AXIOS 1 big thing: Carlson ouster stuns conservatives ... TPB immediate response!!!!!!! Original article: Peter Burgess COMMENTARY This news may well have stunned the 'MAGA' world, but is has also been a big surprise for everyone that follows news and current events. No surprise ... but I was not a 'follower' of Tucker Carlson, but thought of him as a 'powerful evil man who was driven by extreme egotism, power and money' and a super fit for the Murdoch misinformation driven media machine in the uSA, Fox News. Increasingly I have been thinking about the role of the 'media' in driving the world's socio-enviro-economic system and have come away with the interim conclusions that the media had become a dangerous co-conspiritor in the decline of democracy with nobody ... no organization ... no leaders ... standing up and calling out the dangerous situation. Rather the 'leadership class' in general has been taking advantage of the situation and corralling as much money wealth as they can without 'giving a damn' about their own role in damaging the system. It is fashionable to put blame for the poor overall socio-enviro-economic performance over the past 40 years on the 'common man' ... but it is much more a systemic problem driven by rather few powerful people and their enablers. Fox News and the other Murdoch controlled news organizations around the world have been a part of the universe of enablers along the lines that were only a dream back in the days of Richard Nixon who sowed the seeds of 'political media misinformation' and the rise of people in media like Roger Ailes who had a big roile on the development of the Fox News political misinformation machine. The media landscape has changed a lot in the last 50 years, not all of it for the better. My impressive was that people like Walter Kronkite took their role in news propagation very seriously and would only report verified facts. Being first and being wrong was not part of his modus operandi. Nor, being the most profitable was not part of his workplace. But being right was a top priority. So the current news is that Tucker Carlson has been separated from Fox News. I do not have answers to 'Why' he has been separated and 'What' it really means. It might be a change for the better ... but I am not hlding my breath. Peter Burgess | ||

Axios Sneak Peek Apr 24, 2023, 8:01 PM Axios ... Axios Sneak Peek By Zachary Basu · Apr 24, 2023 Welcome back to Sneak. Smart Brevity™ count: 1,096 words ... 4 minutes. ⚡ Situational awareness: Fulton County's district attorney told law enforcement to prepare for 'charging decisions' between July 11 and Sept. 1 in the investigation of Trump-backed efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election. 1 big thing: Carlson ouster stuns conservatives Tucker Carlson Photo: Jason Koerner/Getty Images Primetime host Tucker Carlson's abrupt firing from Fox News has sent shock waves throughout the political and media ecosystem, driving a wedge between the conservative movement and the biggest platform in cable news. Why it matters: Carlson's massive influence is tied to the same populist, right-wing forces that former President Trump harnessed in his hostile takeover of the Republican Party. His voice will continue to play a role in the 2024 GOP primary — though it's unclear in what form.
