I thought she was on the chopping block with 2 others? Or were these rumors, not official yet?
Anyone like that not fired, I suspect it is because they were willing to play ball with Rupert saying you can’t say shit that can get us sued in the future. i.e. Agreed to be roped in some.
Someone replied that was daddy selling off of his Fox stock which would be funny if true. Even with a $700 mil drop, with the settlement it is still a little less than what the suit was for. And I imagine like Budweiser’s stock dip, it will climb back up at some point.
I’m exaggerating for effect but I have seen people saying his severance will be amazing or he’s going to run for office or Fox forced him out to put someone worse in, things like that. There was a ton of it after the Dominion settlement saying that Rupert Murdoch was happy with the settlement.
It’s a narrative that forms every time anything that would seem to be good for the Left happens. “Oh sure that thing that happened sure seems to be good but have you considered that it’s not & everything you do is doomed?” It gets old fast.
i mean – there’s already the revealed “scandal” – he’s a misogynist, and all of his co-workers deal with that every day.
really, i didn’t think fox would oust him, i thought they’d reward him for after the settlement – but maybe the cost off the many lawsuits, plus the toxicity off air, combined to push the earnings to cost ratio tumbling.
I realize that I have fallen into this cynical trap more than I’d have liked, but goodness, it does seem like we on the Left just can’t take a win sometimes.
The biggest fascist purveyor of fascist propaganda in the US just fired its biggest, most popular fascist.
And we’re bound and determined to make it into a bad thing?
So losing 3/4 of a billion dollars didn’t affect the share price, but this does? The stock market continues to confuse me. Or maybe I just don’t understand the scale of Fox’s revenue stream.
It wasn’t the hate and the lies that he spoke, it’s that he cost someone money. The rest is mere details and who cares about those as long as there are plenty of rocks.
My favourite part is his realisation that he’s replacable, that’s delicious.
