Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 28, 2023 | Sundance

To give scale to the growing insignificance of broadcast news networks, consider this fact-based analysis.

Tucker Carlson released a two-minute video on Twitter that had 72.7 million views in 24 hours. The entire cable news industry combined, every show on every channel, over the corresponding timeframe had 53.1 million views.

...

Tucker Carlson had more viewers than the combined total legacy media cable news networks combined.

Yeah, there are more of us than them…. and Tucker Carlson is the most powerful man in the media right now.

“When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful. At the same time the liars that have been trying to silence them, shrink, they become weaker. That’s the iron-law of the universe, true things prevail.” ~ Tucker Carlson

The number of people he reached in two minutes is the reason he was taken down.

Exactly. Those who watch network news are dying at a rapid clip,and Fox News has joined the race to the bottom as cord-cutters finish off the dwindling cable TV market (and its lucrative carriage fees).

This is a war that everyone can fight - drop your cable or satellite plan and they will be dealt a death blow. Carriage fees put a billion dollars in CNN’s pocket before they sell ad #1. Deny that revenue and the cable industry will collapse. It will eventually, anyway.

And that’s why they had to shut him up for as long as they could

I quit watching fox a hour into election night 2020. It was obvious they were setting the tone to have conservatives watching accept Trump was going to lose. Did they ever mention the piles of signed affidavits in the swing states that saw election fraud. Or the video of them running everyone out and pulling cases of ballots from under the table and running them through the machines in the middle of the night. Some stacks ran through multiple times. Or the states evidence video from cameras on the drop boxes that 2000 mules showed of people stuffing handfuls of ballots into multiple drop boxes.

Without Tucker, I can no longer stomach any of them……..they are all suspect to me now.

And blow upon blow to give Kilmeade Tucker’s spot.

And he is very optimistic. That’s one quality Rush had that had me turning in often. That and his sense of humor.

I agree. Keeping cable subscriptions basically underwrites the DNC/corporate legacy media. Without subscriptions the DNC and woke corporations will have to completely sponsor it, for expensive for them, but the only viewers will be people trapped in airports or waiting rooms.

Its a small thing every conservative can and should do.

then the LEFTIST media would have to depend on actual viewers rather being propped up
