Tucker Carlson, the notorious Fox News anchor, has been given the boot. It's not exactly a shocker, considering he cost Fox News nearly $1 billion in a defamation lawsuit. But leave it to the right-wing Trump supporters to spin wild conspiracy theories about his firing being part of a larger plot to silence the far right. Give me a break. 😑
The truth is, Fox News is just doing what any business would do - firing someone who has cost them a boatload of cash. That's not a conspiracy, that's just common sense. Carlson's absurd claims that the voting machines were rigged and cost Donald Trump the election are the reason he's been shown the door.
Now, I'm not exactly a Joe Biden fan. I think he's a disaster waiting to happen. But if conservatives want to stop him from getting elected in the next election, we need to be honest with ourselves. Voters aren't stupid - only the extreme far-right conspiracy nuts are. And there just aren't enough of them to keep Biden out of the White House.
So let's cut the crap and start focusing on what really matters. We need to start promoting candidates who can appeal to a broader base of voters, not just the fringe lunatics who think every election is rigged against them. And we need to start holding our own accountable when they spout nonsense that costs us elections.
In the end, it's not Fox News or Tucker Carlson who are going to save us. It's up to us to make sure we don't become the laughingstock of American politics. So let's get to work.
