\"\"<\/a>Fox News and Tucker Carlson, the right-wing extremist who hosted the network\u2019s highly rated 8pm hour, have severed ties, the network said in a stunning announcement Monday.<\/p>\n

No comment, as of yet, from Carlson.<\/p>\n

But his continued employment over the years is really a stunning indictment of his management<\/em>, right up to the top where the Murdochs live. I’m sure Fox News<\/strong><\/em> will live on, regardless of the status of Carlson and upper management and the ownership, but if Fox News<\/strong><\/em> doesn’t experience wholesale change, one of the most monetarily valuable news organizations in Western Civilization may slowly implode into a third-tier, Remember them?<\/em> places that Chris Wallace and all the other quality, honorable former employees – vs Fox & Friends, Hannity, etc – get together and shake their heads over twenty years from now.<\/p>\n

And if Fox News<\/strong><\/em> does implode, they’ll be an object lesson for not understanding that they were primarily a free press organization, a sector for which the best measurement isn’t money, but something along the lines of Pulitzers. (See Sectors of Society<\/strong><\/a> for a rambling meditation on this subject.)<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on Hannity, and upper management. The rot clearly is widespread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
