Tucker was the cable host who most:

* Opposed US proxy war in Ukraine;

* Denounced CIA, FBI and DHS for its systemic lies and corruption;

* Devoted himself to a pardon for Julian Assange;

* Objected to regime change efforts in Cuba;

* Criticized Trump Admin's militarism.

From 8pm to 9pm on Fox, there was extreme, even fundamental, disagreements between Tucker and Hannity on those key issues - the kind of internal debate unthinkable on any other network: in lockstep.

I'd wager the new 8pm host will be far more aligned with Hannity: standard GOP.

I'm not making claims, yet, on what caused this separation. I'm just noting: the removal of Tucker means the elimination of the only real, sustained dissent on US militarism, the US Security State and more 👆(Laura & Jesse Waters are the only others in prime-time near that).

A major irony is that Tucker's separation from Fox may be the best thing that could happen to him in terms of his influence and impact.

The sector of media growing most explosively are independent platforms. Joe Rogan is vastly more influential than every MSNBC and CNN host.

No matter how free you believe you are when you're attached to a media corporation, there are subtle yet powerful ways it constrains and limits you.

What people most distrust are media corporations, and what they crave most are authentic voices that come only with independence.

Don't forget: yesterday, AOC went on the show of Biden's ex WH Press Secretary and demanded the Govt ban Tucker from being allowed on TV.

Dems like AOC are utter authoritarians who crave state censorship. Independent platforms are immune from that.

We had close to 250k watching tonight's @SystemUpdate_ show on the key context of Tucker's separation from Fox - the ideological divisions within the US Right v. lock-step left-liberal politics - and AOC's call for Biden to ban Fox shows.
