The Alt-Right

Any indication as to the possible reason for him being given the sack? I don't know the guy, and the article is strangely unforthcoming about such details.

CNN morning anchor. He's credibly been accused of sexual harassment. There was also a man that accused him of sexual assault, but it was dropped. He's been on his way out for at least six months.

Didn’t get called out on the Morning Show for saying something about a female politician being “passed her prime” ?
 
The right will be delighted to see DL go, he seems to have been a focal point for some of them for ages. Specifically, for being black, gay and an outspoken critic of Trump/racism.

Was not aware of the allegations, tbh.
 
Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer, who had previously been booted off Twitter, was part of Musk's mass reinstatement in December.

Like a lot of the alt and far right Anglin held Musk in contempt

but he sought to play by Musk's rules and use the platform to promote his activities and to troll.

But then yesterday he finally fell foul of the 'absolutism' part of Musk's regime of 'free speech absolutism'.

I've got a feeling that after the case, Rupert Murdoch has rolled-up his sleeves and got back to work. For some time now, he has left the running of Fox and his other US media interests largely to his son Lachlan, who may have a much bigger role in all this than previously considered?

For all his being an odious cunt, Murdoch Snr is an old-school newshound who knows the news media/reporting landscape very well, not an "entertainment mogul" and if you can remember how he instigated waves of sackings in his UK media titles/outlets in the 1980s, he doesn't mess around much with reasons - if he wanted you out, you were gone, fast!
 
i've seen two plausible explanations for the disgusting Carlson's firing
www.latimes.com

Tucker Carlson departs Fox News, pushed out by Rupert Murdoch

Tucker Carlson's last program was Friday, Fox News said. His ouster is probably related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer.
www.latimes.com www.latimes.com
gist: the lawsuit by his former assistant about bullying; carlson's coverage of January 6th and in particular targeting an innocent guy named Ray Epps as an FBI provocateur. But it isn't dominion: Carlson’s ouster was not part of the $787.5-million settlement Fox News agreed to pay to Dominion last week, according to a representative for Dominion.

fox is re-negotiating its cable fee and wants to appear "responsible"

Tucker has left the building

On Monday morning, Tucker Carlson, the nation's most watched cable TV host, was unceremoniously sent packing by Fox News.
popular.info popular.info
The reality of Fox News' relationship with Carlson — and the conduct they were willing to not only ignore but defend — is important. Fox News is entering a critical time renegotiating its fees with cable companies. It is likely to argue that Carlson's firing is a signal that the network is becoming more responsible and, therefore, more attractive to advertisers.

Fox News currently charges about $2.18 per subscriber, higher than any other non-sports channel. Vanity Fair reports that Fox News is trying to push that number much higher to over $3.

You might imagine the far right would be grateful to Tucker Carlson for bringing some of their ideas into the 'public conversation'. Think again.

Nick Fuentes of America First, far right influencer and propagandist, on his Telegram channel:

Tucker Carlson has argued against White Identity politics explicitly, forcefully and frequently enough to convince me that he is sincere. He never talks about Christianity and he’s less socially conservative than any personality at Daily Wire, he shills the UFO psyop and plays up antagonism with China. He describes his vision as a "colorblind meritocracy," which sounds a lot like neoliberalism. He's not a "Never" Trumper but he's clearly not a supporter. So what is this "soft redpilling" or "pipeline effect" that people refer to? How much are we really getting out of his advocacy compared to a standard conservative, or Yoram Hazony for that matter — how great is the difference?

(...)
Tucker is of the same ilk as DeSantis, he is a compromise between the rebellious Trump supporters and the establishment. And that's really his purpose, to mediate this uprising on behalf of the system.
He doesn't fundamentally oppose the system or the status quo at all, his show offers nothing other than a sniggering, cynical "critique" of its efficacy. To play up white grievances but demonize white consciousness – this man is not a radical. He is there to ameliorate our demands.

People keep finding clever arguments for why we have to support feds and Israeli spies that are never expected to deliver anything.

If the entire conservative "commentariat" disappeared tomorrow, very little would change. I see no evidence that anyone in that space is making anyone even slightly more conservative.

In fact, the only time you see hardcore Right Wing guys that could be meaningfully differentiated from an average conservative, they're fans of my show. I don't see any young people that got "radicalized" by Tucker or Bannon, ever. And I get shit on or ignored by the same people that praise Tucker- "MUST WATCH MONOLOGUE!"

Tucker is of the same ilk as DeSantis, he is a compromise between the rebellious Trump supporters and the establishment. And that's really his purpose, to mediate this uprising on behalf of the system.

And as far as dismissing his horrendous remarks that betray his fundamental disagreement with us – he has probably said something of any consequence in our favor an equal or fewer number of times.

"So what [if] he constantly demonizes White racial consciousness, remember two years ago when he did one monologue on the ADL?" Yeah and it was a whole lot of anti-China and "Biden farted" in between.

Like even Tate is more based than Tucker because he actually pushes religion and attacks the systems legitimacy by memeing the idea of "the matrix." Seriously name one thing Tucker is more based on than Tate, and Tate isn't even political.

He concludes by comparing Carlson with Andrew Tate:

Doesn't surprise me at all. The far-right has robbed a lot of critiques about Establishment co-option of radicalism off the far-left because they're manifestly part of how the system works to maintain the status quo. He's identifying a real function that Tucker has played, creating a mass-savvy version of their madness that can be sold for a lot of money. Given that's all part of a long tilt which has massively benefited his side over the years Fuentes could probably stand to be a bit less whiny about it, but then again people like him make their bread off being the uncompromising purists to Tucker's weak brew, and he has no real cause for loyalty, so aggressive denunciations only help his persona.
 
Right wing Americans over here are pretending they're overjoyed he's left Fox (the network they supported all their lives until TC got fired) because he can now say "whatever he likes, free from the constraints of mainstream media".
