You could be seeing some Fox News hosts joining Tucker's online operation. This would be a significant blow to Fox. If there's any more audience to lose, that should do it.

I wonder if Jesse Watters is considering leaving. I have found lots of talent on Newsmax since Tucker left Fox.

As far at the DC permanent establishment and US Left are concerned - this is an absolute resounding success.

They have succeeded in finally taking down their enemy of the last 25 years - the one remaining conservative citadel of TV/Cable news.

Of course, its created growing guerrilla movement in the countryside, which will grow and harass them.

Twitter’s infrastructure (servers and network) are CURRENTLY nowhere near capable of hosting a live video program with 1 million plus viewers.

Twitter was built for short messages scattered around across millions of users.

I’m sure Elon is buying boatloads of hardware and engineers and bandwidth, but it takes MONTHS of price-is-no-object building to get where they want to be.

I have nothing against Jesse, but he strikes me as guy who’s over-achieving just having the job that he has. It’d be foolhardy for him to jump ship. Ditto Hannity.

Whom could I imagine leaving Fox and signing on with a Tucker Carlson-led alternative? Gutfeld, maybe. Like Tucker, Gutfeld strikes me as far less of a “company man” than a Hannity or a Watters.

Destroy faux news, just like AB, gillette, burger king, target, ford, netflix, amazon and so many others.

Newsmax is TBD. They are owned by Chris Ruddy, who was supposedly a conservative but is now best buddies with the Clintons. I wish that ONN had a bigger following because they are probably the best choice, but they are being deplatformed by the Marxists.

Fox should never have settled that lawsuit.

Elon Musk, for what it’s worth, put out an offer than any content creators who join and publish on Twitter gets to keep 100% of the revenue for the first year (minus any fees that Apple or Google take for using their devices). I am sure that kind of deal is “negotiable” for big time hosts like Tucker who might get to reap the lions share of ad revenues for years to come. He can operate freely, with just the equipment and staff he needs to do his show(s).

Would be cool if he kept doing his long form interviews and documentaries. Though I never subscribed to the Fox stream service I enjoyed many of the short segments he did put on the regular cable.

Fox settled out of court with Dominion for more money than Dominion is worth.

Dominion was already dead. Over. History.

They killed themselves.

Hannity loves being the controlled opposition. Hes right at home with the new fox. Probably considered Tucker as a rival.

Agree, and I don’t have to have a cable subscription (which pays Fox, CNN etc a carriage fee for every subscriber) - all you need is a broadband internet connection. Roku and similar smart TVs make streams work exactly like “channels” - you’d never know the difference, push a button and your content just appears.

This is the future and they all know it. Xfinity (Comcast) got into content creation because they know the handwriting is on the wall for the wired or satellite distribution model.

And guess what? Starlink’s download speeds vary a bit but even the slowest ones are plenty for viewing 4K video content. Can’t be blocked or censored, unlimited data, and owned by the worlds biggest free speech advocate.

Again…no names.

I thought Fox was not popular around here?
