Where do we begin? He lied to his viewers about everything to keep their attention. He billed his reports as “news” showing no respect for his audience. His views undoubtedly contributed to the anger that lead to January 6th. And his final demise came at the hands of the Dominion lawsuit. In other words, despite all the damage he inflicted, it took a $787.5 million lawsuit settlement to exterminate his presence. Money talks and in this case it (Murdock) said “get out!!” Can you imagine Carlson retaining his throne if the suit had been dismissed? What untold damage could he bring during the 2024 campaign? Unfortunately Fox will not abandon its fantasy reporting because the GOP is counting on them to spin events in 2024 in their favor. The Dominion judge should have found a way to encourage the Federal Communications Commission to suspend the FOX broadcast license for 12 months so that ad revenue loss convinced them that lying to cause an insurrection is unacceptable. We expect Carlson to spread his garbage using a different platform but the words will be pre-screened legally to avoid a repeat lawsuit. And life goes on.
