[VIDEO] This actually dropped last nite during the GOP Presidential Debates which Donald Trump again didn't attend. The bits and pieces I have seen shows a chaotic debate where no one really stood out and it shows which candidate thought of as a threat for example a lot of back-and-forth with Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis & Vivek Ramaswany.
The best part of the debate is when the moderators attempted to play GOP "Survivor" and vote on who should drop out of this race and Gov. Ron DeSantis said that this would be disrespectful to his opponents. I know that the GOP candidates have been snappy towards each other but I respect DeSantis more for that. Just disappointed in his campaign.
Anyway I did a pivot didn't I?
Back to Tucker Carlson's interview with O'Reilly. It was an interesting discussion. O'Reilly talks a little about corporate politics at News Corp which he claimed to stay away from. He had some independence with the late honcho Roger Ailes and one Ailes left he knew his position was in trouble.
The parallel between O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson is that they both had the No. 1 rated show on cable news and both were cancelled by FOX News Channel. And worse still what helped tank O'Reilly and The O'Reilly Factor was allegations of sexual misconduct.
And while I haven't signed up I do like that O'Reilly like Tucker had moved from broadcast/cable news to their own thing on the internet. And the trend seems to have been growing since the 2000s the rise of independent media such as O'Reilly's No Spin News. Perhaps 24/7 cable news has had its day.
