A report claimed Sean Hannity is Tucker Carlson’s replacement in his primetime slot, with Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld getting their own primetime shows. Then Fox said nothing is decided.
Did Fox News jump the shark when they canceled Tucker Carlson, reportedly on the say-so of Dominion, the sketchy voting machine company? Fox settled for $787 million with a company worth $70, which was ridiculous. A producer at Fox told an OMG undercover reporter that Tucker’s firing was part of the Dominion settlement. Variety confirmed it, and said it was a verbal agreement.
Fox News has a new lineup. See what you think.
According to The Drudge Report, Sean Hannity, who has been with the network since 1996 when it began, will move into Tucker’s slot. Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld will also see their hours shuffled and move into primetime.
Where is Laura Ingraham in this?
A Fox News source, who is clearly not in touch, said this is “our boldest and most fearsome ever.”
After Drudge made the announcement, Fox denied the decision was made.
“No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up, and there are multiple scenarios under consideration,” a network spokesperson said.

There’s no deep fix here. This is like a struggling baseball team, and they decide to change the batting lineup with the same old batters. It’s usually not a solution.
Fox is crashing and burning, and as the information about the Dominion settlement gets around, it won’t be good.
