tomfoolery, clownishness, and a serious deficit of seriousness, threatening the news network’s reputation.

In the middle of a war Tucker chose to cause harm to the Allies’ cause by taking up arms for Russia. Carlson only benefited the Napoleon-complex-afflicted Putin by contravening centuries-long standing American policy and the doctrines of presidents going back to Jefferson, JFK and Reagan. He rebroadcast the anti-American/anti-NATO propaganda, talking points, directed out of the Rossiya Segodnya agency.
These, from the FSB and GRU press offices, created a bottom line FOX could no longer ignore.
Tucker and Co. cynically ignored geopolitical realities and the immense harm to the war effort for which his “armchair generals” advocated.
Rossiya Segodnya's predecessor, "…RIA Novosti's history dates back to 24 June 1941, when by a resolution of the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Communist Party Central Committee, "On the Establishment and Tasks of the Soviet Information Bureau", the Soviet Information Bureau (Sovinformburo) was set up under the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee. Its main task was to oversee work to cover international, military events and the events of the country's domestic life in periodicals and on the radio (from 14 October 1941, to 3 March 1942, was based in Kuibyshev – modern-day Samara).[4]
The bureau's main task was to compile reports on the situation on the frontline of the war, work on the home front, and the partisan movement for radio, newspapers and magazines…" - WIKIPEDIA
Russia Today and Tucker Carlson have been on the same page.
The armchair generals on Tucker's show have warned us since February 2022 exactly what appears at Russia Today, that "Ukraine has already lost the war, Russia is ahead!"
As of 6 months ago:
Ukraine has Now Taken Back Over Half of Captured Territory
This week:
Ukraine attacked Russia's main naval base in Crimea
Ukrainian army 'crosses crucial Dnipro River for the first time'
ELITE CAPTURE includes the infiltration, kompromat, and capture of western media opinion makers and agencies.
I had covered these themes under the defector Yuri Bezmenov's photo in:
IS UKRAINE IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST?
Tucker had invested months into his fictional narratives. There was no backing out.
His mostly dark-minded, angry, smug, phony and arrogant armchair generals bloviated fictions about Ukraine. Sour grapes Covid conspiracy fruitcakes filled with ideology instead of facts did far more harm than good. Most of these folk did not understood geopolitics, genetics, biochemistry, epidemiology, statistics, how a virus does its damage or how vaccines work. These paranoids invented nonsense on the fly such as “natural immunity.”
“Natural Immunity?” Both the vaccine (either mRNA or deactivated virus) and a cough (with the DNA virus intact) infect a person “naturally.” The antibodies triggered from either vaccine or from infections in the air produce “natural immunity” the same exact, natural way.
AS FOR TUCKER'S ACCESS TO, AND FUTURE WITH, PRESIDENT TRUMP?
The same I predicted for "vaccine inventor" Robert Malone's future on Tucker’s show, the man who tried to take credit for inventions not his, months before he never appeared again:
CREDIT
Lastly, you’ve heard what other conservatives clueless about the herein think, that Tucker has a future with Glenn Beck, Daily Caller, and Megyn Kelly, for example?
BREITBART: CONSERVATIVES REACT TO TUCKER'S DEPARTURE
Beck's and Kelly's “future” is better represented by their past: meaning WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
Both had been given » this Trumpism « Truth by FOX’s chiefs!
Beck and Kelly never recovered or achieved their previous status or income. Both are minor players, insignificant figures fading away in an expanding conservative universe. The reason is:
