Sure, he doesn’t have Fox News to hawk his white supremacist B.S. on anymore — but it surely seems he’s already discovered a nice alternative.
Tucker Carlson introduced Tuesday afternoon that after his firing he’s going to carry “a new version” of his present again instantly — solely it is going to air immediately on Twitter. He mentioned in a video posted to the social community:
“Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter. Free speech is the main right you have. Without it, you have no others.”
He’s mixing up freedom of speech with freedom of the press, isn’t he? Oh wait, no, as a result of he’s not truly doing information and by no means was. He’s simply doing racist canine whistling (whereas reportedly saying far more explicitly racist stuff behind the scenes) for a rising variety of white supremacist-leaning viewers. You know, stuff the lamestream media simply can’t deal with! Sigh.

Innerestingly, in keeping with Puck News reporter Dylan Byers, Tucker had a non-compete clause in his Fox contract. After he was let go from the community — reportedly as a result of their worry his personal texts would make the community look method too racist — he would have gotten a cool $25 million! For doing nothing! Or, extra precisely, for not doing what he’s doing, one other model of his Fox News present. He might have carried out a Westminster Dog Show podcast about why the white canine ought to all win, that may have been effective. But he’s selecting to forgo tens of millions to do, as he places it, “a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years” on a rival… effectively, not community precisely…
Why Twitter? It’s attainable no precise community can have him. It’s extra seemingly, although, that he’s getting a really, excellent supply from a like-minded multibillionaire. Under Elon Musk, white supremacists are flourishing on Twitter like by no means earlier than.
As for the cash, effectively, it seems to be like Tucker continues to be going to attempt to get that $25 mil. His lawyer fired off a letter accusing Fox News of “fraud and breach of contract” simply earlier than the announcement. It seems to be like he’s popping out swinging in opposition to his former community. Will it work? Who is aware of? But he and Twitter are, unhappy to say, a fairly good match as of late…
What do YOU consider Tucker’s large transfer??
