The dominoes are falling at Fox No News

 First, Fox No News reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems last week for $787 million dollars. Since then, two Fox No News personalities have, surprisingly, been cut.

The first was weekend host Dan Bongino, who was let go a couple of days ago. The second is a real shocker.

Earlier this morning, Tucker Carlson, who had previously burned his bridges at CNN & MSNBC, ended a 13, nearly 14, year run at Fox No News. His last show, on Friday, ended with him eating pizza on the air, delivered  by a guest. That he had no idea he was being let go then is no different from a lot of shows being cancelled without a proper conclusion. That's the television business in a nutshell.

Brian Tyler Cohen breaks this down, using clips from Fox No News' Faulkner Focus and his own YouTube series, The Legal Breakdown, which he shares with Glenn Kirschner.

What had been a valuable asset to Fox became a liability virtually overnight after the Dominion settlement. With Fox facing more lawsuits (i.e. Smartmatic), it was practically inevitable that the dominoes would start falling in the form of roster cuts. The rechristened Fox News Tonight will likely use talent from sister network Fox Business (i.e. Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, no stranger to primetime from her days at MTV in the 90's), in addition to other network sucka MC's like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters, whose show preceded Carlson's.

As Brian asked, where does Carlson go next? With CNN looking to balance their political views----and Carlson's departure from Fox overshadowed CNN dumping Don Lemon this morning----a second tour at CNN isn't out of the question. MSNBC? Fuhgeddaboutit! Newsnacks? Maybe. One America is a sinking ship. Carlson being a nepo baby also leads to speculation he could start his own channel (highly unlikely). I think for now, he takes a well deserved break.

Spam Hannity, who also has a radio show airing locally, and Laura Inkblot, along with Dirty Watters, could also be on the chopping block. I wonder if Rupert Murdoch still has John Layfield's number. The retired wrestler was a frequent guest on Bulls & Bears, a stock market show, a few years back, and he's got enough Foghorn Leghorn bluster to him to give it a whirl.

My own prediction: Carlson gets his dream job. With the National Enquirer. At least there, he can say he's dealing in fiction.....
