What's next for Tucker Carlson?

[Kemosabe]

Over the past several days, there has been considerable agitation resulting from the release of Tucker Carlson's controversial comments—from 2006 to 2011—on the "Bubba the Love Sponge" radio show. While Mr. Carlson steadfastly refuses to apologize, one can't help but wonder about his future at FOX News.

From The Washington Post: Tucker Carlson makes sexually explicit jokes about Miss Teen USA contestant in latest audio.

I still wonder how he has a career in the first place.

It hasn't hurt his ratings. He and Hannity are tie for the number of viewers. They're both getting beat by WWE wrestling.

For me, I prefer the wrestling. They dress better.

They fake better outrage at WWE too.

Some advertisers are concerned, however.

From the AP: Carlson comments signal brawl for advertisers.

Some advertisers are concerned, however.

I think the majority of concerned advertisers have already abandoned all news channels. For almost ten years, I've been seeing notices attached to major national spots that simply say "Do not air in or near any controversial programming." Media Matters has scared them away, and they won't be coming back.

well, i think this heat will die, all the advertisers will return and we forget about it anyway. that's what happens almost every time a controversy happens to a Fox News personally anyway.
