I'm going to get push back here, especially because I'm new to the site, but I think of all the people we should roast and destroy at Fox, Tucker is last.
Seriously. Tucker was kind of a nobody a few years ago. He had been dropped from CNN and MSNBC, mocked relentlessly by the media because Jon Stewart "took him down" and the bowties, and was the third weekend morning show anchor on FOX News.
I know he's from a sort of wealthy background, but still, he's been in that business long enough to have had some serious ups and downs, and I can't imagine just quitting the most successful job he's ever had (arguably he's the most successful and influential news/talk broadcaster out there right now) over a (possibly temporary) scandal is kind of crazy.
FOX could totally stop the bleeding in a week or two by firing a couple of execs pushing this center-left bullshit, apologizing for its election night coverage, firing their decision desk/pollster Mishkin and replacing him with the Trafalgar guy, and hunkering down to cover Ballotgate in a serious way.
If Tucker quit now, he could be Bill O'Reilly in a year.
Or, he could weather the storm for a few weeks/months, see how it goes, and work on setting something else up in the background if he HAS to quit.
Plus, he's covering Ballotgate and he's taking shots at his own network (making fun of Cavuto) so what else can he do?
Tucker doesn't deserve to be attacked on here, he's been attacked enough by the demonic left. We have to support the guy, and he's considering making his own show, Alex Jones just broke the news, it's a really credible source because he and Tucker are friends, I stand behind the Tuck for all he's done.
Yeah, Tucker went after the Huntergate stuff a lot. He made one offhand comment about knowing Hunter personally, and was deeply saddened by his downfall and that he couldn't control his demons (demons being crack, I believe) and didn't want to dance on his grave, and people went after him here. That doesn't make him some evil Deep Stater, it makes him human.

many here agree with you...some people say he should quit or he is a coward. Those people obviously don't know how the business works.
Yep. Many are locked into contracts with noncompete clauses.
