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.

Hannity had his chance, big became establishment Media. I like Greg Gutfeld, but moving him to an earlier time slot will hurt his numbers. At this point, FOX should give up on Primetime and just push Hannity to 10pm. Ingraham may have a better chance against Maddow than Hannity.
That’s great, Maddow beat RINO loudmouth dullard Hannity. At 8PM people will not be drunk enough to watch Hannity. I don’t understand people watching Jethro Baier. I’d sooner watch the Beverly Hillbillies and see some comedic skill in action.
It took a very corrupt deal to settle with that rinky dink Hugo Chavez created Dominion, and also remove Tucker. The powers at that level we will never understand. That is huge power, the same power which did the 2020 election coup. It has to involve Intel/DOJ/FCC/NWO.
Tucker should be red hot over the settlement rumor, and ready for a response.
I agree. Yet, the Fox numbers are still way too high for a network that deletes its truth tellers. They deserve their plummeting ratings and their forfeited advertising dominance. Liars deserve to go broke.
