Tucker's show must be in trouble.
You see him everywhere on MSNBC nowadays. He’s such a phony. When his show was after Olbermann‘s, I would watch it from time to time. I was very surprised at how liberal he was. Something I never saw when he worked for CNN. After his time slot was moved opposite to the Daily Show I tuned in during the breaks, well he was worse than he was on CNN with his far right agenda. The reason for this must be since he is after Joe Scarborough, he is playing to Scarborough’s audience now. Looks to me like his opinion is for sale, and it makes no difference what if anything he believes, as long as the checks keep coming in.

1. They probably don't have to pay him extra if he appears as a guest
unlike a real guest.

8. What a sorry excuse
for a show. I watched few times when he first went on air.. I hope they cancel the show, jeez than what will Mr Bow tie do!
Scarborough show tanks in the ratings as well but they haven't canned him after several years. Go figure.

5. Right wing blowhards don't have credibility
Tucker is facing the same problem that other ring wing blowhards have yet to recognize. They're on a sinking ship and they are going to sink with chimp co.

The problem Tucker has is that progressives are not stupid enough to bestow any credibility onto him by watching his show. So now he has to go back and hope the wingnuts welcome him back. But now he's damaged good and will have to be even more right wing nutty to be accepted back.

7. I never watch his show either, but I'd like Rita Cosby gone first!
At least with Tucker it's fun watching sometimes beat him up, with Rita, I can't get past the firs 30 seconds!

10. We (those in my house)

12. Agreed
Her voice is just terrible; we can't change the TV fast enough.

Cheers!

9. Hell, even the repeat of "Showbiz Tonight" on CNN Headline News...
... beats Tucker's show handily.

:rofl:

11pm: O'Reilly repeat: 1,163,000 / NewsNight: 621,000 / Situation: 234,000 / Showbiz repeat: 267,000 / CNBC repeat: 68,000

O'Reilly's repeat beats everything, of course. Faux News easily wins the cable news war, sadly.

17. Relax - the DU post numbering sometimes screws up
and assigns a blank number to posts (I think it may indicate they were posted at the same time as another). There are 2 non-numbered posts in your thread.
