#FoxNews is feeling the effects of life without #TuckerCarlson. #FoxNewsTonight pulled in 1.7 million viewers with “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade - 47% below what “Tucker Carlson Tonight” delivered in the 8 p.m. ET hour a week earlier.

They'll get someone as conspiracy minded as Carlson to woo the audience back.

9. Disagree. Racists like to see a familiar face deliver their daily racism.

775 million reasons why the Fox may want to take a break in a deep burrow….and billions more reasons to come…

the crack addict might be able to put the pipe down a few days, but they'll come crawling back to whatever "slightly less racist" person that gets put in Fucker's place. the crack might not be as addictive but they'll smoke it none-the-less

5. So aprox a million Americans aren't satisfied by the level of BS at Faux without the over the top

Lies spread by tuckems? I suppose he’ll try to found his own show, with TFG and MTG as regular guests. I predict that will fail quickly, so I hope he does. While I’d love to see those pukes, especially TFG, locked up and penniless we make have to settle with all of them becoming laughing stocks. They already are for a sizable portion of America and much more so for the rest of the world.

10. don't worry about his income

he was making 15-20 million per year with Fox, probably got some sort of severance, and his estimated net worth is $30 million. If you have $30 million and blow it, you deserve your fate.

BTW, welcome to DU!
