    It will be interesting to see the pivot that Fox News goes on with moving forward, and who they get to replace him.

    You can't really get more Far-Right wing than Tucker Carlson without being like a full-blown Sieg Heil Nazi. And they've kinda backed themselves into a corner specifically tailoring their programming around psycho rural white people to the point where they can't go back to appealing to the moderate republicans like John McCain or Mitt Romney anymore.

    The only person who could realistically take that spot and run with it is Ben Shapiro, but he's Jewish and has his own successful platform so going to Fox would be a downgrade. Maybe Charlie Kirk.

    We should assume the pillow guy will replace him.

    Likely an indicator of succession approach. Kids don't follow dad's fervent desire to use misinformation and hate to make money. Stockholders going after Murdoch family personally for losses is going to influence succession and approach going forward

    The culture of Fox is notoriously insular. I would expect a promotion from within.

    It will be interesting to see who and where Fox goes to replace him. I can’t imagine his replacement will be so focused on the dangers and threats that good white Americans have to fear from brown people as he was.

    I don't think they are going to bring in anyone that's guaranteed to get them sued

    I could see the opposite. That stuff isn't what got them sued. That made them money.

    Although maybe it will turn into anti-trans time heavily, as that seems to be the current unifying and motivating issue for the right.
