It's good to have him saying, specially because of his audience, all the things that we already knew about how the mass media works. He's confirming things people suspected, but he's now an insider coming out in the open.
Tucker Carlson interviews & ideologies
- Thread starter luc
- Start date
These guys have the same old smell as Gurdjieff was once wont to say (cross-posted):
Gurdjieff was certainly attuned to smell, as it seems to be a capstone smell these days from continent to continent, and pernicious to the senses from the extremes of certain parties, news rooms, universities, medicine, corporations, think tanks, foundations and NGO's.
Speaking of a similar smell and Twitter, this story came out regarding the CBC:
Elon Musk has positioned Twitter as being a platform for content creators and free speech. Despite claims by journalists and media outlets that they’d be boycotting the platform, most have remained. Even CBC, which stopped tweeting after its accounts were labelled “government-funded media,” has resumed.
I also think it is smart of Tucker to use the momentum of his firing while it is still fresh in the minds of people: Rather then waiting for too long, he decided to it now and thus increase chances significantly to carry over many of his TV watchers to twitter and even expand that audience. If he would have waited for months or years before coming back, chances are, that many people would have just lost interest and/or forgot about it.
So, it looks like he will soon just carry on with a pretty similar show on twitter while he can take off some of his cloves he had to wear on Fox. Which will make the show even better!
I also think that he will probably expand his long format interviews with interesting people and add new content. He has freed himself from quite some shackles!
And all this will likely just be another big blow for the old mainstream media! I think Fox and co have shot themselves royally in the foot, yet again. They have miscalculated, again.

He also probably had clauses in his contract that he can't go to podcasts or speak at events without permission. So we can look forward to him making the rounds, and he has proven that he's brilliant with such free-flowing formats too!
Here comes an interesting twist... (this article has lots of tweets, videos, and quotes on both sides of the issue)

(excerpts)
"Are Twitter's days of encouraging free speech and independent thought numbered... or is Musk, just days after unveiling that Tucker is joining, playing 4D chess?"
"Just hours after Elon Musk announced he had picked a new female Twitter CEO candidate, the WSJ revealed the identity of the person in talks to become the next CEO of the world's most important social network: it is Linda Yaccarino, who is currently NBCUniversal’s influential head of advertising."
"Bottom line: despite that last rather odd detour, which can be attributed to Trump's habitual lack of due diligence, Yaccarino appears to be the perfect establishment hire, one who will help Twitter recover most of its lost ad revenue... the trade-off may very well be that in the process twitter may just become the same company it was before its acqusition by Trump."
"In response to the news of her hiring, the outcry has been - as one would imagine - extremely polarized."
"As such, it will be Yaccarino's job to convince advertisers to return: Yaccarino, who oversees roughly $13 billion in annual ad revenue, is well-known for her tight relationship with marketers and ad agencies. Yaccarino has a reputation for hard-nosed negotiating tactics, and media buyers have described her as the “velvet hammer.”
"On the other hand, the hiring of Yaccarino to head the social network which in recent months has become the bane of liberals and progressives through its encouragement of free speech and independent thought, both of which are despised and suppressed by the left, could be a problem."
"For one, according to her LInkedIn profile, Yaccarino is the "Chairman of the WEF's Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the WEF's Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee. She is also highly engaged with the Value in Media initiative." Most recently, she delivered the following speech in Jan 2020: 'World Economic Forum: Creating the Workplace of the Future by Focusing on People."
"And then there's this: in 2021-2022, as Ad Council Chair, "Yaccarino partnered with the business community, the White House, and government agencies to create a COVID-19 vaccination campaign, featuring Pope Francis and reaching over 200 million Americans."
"At NBCU, she uses the power of media to advance equity and helps to launch DEI-focused initiatives,"

What was Elon expecting?
WATCH: New Twitter CEO says advertisers should have 'influence' over 'content moderation' on platform
Footage has surfaced of recently-appointed Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino speaking with Elon Musk, arguing that advertisers should have more "influence" over aspects of the platform such as product development and even content moderation. Her comments were met with pushback from Musk, who remained steadfast in his belief that freedom of speech took presedence over advertising dollars.
Who's gaslighting whom . . . and is Tucker having second thoughts or has he signed on the dotted line?
I was just discussing this over with a few friends and while it does not bode well, considering her track record and CV, it is also true that Twitter needs to become profitable somehow otherwise it will simply go down eventually. In that context I can understand Elon's decision to hire her.
However, it is a big gamble for Musk to take, considering that he did make Twitter a good place to be, based on his push for freedom of speech, curtailing that would be a huge blow to the sales pitch he made to all the users that decided to remain or come back to the platform.
So, we shall wait and see and give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
And he's bound to make way more than that by going solo, so in the long run, it's a small price to pay.
oh, I found a link in which it is mentioned: Tucker Carlson is relaunching his show on Elon Musk's Twitter—and reportedly without $25 million in severance

I read about this somewhere, apparently part of his severance package did include a 25 million dollar portion that was tied to him staying off the air, but I daresay that it sounded more like hush money than anything else, and if true.. it would only add to his appeal in people. One of the reason's that someone like Dave Chapelle is so legendary with people is a situation in which he apparently left 50 million dollars on the table before he compromised his values (or something like that).. so Tucker doing something similar will put him on a similar level.
And he's bound to make way more than that by going solo, so in the long run, it's a small price to pay.

Dated 3 weeks ago, 46:25 minutes of Tucker:
Tucker has brought in a three-man crew to repair his Maine studio after it was aggressively stripped by Fox news:

And no - no one's going to force him to run for president!

Now that he's off the air, nothing to watch at 8 pm except for Thursday and Young Sheldon - love that show! Turning the tv off for lack of anything worthwhile to watch due to countless repeats, reruns, woke/libtard reality shows and extreme representation of black/bi-racial couples/persons in ads. Can't wait for June 1 and PRIDE month -
. And the bogus climate agenda BS has appeared on shows including Jeopardy whereas it's a staple on The Weather Channel. Yes, it's "the vast wasteland" even more than ever now.

We haven't seen much of Yaccarino's influence yet, but at 2 weeks since her appointment it shouldn't be expected. If anything, we are seeing Twitter becoming more relevant with the 2024 campaigns: The DeSantis announcement, and further interviews with other candidates, all around Musk's influence. It makes me think that it will be owner's personality the driving force of the platform, and not so much the new CEO's...

In Tucker's inaugural episode on Twitter, it was refreshing to hear his steady stream of truth (and well-deserved sarcasm) about all the lies!
He covers a broad range of topics. I especially liked him pointing out the media's ubiquitous use of "tautology" (a technically logical combination of sentences that is always true, regardless of the truth or falsity of the constituent sentences; a circular argument that is so self-evidently true as not to be questioned)--arguments traditionally ridiculed as so stupid they were hilarious. As an example, he shows a clip of Nikki Haley on CNN cheerleading for Ukraine: "We must support Ukraine because Ukraine must have our support to see it through to the end."
