BUD LITE: “I KNOW HOW TO DESTROY A WHOLE COMPANY.”
FOX NEWS: “HOLD MY BEER!”
Boys and girls once again we are witnessing successful conservatives shooting themselves in their collective foot. Though the news doesn’t seem to have reached our three amigos at Bill Whittle dot com, Fox News just gave away it’s cash cow, having “parted ways” with its news superstar, Tucker Carlson after surrendering to Dominion Voting Machines for 3/4 of a billion dollars and also refusing to pay Dan Bongino what he’s worth.
What is it about conservatives that we fracture into insular subgroups and snipe at one another from behind rocks. What are we, Pharisees tearing at each other over the smallest deviation from perceived orthodoxy? Are we Sadducees preaching the gospel of “When you’re dead that’s all she wrote so godliness is determined by how much money you make.” Are we Scribes – bureaucrats of the Temple of Conservatism, writing down everything to the vast confusion of the laity?
What I hope is that Fox had to pay Tucker through the nose to break him out of his contract and that Carlson can, as Rush Limbaugh did in his time, inspire a wave of collegiality and courage among fellow conservatives. Perhaps those news people and commentators among us could band together and create some kind of Conservative version of Netflix that incorporates Daily Wire, The Blaze, Bill Whittle, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, Dan Bongino, Mark Levin, Greg Gutfield and refugees from Fox. Hannity, Ingram, and company are going to suffer from the absent lead-in of Tucker Carson.
I wish we could create a combination conservative entertainment and news network that brings all the best conservative content together under a single paywall. Tucker Carlson would bring enough of a following with him to jump start a conservative version of Netflix or Amazon Prime or something like that. Add on some of the more family oriented entertainment networks like Hallmark, Pureflix, Angel Studios and such and such a streaming service would bury the mainstream media in no time.
Ronald Reagan said that anybody that agrees with you 80% is a friend and ally. If conservatives took that advice to heart, we’d be unstoppable. As it is Revelation talks of an “image to the beast”. It’s beginning to look like the United States is working on carving out that image in support of a globalist socialist scheme.
To paraphrase Dylan Thomas, we must not go gentle into that rotten night. We must rage against the dying of the light that has for 2 and 1/2 centuries shined as a beacon of hope in a world ravaged by evil and hopelessness.

One reply on “Fox News Commits Ritual Suicide”
Ever since the 2020 election, I’ve quit watching Fox News on a daily basis. I’d watch you-tube on TV just to see the basics of what was happening in this country and to watch Gutfeld’s monologue every night. What I was seeing was making me even angrier than the rigged election, 81 million votes my ass.
I’d watch Tucker’s monologue most nights, depending on how depressed I was on that day. Fox’s caving in to the rest of the establishment makes me sick, and upon hearing last night that the decision was made because he refused to change the story he was going to talk about on Monday night sealed their fate.
This was a huge mistake that they’re going to regret. I will never watch anything on that network for the rest of my life, just like I swore off watching ESPN when the NFL stuck its nose into politics. I haven’t watched anything on ESPN for years, and to be honest, I don’t miss it one bit.
I’d love to see Tucker on another channel like the Daily Wire or even the Blaze, and if that happens, maybe a few other people like Gutfeld can tell Fox where to shove their jobs.
Fuck Fox News.
