Tucker is gone from FOX

Thinking here that Tucker wanted to be fired in order to put Fox News in his rear view mirror.

I agree with you. He had become a liability for Fox and vice versa, yet may have a very high market value in the rightwing media marketplace. None of us know what Fox's plans are, but they will have to try and curb the excesses of the opinion hosts to stem the tide of the lawsuits. Tucker probably saw the handwriting on the wall and did not want to be muzzled.

You think he has a better deal on offer from a competitor for his ratings?

Haven't a clue. Was just making an observation.

Then why would he intentionally want to disengage from the most successfully lucrative gig of his otherwise largely failure-featured talking head employment history elsewhere?

You'll have to ask him that question. He's already has more money than he and his family will ever need and no doubt has invested it wisely. Maybe he's not greedy.

Maybe it's his ego that's starved for popular affirmation by being an important nexus for populist affirmation.
As a self-described "trust fund kid", more money is just numbers, except for the insatiably greedy like TFG.

Tucker had a long run and knew he could be fired at anytime because of his daring take on several issues.

Some years ago I thought he would be fired for his assertive counter view on Assad of Syria.

The guy has been on the edge for a long time. I guess possibly because he is rich enough to deal with whatever.

I believe he was fired because he went hard against Big Pharma and at the same time impughing the integrity of his boss.
