Holy shít.

Every Fox News personality who people think will survive and thrive outside of Fox, doesn't. I remember when Glenn Beck ruled the right wing world for ten minutes.

This isn't Tucker's first time in the wilderness. But this is shocking since he is the linchpin of their entire network. And any time these guys try to create their own start-ups or make them mainstream they fail. He can't make Daily Caller over into Semafor, for example - for one thing, its laundered, newly-respectable Beltway alum like Kaitlan Collins would run for the hills. So I have no idea what he could possibly do other than stay home and sit on his money, which is probably the best thing for the country. Whatever ousted him must be very dire.

@Vee I remember hearing this was coming, but still surprised it actually happened. I have no tears to cry for Nate Silver, who threw away his reputation for the sake of contrarian and right wing talking points. He and Josh Barro can go bankroll some podcast to nowhere.

I won't be shocked if he turns up on CNN or Semafor or something. There's always a place for the loud wrong white guy who insists he is only 'data-driven' while clucking over liberals fact-checking him about COVID masking protocols. Nate's behavior is their behavior and comforts their priors. It's the same reason the vacuous Brian Stelter is led around by the nose by any contrarian op-ed.
