Former Fox News primetime anchor Tucker Carlson announced on Tuesday that he will “soon” broadcast a show on Twitter, which he called one of the few “English speaking” outlets that still allows free speech.
“Starting soon we will be doing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for six-and-a-half years to Twitter,” Tucker promised without elaborating on what “soon” means. “We’ll bring some other things too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now, we’re just grateful to be here.”
He closed with, “Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others.”
In fewer than 20 minutes, the video had over 700,000 views, which is more viewers than anyone at CNN earns.
Earlier this month, Fox News removed Carlson from the air. The results for Fox have so far been catastrophic. The cuck outlet was already on probation with its viewers for cuck moves like calling Arizona early on Election Night 2020—an obvious attempt to meddle on behalf of Joe Biden. Now that Fox has fired its top star, the one guy Trump voters saw as their champion, ratings have cratered over there. Fox might rebound. They always have before. But for now, Fox firing Tucker looks about as wise as killing John Wick’s dog.
Yes, I realize he’s not officially fired. he’s still on contract. But let’s not be pedantic.
In the aftermath of Tucker’s removal from the air, selective leaks out of Fox News obviously meant to damage Carlson only proved he was the same guy off the air as on, and now Carlson’s doing exactly what I predicted within hours of the firing: taking his following with him.
You see, that’s where Fox News screwed up. In the past, Fox has fired or lost people that were not bigger than Fox News. For example, in the case of Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly, Fox made them who they were. This is not true with Carlson, and now he’s making his move to Twitter, where he will work for only one man: Elon Musk.
