We talk about the whole Fox News settlement thing today.

And we didn't get into this, but Jim Gary wrote a piece and he said,

three things to learn from this, from the media, big media perspective.

One, there can be catastrophic financial consequences for adopting or

repeating the lies of the former president.

Two, the network's responsible journalism is not a useful legal defense

against the network's irresponsible and debanatory journalism.

And three, this one I think is interesting because I think this one is probably

really going to happen, which is it is unlikely that networks like Fox News

can afford to keep loose cannon posts anymore.

And I think like this is going to be the lesson from a lot of these,

especially on the right corporate media types that are going to say,

we can't take chances with people who say things that are risky.

Right, because we might lose $700, $7 million.

Right. It won't happen on CNN.

We can't put on MSNBC, but it will happen on Fox.

And let me ask you, who do they define as a loose cannon?

Right. You know, exactly. It's not going to be, you know,

of course you do have a responsibility as a broadcasting company to keep a little

of a shit of it. I can't.

I think Tucker fits that.

That's what they will. Yeah, I mean, they won't say that.
