And Dominion didn’t lay a glove on Fox:

I am a little curious about the FoxNews business model. Did they dump Tucker because he dissed them and that became both evidence and news? Or was it because they had to pay Dominion $800 million in part because of their highest profile celebrity?  Either way, why damage their brand further?  If their income is primarily cable fees, do they fear (or know?) cable systems are resisting a price hike demand by pointing to Tucker?  Or are the systems threatening to dump FoxNews altogether, and Fox is treating Tucker as weight they need to throw out to keep the ballon afloat?

Either way, more popcorn!
