There’s hella theories floating around about the reason behind Tucker Carlson’s sudden divorce with Fox News, but there’s one that I love the most.
Its the sexiest, pettiest, most delicious bullshit to ever be conceived. Behold:
We know for a fact that Tucker got bitch slapped across New York City by Rupert Murdoch himself. Not only that, but baby boy was laid off sometime on Friday and notified only on Monday, when he came to work. So, this unforeseen development was like a kick in the balls. For the uninitiated, Rupert Murdoch is the name of the demonic entity responsible for the creation of Fox News.
Tuckerson and Rupert had a special relationship. According to Tucker himself, the now ex-host was “100% [Rupert’s] bitch” (we love a proud sugar baby). Tucker was basically a glorified court jester - he cosplayed for daddy Rupert as a pro-worker, anti-elitist, anti-establishment, Christian, relatable everyman that broke republicans could relate to. That was, of course, a load of horseshit. As said by Tucker himself.
You see, back in Mesozoic Era (circa 2008-2011), our boy was an active participant in shock radio programs where he paraded himself as an open and proud elitist and a self-admitted trust fund baby.
All of this deliciousness speaks for itself. Tucker Carlson is a chameleon that changes his face depending on what’s resonating best with his conservative audience. Which brings us to the nearly orgasmic culmination of events that could have possibly led to Tucker’s current unemployment.
Tuck roleplayed as a hardcore Christian for quite some time. On that fateful Friday night, he turned it up to 100 for his speech at the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala. Bubba was popping off, calling abortions “child sacrifices” and demanding daily prayers. The audience loved it. Rupert? Not so much.
The thing is, for Rupert business comes before fascism. Grandpa worships money, Jesus is merely a profitable business strategy. For a businessman, the rabid fundie shit was already incredibly off-putting. And Tucker’s villain monologue just happened to be the last drop in the bucket that was already filled to the brim by Murdoch’s ex. That’s right. The chair of Fox News broke off his recent engagement because his fiancée was a Jesus freak.
Now onto the good shit. Rupert’s ex had a favorite show. Guess what that show was?
Tucker Carlson Tonight
The woman in question even had tête-à-tête chit chats with her favorite TV personality, thanks to her connection to Fox News CEO.
Tensions were rising in the Murdoch household. The ex-fiancée’s obsession with Tucker only added fuel to the fire. The woman went as far as declaring that Carlson was a messenger from God. One day, Tucker had a dinner at his boss’ estate. In the middle of dinner the Jesus lady pulled out a Bible and began discussing the book of Exodus with Carlson.
Rupert just sat there like 👁️👄👁️
In the end, the man was too freaked out by Christian fundamentalism and kicked Tucker out after his particularly awful speech. It was also a cute little fuck you to his ex cause now her favorite show got canceled
This is just one theory, but it’s my favorite, so I prefer it above all else, and now you get to experience this beauty with me
God, I adore American politics

i’m genuinely not even for removing all Problematic content from ao3 for a variety of mainly logistical reasons (people will keep making it and just wont tag it like how people still have porn blogs on here that are easy to accidentally find, how do you make the distinction between for example sexualized/romanticized abuse and abuse for plot or character purposes, who decides where that line is drawn, how is it enforced, etc) which is why it is so frustrating to me when people immediately jump to comparing this issue to irl efforts to censor lgbt people out of existence because they are not even remotely comparable and comparing them delegitimizes the fact that libraries and schools being targeted does lasting tangible damage beyond you just having to find a different place to post your fanfic. this is not an evangelical conservative reactionary culture war, this is people (largely queer, largely active in fandoms) having a difference of opinion in what keeps vulnerable people (minors, abuse survivors, etc) safe. grow the fuck up.

man it sucks how authoritarian and evil chinas covid response is. im so lucky i live in a Good Democracy like the uk where they didnt authoritarianly deprive me of my right to leave my house because the government isnt evil tankie dictators. its absolutely worth the 200,000 human lives our lack of a covid response cost us. if we'd kept the death toll to a tiny fraction of that in a much larger country but at the cost of me not being able to leave my house to cough on strangers whenever i felt like it unconditionally id be so ufcking mad and want regime change at once. btw

But he doesn’t have to change his pronouns, name, manner of dress, or how anyone refers to him, because those are all things that (most) trans advocates breathlessly insist are not actually required to be trans. It’s literally just saying the phrase “I am a woman” that is the party line, please let me know if you disagree with that. And as for “nobody will actually do this”, please google the phrase “Zuby deadlift.”
I am absolutely not saying what is required to be trans, I am talking about the practical reality of high school sports. Have you ever met a school board or a crowd of PTA moms? Do you get shoulder pain from the amount of punching down you are doing? Do you have to take anxiety meds for the amount you worry about the hypothetical possibility of people who are not you doing things that don’t affect your life at all? Don’t you get tired of being manipulated into screaming in the wrong direction while multiple world governments backslide into fascism?

Look I fucking hate Tucker Carlson and I wish only the worst for him but this woman. *smh*
In her suit, Grossberg describes an environment at Fox News that "subjugates women based on vile sexist stereotypes, typecasts religious minorities and belittles their traditions, and demonstrates little to no regard for those suffering from mental illness."
Before joining the team, Grossberg said she thought Carlson's racist and misogynistic remarks were all for show.
"I was hopeful that maybe there was a kinder person behind the on-air persona," Grossberg said, "but unfortunately, it's quite the reverse."

Idk why 'getting into bed with neonazis because they're antizionists' being an incredibly fucking stupid and reactionary position isn't sinking in for some people but if you've ever fucking thought stormfront or even mainstream right wing media was your ally in anything, shut the fuck up forever
