Who will hire Qucker? Only someone who doesn't mind being dragged into all the controversy Qucker calls forth. Maybe Stormfront.org can start up a podcast for Qucker's White Power Hour.

Moreover, despite Carlson’s prodigious talent as a performative broadcaster, he is eminently replaceable. There’s no doubt that over the short-term, Fox’s ratings may suffer. But Carlson’s own rise in O’Reilly’s wake has already shown that the network can recover from parting ways with its preeminent host. When Fox rid itself of O’Reilly in response to numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, only 17% of O’Reilly’s viewers wanted to see his show cancelled, 65% still said they had a favorable opinion of the host.

Despite their misgivings about O’Reilly’s ouster, they quickly latched onto Carlson, just as, if Fox can find the the right person, they’ll latch onto Carlson’s successor.

Carlson’s canning is lesson in risk mitigation. Fox can afford to bear the short-term opportunity costs of finding a replacement for even their top-rated host, but it could be crippled by a redux of the crises that plagued it post-2020. With 2024 looming, it decided that the juice wasn’t worth even the risk of the squeeze.
