One of the first thing you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country...People who really care what's true but there are a bunch of hilarious people.. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are..they are completely irrelevant..they mean nothing. In five years we won’t even remember we heard them. Trust me, as somebody who participated. At the same time, the undeniably the big topics which can define our future gets no discussion at all. Civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard any of the debate on these legitimate issues?"

Another user wrote, "This has more views than the current show on that channel you use to be on."
"It was such an honor to have the opportunity to be on the air with you. You took a chance on me and I will never be able to repay you for that. You absolutely nailed what’s going on. The media aren’t covering the stories Americans desperately need to know. That’s changing, but not because of establishment press. We need more outside-the-NY-DC bubble media and journalists who are willing to speak truth to power. I have no doubt you’re going to be a force in that effort for years to come," wrote another user.
Why did Fox News fire Tucker?
As per reports, Fox News did not issue any public statement of its separation from Tucker. However, multiple media reports suggested that Fox News cut its ties after it agreed pay voting equipment company Dominion $787.5m to settle a high-profile defamation lawsuit. For the unversed, Carlson’s stunning departure is reportedly connected to a lawsuit filed by his former senior booking producer Abby Grossberg, who claimed she faced sexism and a hostile work environment. On the other hand, Fox News said in an official statement that Carlson and the network had “mutually” agreed to separate.
