Tucker was by far Fox's most popular personality but also by far its most heterodox figure. It does not matter whether these heterodoxies were merely a kind of grifting or an intellectually consistent critique of the GOP -- he struck a divergent path from anyone on TV

This kind of heterodox eclecticism is native to the Internet, for better and worse, and as rising generations increasingly see it as the norm rather than the exception, network TV seals its fate by cutting itself from it

A figure came out recently showing that Tucker had more young Democrats watching it than any other cable news show -- not at all a surprise. So it's both a bit surprising that the network would cancel its most popular show at its apogee and not at all surprising.

In much the same way that the Democratic Borg has responded to the challenge to information dominance by embracing natsec-Big Tech collusion to stifle heterodoxy under the banner of hate speech and misinformation, the Murdoch-owned right wing media empire dumped Tucker


What accounts for this?
