While Fox seems to have made a wise business decision. They are in a precarious position. They just settled for 700 Billion. Have another case for the same thing coming up where they could easily lose another $700 Billion. They have a shareholder suit in progress for how they handled all the election lies. They have a suit by a top producer ready to spill tea on all the racism, sexism, and machinations that happened in the company. And amongst all this they are renegotiating rates with Cable and Network providers.

I think this was their attempt to get in front of all of it and look like they are being responsive. And honestly, I think Fox made Tucker more than the other way around. Bill O'Reilly was before Tucker and got similar ratings before he was fired as well.

Football managers don't get fired, they leave by mutual agreement. When you are big, that's usually the way you get fired.

If you are taken through a HR process in the Western World unless it's Gross misconduct, you may judge the probabilities and hand in your resignation.

Those aren’t the lies that his ass was canned for and you know it, stop deflecting and trying to move the goalposts. He wasn’t fired for saying anything about genders, he was fired for intentionally spreading lies and costing Faux News millions of dollars.
He isn’t challenging MY bias. There ARE only two genders but I still don’t care about his opinion on the number of genders or anything else. He’s proven to be a liar and spreader of lies so nothing he says matters.

A lot of electric cars showed face at the start of 2022. Almost every new car was an electric car. I guess the marketers must have done a great job selling inventory.

Now 2023 is here, all the new cars are petrol/diesel on the road while the EVs are depreciatiing at rapid pace

Like the old saying goes, taste and see. When they make EVs for mass market, we go try am. We no dey pay premium to rush new technology
I hear the Chinese showcased a 300 mile range EV at $11k

There's also the issue of insurance premiums. Fox's settlement with Dominion would most likely be paid by their liability insurers, and keeping liars like Tucker would significantly increase their insurance premiums by more than Tucker is worth, especially considering premium increase due to pending cases.

There'll be a new Fox in the end, if it does not first fold like News of the World.

Klint Ludwig, Lester’s grandson, told CNN’s Don Lemon on Thursday that his grandfather’s actions were likely influenced by his right-wing views and regular consumption of conservative media, citing the “24-hour news cycle of fear and paranoia perpetuated by some other news stations.”

Affirmative Action, the dangers that it poses, most of which has been a hysterical caricature used to cover up long-standing economic connections, both Leftards and the Right sides have a point that the other side appears to have lost it. Peel back the layer of screaming at each other, and try to remember what the fight is really about. Really it's about what type of country they want to live in, and the systems that they have in place. And how they should work. Perhaps no area of the debate has been hotter than education policy, mostly in the media focusing on teaching about race and how much input parents should have on gender ideology in schools. But much of what actually misses the point is the most important debate of all, equality of opportunity or equality of outcome You can basically describe the latter as the underlying desire of the new "equity movement". The equity movement works to promote equality of outcome by focusing on systemic inequalities and racial outcomes and trying to normalize everyone to the same level. As of course sounds good for everyone who's below average (ijebos), but it's a nightmare. Windows were above average as deliveries were less an opportunity for all to get the desired social outcome. This was the underlying goal for San Francisco in 2015 when they saw racial achievement gaps in math outcomes. They decided the real problem was in high-achieving students were disproportionately Asian, and were getting a leg up on other races because they had access to advanced math courses in middle school. Specifically, the gap only continues to widen throughout high school. So to prevent the gap, San Francisco landed on a genius solution. Take away the ability for any student to take Algebra One in middle school and have remove the gap, If you don't even give it an opportunity to develop. The school justified the decision by saying it would have said bolstered the math curriculum for everybody. Fairer to all students and putting them all in the same class as low, middle, and high achievers. Now first it's important to lay out why some high-achieving 8th graders want to take Algebra 1 in middle school. The reason is that doing so allows one to take more advanced math classes during senior year of high school, very advantageous to any student applying to a STEM program with math. Prerequisites we also shouldn't forget these. The more AP courses that you can take in high school, the more credits that you get in college that are valuable, which and money that you're saving. This is a program many families in San Francisco rely on you to make sure their kids have a chance, especially the ultra-competitive UC system. So effectively the City made the decision to cripple these people and make their lives more difficult. In the name of equity, how did it work out? We now have almost a decade of data and predictably, it was a disaster. In a new study, a team of researchers, looked at 23,000 students in performance over the years to find this quote. White and Asian enrollment and advanced precalculus are still over twice that of black and Hispanic students. Black and Hispanic calculus enrollment remained below 10%. Before and after reform, the Task Force shows quotes. Black and Hispanic 11th graders in San Francisco earned apology scores on state math tests, scoring about the same as or lower than the typical 5th grader in the stadium, in effect showing that they learned a grand total of nothing in six years of schooling. Even more troubling, the system adapted the proportion of students who chose. Not enrolling in any math course in my senior year did not change at all. And here's a really crazy part. Not only did nothing change for blackness and it means nothing also changed for white and Asian students. How and why? Cuz even though the school did not offer Algebra one grade, parents simply enrolled them online. Algebra programs more in summer school or private school, costing them lots of time and money in addition to tutors, meaning that the only people who really suffered were the parents of high achieving students who both got built at local and state tax levels and had to pay more for private schooling. Seems fair, right? The people who wanted to do better had to pay more. The people the policy. And help not only did get help arguably got worse. This is the terrifying future of affirmative action-led society. I've been sounding the alarm here for quite some time, but similar efforts going on in law school and in Med school. They are trying their best to pitch merit-based criteria like LSAT, MCAT, and GPA in favor of essays. Doing it because they know the court is. Strike down affirmative action and they want to be able to preserve racial quotas. The only way to do so is to make sure that you can't prove racial discrimination with objective metrics. The byproduct is that there is no way to know if anyone in a position that was once not this prestigious actually earned their way there. Worse, the new affirmative action.Makes it easier for parents, resources, and game systems and attain the place that they would have gotten anyway. The only way in the future to make sure that your doctor or your lawyer somewhere you make progress, you got to ask a friend or an acquaintance or someone you know. This is crazy. It circumvents the entire reason credentials and objective criteria existed in the first place.In the 1800s admittance to Harvard and another heelish echelon, of society entailed getting things like letters of character from established gentlemen of society. Naturally, this did not work well for Jews, blacks, and people of any minority that was smart and wanted to get a leg up, but they could get past discrimination credentials.Were established specifically to give the public faith and professions with a rigorous understanding of Sanders. They understood though that the community of those who have the credential would also police each other to make sure that they did what they said they could do and learn what they were supposed to in school. In our new world, you can't trust anything because remember this is the only reason that we know about that.Francisco, experiment. It's because we had test scores. You already know what the lessons that they've learned are. It's not bringing back Algebra One to get rid of test scores entirely. First the SAT and the ACT. Next coming for the GPA. They're already saying those are racist, not equitable. They'll keep eroding any semblance that we have of a fair society. And remember this.They will do it in the names of the poor and the marginalized, and in reality, it will serve the richest and the most powerful forum us. How crazy is that? That you can consider and when you take it away that white and Asians do not suffer at all because they just put their kids in summer school and in private schools. - GPA

