Media Matters Accidentally Makes Tucker Carlson Look Awesome With 'Leaked' Videos

Earlier this week, the paste-eaters at Media Matters published several behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson which were meant to make the former Fox News host look bad - but instead totally backfired.

The negative press began last week, with the NY Times reporting from legal filings in the Fox-Dominion lawsuit that Tucker called someone's girlfriend "yummy," cracked jokes about his "postmenopausal fans," and told Media Matters to "go fuck yourself!"

Who wouldn't want to grab a beer with this guy?

Then, Media Matters released 'previously unreported video' of Carlson making a sex joke with Piers Morgan.

"If we're going to talk about sex, I'd love to hit some of the fine points of technique, but, you know, but it's your show. It's totally up to you," says Carlson, to which Morgan replies without skipping a beat: "We can certainly talk about your sexual technique, especially after your tanning testicles last week," referring to a joke Carlson made about a reported decline in testosterone levels.

"Not mine," Carlson replies, adding "We'll speak in more general terms, but I've got something to add."

Again, this only makes Carlson look like a regular, non-turtleneck sweater-wearing, hilarious dude.

The on Wednesday, Media Matters' Gertz thinks this clip of Carlson calling a Dominion lawyer a "slimy motherfucker" is going to cause his fans to... what, clutch pearls and vow never to watch Tucker again?

And as the Federalist Papers notes, Carlson wanted an upcoming interview with controversial influencer Andrew Tate to look more official.

In the video, Carlson is speaking on the phone to a man who asked if Carlson could wear a sweater instead of a suit while conducting an upcoming interview. The unnamed subject of the interview was “panicky” about wearing a suit, the man on the phone said. In the Tate interview, Tate wore a T-shirt and Carlson a sweater.

“This is airing on the night-time show, and I want it to look official,” Carlson said on the phone in the leaked video, not “like bro talk.”

As for putting the interview on Fox Nation: “But nobody’s going to watch it on Fox Nation,” Carlson said. “Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks. So I’d really just like to dump the whole thing on YouTube.”

And on Thursday, Tucker joked about whether "pillow fights ever break out" in the women's bathroom.

Gertz thinks he's on a roll...

The Media Matters campaign is certainly coordinated with Fox news, or some group within Fox feeding them with videos and texts etc.. All it shows is that they're so disconnected from normal people, they don't even know what would be considered damaging or embarrassing (except for the woke weirdos). One wonders if these people are still human at some level.

I don't think it matters if they think it could be damaging or embarrasing, the tactic is just to have some sort of "evidence" of Carlson's "bigotry" or whatever and point back to those videos and texts when asked for "proof." It has nothing to do with the truth, or a fair assessment or even an open debate, as they already made up their minds.

"We're Back": Tucker Carlson Moves Show To Twitter
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, MAY 09, 2023 - 01:58 PM

As hinted at in a Sunday Axios report, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced on Tuesday that he's moving his show to Twitter.

"There aren't many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world is Twitter," Carlson said in a monologue - in which he took a shot at Fox, saying "If you bump up against the limits [in the news business] you will be fired for it."

"The rule of what you can't say defines everything," he said, adding "You can't have a free society if people aren't allowed to say what they think is true... There aren't many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one... is Twitter, where we are now."

"Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops," he continued, adding that other networks are "thinly disguised propaganda outlets."

"You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter," said Carlson. "The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that's a bad system. We know exactly how it works and we're sick of it."

The Twitter move may circumvent Fox's contract with Carlson which effectively hamstrung the host from moving networks until January 2025. To work on the contract dispute, Carlson has retained high-powered Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman, who told Axios: "The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous."

Carlson's last show on Fox News aired in late April, after which the network thanked Carlson for her service. Since then, he's received offers of up to $100 million to move to various networks.

Brilliant move by Tucker and Elon IMO! It also suggests to me that Tucker finds it more important to reach as many people as possible than getting multi million dollar deals from rumble and co (which he was presented with, as far as I know?), for going there. Which suggests to me that he rightfully sees the need in the public for his voice to reach and help as many people as possible. Surely he could have just taken a multi million dollar offer by rumble and/or others. But, he choose the less lucrative option with twitter instead (in the short run).

Choosing twitter at this point is pretty smart IMO because it is not an obscure website and already has many people on it, that Tucker can and will reach. Including many of those who watched his show on TV.

Below is a more informal interview of Tucker from March where he is in a relaxed and expressive mood. I've only watched the first 30 minutes so far. I found it interesting because he touches on topical aspects such as the ideal relationship between men and women related to the discussion in the "Is-there-an-ideal-way-of-acting-and-being-in-male-female-relationships" thread. He also discusses masculinity in general as well as his surprising opinion on Andrew Tate. I know later in this interview, based on clips, he also talks about his regret for supporting the Iraq war. What comes across, apart from his interesting takes, is how energetic and quick to laugh he is which isn't captured on his news show. I think it can be useful seeing how an individual can cope being enmeshed so deeply in the daily events of the swamp. He mentions daily saunas and silence which help him as well as his pets, nature and having a close knit group of friends and family:

Having watched more of the interview at around 37:00 Tucker talks about how he tried to arrange an interview with Putin last year. He mentions how this was derailed when the NSA spied on his signal account and he was told by "someone who would know" not to go to Russia. He then states that the NSA openly declared that they were monitoring Tucker for the usual reasons. Very interesting to see how someone as intelligent, forthright and strong-willed as Tucker was obstructed from learning more of the truth directly from Putin. The control system in operation in broad daylight once again.
