A few days ago, a chyron, which is one of the little messages you see running across your TV screen popped up that caused everyone on the left to wet themselves. It called Joe Biden a “Wannabe Dictator.”
The chyron was only up for about 30 seconds before it was pulled, and the producer who put it up was fired resigned effective immediately. Fox News the got down on their knees and groveled, begging the left for forgiveness. Then things got really entertaining. Here are some of the details from CNN:
Fox News on Wednesday acknowledged that an onscreen banner calling President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” was inappropriate and said it had taken steps to address the situation internally.
“The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed,” a Fox News spokesperson told CNN in a statement. Fox declined to elaborate on how the issue was being addressed.
Yeah, the fired the guy who told the truth and put it up.
The right-wing network came under fire over the news banner, known as a chyron (pronounced KAI-ron), which appeared briefly under a split screen of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Trump pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 37 federal counts related to alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Well I think that’s enough for CNN. If they still call Fox “Right Wing” then they really are a lost cause and the holding company should just throw in the towel and close the whole thing down. In any case, the screeching, screaming, ranting and raving from the “Usual Suspects” on the left was loud relentless and generally ignored by anyone with a sense of humor. Then came Fox’s Arch Nemesis, Tucker Carlson. Here are some of those details from Newsweek:
The Daily Beast later said sources inside the network had identified Alexander McCaskill, who previously worked on Carlson’s primetime show, as the author of the chyron. In a short statement to the outlet, a Fox News spokesperson said the chyron “was taken down immediately” and had been “addressed.”
Yeah, they addressed it all right. Here is what Tucker Carlson had to say about that.
“Inside Fox, the women who run the network panicked,” Carlson claimed. “First, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen. Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned.
“He’d been at Fox for more than a decade. He was one of the most capable people in the building. He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately.”
The former Fox News anchor—who parted ways with the network in April—then went on a sarcastic diatribe in which Carlson enumerated various examples as to why Biden was not a “wannabe dictator,” implying the opposite.
Fox basically slit their own throat when the cut Tucker Carlson. Their viewer numbers have plummeted to near MSNBC levels. When Carlson start posting videos on Twitter, he blew Fox right out of the water. So damaged is Fox that they are trying to shut Tucker Carlson down. As for Tucker Carlson’s piece. I’ll just post it here.

The conservative news anchor, who is popular among MAGA Republicans, left Fox News after it settled a defamation case brought against it by Dominion Voting Systems over claims by Trump allies that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, Fox News announced on April 24.
Technically Tucker Carlson didn’t leave fox. Fox pulled him off the air. Carlson took that as a breach of contract and started his on Twitter show which has been getting tens of millions of views. Oh, Newsweek needs to get off the “MAGA Republicans” bit. Carlson is popular with a huge swath of people, unlike Dementia Joe Biden.
I suspect that the now former Fox producer will land on his feet in fairly short order. He had to know that the progressives and RINO’s that have taken over Fox were going to fire him. Those “People” hate it when someone actually posts the truth about Joe Biden and the Democrat Party’s desires to enslave everyone in America. I’m just sorry I missed it, since I haven’t watched Fox since the 2020 tainted election.
***UPDATE***
Some days it pays to delay posting. A further update on the fired producer has come out. According to Newsmax, the producer is being hired by Tucker Carlson along with a number of other Fox Corp refugees.
***UPDATE #2***
Things happen so fast these days. Fox News has announced the replacement for Tucker Carlson and also fired the remaining staffers who worked on Carlson’s show. They’ve also revamped the evening line up. Since no one is watching Fox any longer, it really doesn’t matter now.
