UH-OH: Fox News Cancels Lou Dobbs. Will Tucker Carlson Be Next? (Please!)

[BlueWavePsych]

As for Carlson's ratings, he is also currently the leader on Fox News, but with a similar business deficiency that makes his program expendable. Advertisers have abandoned his program due to the relentless racism and advocacy of violence. Most advertisers don't want their brands associated with such negative content.

Consequently, Carlson is left with lower-tier advertisers that aren't as discriminating. They include reverse mortgage lenders, dubious vitamin supplements, and gold coin peddlers. Forbes has reported that "According to iSpot, Tucker Carlson Tonight's biggest advertiser is My Pillow, which spent more than $40 million on spots during 2019 and 2020. That is about ten times as high as the show's next biggest advertiser and more than the next four sponsors' combined spending." And Mike Lindell, the conspiracy theory spewing CEO of MyPillow has problems of his own.

The insufferable bigotry and lies that are such a staple on most of Fox's programs culminated in a humiliating dismissal for Lou Dobbs. But others on the networks of Rupert Murdoch are no better. Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro regularly embarrass themselves with their drooling Trump worship. Sean Hannity Laura Ingraham, and the "Curvy Couch" potatoes of Fox and Friends, are veteran Trump-fluffers.

But no one outperforms Carlson for the sheer audacity of his falsehoods, drenched in the smug superiority of the white privilege that he denies exists. If anyone follows Dobbs out the door at Fox News, it should be Tucker Carlson. He's earned that dishonor, and it would be a shame to deprive him (and us) of it.

7. Unfortunately, it's believed Fox is doubling down on caustic-poison programming,

replacing news slots with additional Tucker-ish "opinionators" to woo back viewers. From what I've read, Barteromo, also named in the lawsuit, may be given the slot leading into Tucker's. I've managed to miss her so don't have an image of her product, but the phrase "white-hot anger" was used.

Umhm, who wouldn't be drawn by that soul-destroying lineup?

10. LET THE CANCEL CULTURE BEGIN!

Boycotting MyPillow not only puts the screws to Lindell, it also apparently will have the BONUS effect of taking Tucker off the air!
This link provides a nice list of stores that have dropped MyPillow, and which stores still carry.
