It was the bombshell media story of the year when Fox News unceremoniously fired top-rated host Tucker Carlson in April. Making that Monday morning even nuttier was the fact that CNN’s Don Lemon was also shown the door after annoying virtually everyone—staff, executives, co-hosts, and even every woman over 40. Lemon’s firing was predictable, but…
On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson debuted his new show on Twitter, called ‘Tucker on Twitter’ and it was a wild ride, discussing the war on Ukraine and declaring, based on one guy’s claims, that basically aliens exist and they have visited the Earth. This morning we reported on an apparent ‘cease and desist’ letter Fox News’…
Let’s review how we got her for a minute. Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show abruptly ended a couple months back, just after Fox News had a reportedly massive settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over their defamation suit. Eventually there was some indication that Carlson’s show was ended as part of the settlement, though it doesn’t…
As Twitchy readers know, Tucker Carlson just released his first episode of Tucker on Twitter. Taylor Lorenz, ‘technology journalist’, couldn’t wait to dump on Tucker’s Twitter debut, as though she expected him to look like a YouTuber explaining how to air fry a ribeye or reward unsuspecting strangers with cash for helping a planted grandma…
As RedState reported, Tucker Carlson returned to the public sphere on Tuesday with his first official Twitter episode. That came after the once top-rated cable news host was fired by Fox News. Demand for Carlson’s new show was so high that some had trouble getting it to play at first, but when they did, it…
As you will recall, dear reader, Tucker Carlson said a few weeks back that he was going to start a new show. Well, this afternoon, he dropped this: Ep. 1 pic.twitter.com/O7CdPjF830 — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 6, 2023 It clocked in at approximately 10 minutes and it got into a large terroristic attack on a…
You may recall the story about allegedly “embarrassing” videos that were leaked about Tucker Carlson that turned out to be anything but. They just made Carlson sound more based than everyone had already thought. But you may have wondered where the videos came from. Now there’s more to the story on that and the FBI…
Just a little hint goes a LONG way, right Tucker? Now, Tucker Carlson himself didn’t exactly drop the scoop BUT he definitely wanted people to see what Chadwick Moore had to say about what happened with his show on Fox. So this is definitely worth a watch: 👀 https://t.co/WEjfYnwXas — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) May 22,…
For once, it isn’t Media Matters posting behind-the-scenes videos from Tucker Carlson’s time at Fox News and making him look even cooler. We find it hard to believe that Media Matters thought it was onto something when Carlson joked about pillow fights in the ladies’ room with the woman doing his makeup. Carlson tells jokes,…
As Twitchy readers know, Tucker Carlson shocked the social media world when his post-firing video went viral, amassing over 81 million views, as of today. At the time, many were quick to point out that Twitter and Carlson were a match made in heaven. Between Elon Musk’s crusade for free speech, goal of Twitter becoming…
In a Twitter video on Tuesday, Tucker Carlson announced that a new version of his show and “some other things too” would be coming and would air on Twitter. There are a lot of exciting possibilities for what Carlson might be able to do within the Twitter format. It also raised questions as to what…
When we saw this headline, we didn’t believe it was real at first. But then again, CNN does run opinion pieces now and then, so we clicked to see whose opinion this was. Not surprisingly, it’s media hall monitor Oliver Darcy, and it’s not an opinion piece but straight news. Right-wing extremist Tucker Carlson will…
This is an old clip of Tucker Carlson being interviewed on the Tulsi Gabbard Show, but it got a lot of attention this weekend and it is a heck of a conversation: Say What pic.twitter.com/eRLwSoRYBj — Karli Bonne’ (@KarliBonnita) May 5, 2023 One frustrating aspect is that he doesn’t always name names, so there is…
You might recall that yesterday, Fox News sent a weak sauce cease-and-desist letter to Media Matters related to them revealing leaked materials. ADVERTISEMENT Today, via ABC News (that is, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. a.k.a. Aussie state media), we get this news: Fox News had asked lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems to investigate whether someone from…
Do you remember those Media Matters videos where the fun police Matthew Gertz showed that Tucker Carlson did horrible things like telling Media Matters to ‘go f—k themselves’ and asked if women had pillow fights in the bathroom? (Wait… do they?) Well, if you missed them, we invite you to look at those posts and…
The Daily Beast tried taking Tucker Carlson down with new texts. Tried, but failed. Media Matters and The New York Times failed as well, ‘leaking’ videos and texts from Fox News which you know, means someone at Fox is leaking them BUT that’s another story entirely. Hey, we don’t blame The Daily Beast for trying…
S.T. Karnick is a senior fellow and director of publications for The Heartland Institute, where he edits Heartland Daily News and writes the Life, Liberty, Property e-newsletter. The most-discussed news of the past week has been the cancelation of a television show that regularly drew an audience encompassing one one-hundredth of the nation’s population. The…
This is big, folks. Matthew Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, has obtained behind-the-scenes footage of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson slamming the network’s online streaming service, Fox Nation. It would be more shocking had Carlson slammed Fox Nation on the air and not behind the scenes in a video that…
Megyn Kelly is telling us Tucker Carlson has not been fired, and, presumably, has not quit, either. This is not just speculation but based on unnamed sources. Listen to the whole thing: Former Top Fox News host and insider Megyn Kelly reveals Tucker not actually FIRED from Fox yet— This is what’s REALLY happening… pic.twitter.com/0m8qzOxdsV…
As we reported earlier this week, it was a bit of a stunner when Fox announced that it had agreed to “part ways” with Tucker Carlson. FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a…