This extra pay for mortgages by credit worthy guys ( like the watchman from Canada) will not do a dent to their wallets.

If some huge institituonal investers had figured out that with Build Back Better n Biden policies would cause inflation. What would they have done?
My take. Divest hot liquid assets and convert them into real estate.
Now that the feds have increased rates, the housing prices are coming down.
If they need to claw back their real estate investments without loss what would they do?
Lobby the policy makers, create a new policy that allows an upsurge of mortgages by the not so risky group, covered by the very credit worthy like salford. The big real estate investors sell off their properties, bank the money while others get new 'subdized' homes.

Just my thoughts.

Trump is charged for not correctly indicating payments were to Stormy Daniels, upgraded to a felony because the underlying crime was election interference.
Now this. Biden SoS Blinken was behind efforts to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop content statement signed by 51 high powered IC members as Russian propaganda. A letter Biden used to deflect the accusations in his last Presidential debate. Clear election interference going by the left standards. In reality a clear attempt to cover up crimes by Biden family , which as MGT and her colleague said includes human trafficking.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – New testimony by Michael Morell, a former Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and one of the 51 signatories of the “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails,” revealed that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, then senior advisor to the Biden campaign, was the impetus of the public statement signed in October 2020 that falsely implied the New York Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden was the product of Russian disinformation. In response, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) just sent a letter to Secretary Blinken demanding documents and communications related to the Committees’ investigation.

Don't expect IjeBos to talk about it. His racism and Victim mentality will not let him think.

She was shot at, her parents were shot at by a black neighbor. Not March or any live matter movement has been initiated. The family has not gotten a call from the president as well.

While weak token nigga(IjeBos) like the one who calls black people thugs and how he is different from them and accepted by white people is upset that I am waiting for the whole gist to come out, I will continue to make it know to him that I don't wear the racial lens he likes to wear.
Talk about WhiteHouse and narrative shaping.
Nashville shooting case. Initially the media was hopeful that the shooter was a right wing extremist. When it turned out he was a transgender the coverage dropped to zero.
2 democrats expelled over Trans violence insurrection in Tennessee (later reinstated) were invited to the White House.
Parents of Nashville victims have not been invited to the WH.
The Nashville shooter had a suicide note and some journals. They are not releasing this...Most likely his reasons for the carefully planned massacre does not fit the narrative.

Fox news va Dominion.

Judge , a registered democrat of Delaware ,home of Joe Biden had ordered the trial to move on because Fox news statements aired were allegedly false according to him.
Fox stood no chance against a Delaware jury, their settlement saves a lengthy trial.

What Fox hosts said off air and what they reported others saying on air was the lense the case focussed on. It does not prove that Dominion voting machines did not rig the elections,The case only serves as the basis to finish off any critic of the election and justify J6 inquisitions.
