Won't be surprised if he actually gets into politics instead. Maybe run as Trump's VP candidate  |
That's actually not so great in my opinion, Alex Jones apparently made himself ~$900 million before he got all those lawsuit judgements against himself. Carlson gets paid $8M a year from Fox I bet he will make 10-100x that without them depending on what route he goes and how far he takes things.
Even Alex Jones' "bankruptcy" settlement pays him a $520,000 salary.
I am pretty sure Carlson was gonna leave Fox and Fox just fired him to save themselves the embarrassment of him leaving on his own accord. Being free of being a news anchor (and I use that term extremely loosely) opens him up to all manner of grifting and taking donations from dimwits, etc.
At least when he was with Fox you just could not watch his show and never think about him... I bet he's gonna turn himself into a massive figurehead now.
