Judd Legum on Fox
Fox News' next play
The reality of Fox News' relationship with Carlson — and the conduct they were willing to not only ignore but defend — is important. Fox News is entering a critical time renegotiating its fees with cable companies. It is likely to argue that Carlson's firing is a signal that the network is becoming more responsible and, therefore, more attractive to advertisers.

@Madken65 yeah this. I don't think they will, but they could always hire Carlson back, like a heel in professional wrestling. After a little period of penance. Give him a slightly different persona.
Or just find some other damaged schmuck like the line before him.
I've never had cable tv. Seem to be okay.
If a bunch of folks cancelled their accounts we'd see less of this mess. Try it, you might like it!

I haven't watched any Cable news since I left the Pentagon in 2011.
