The author wishes he could get 1/1000 of Tucker’s audience. Last I saw over 100 million people watched Tucker on Twitter. I can tell the author is a shill. He accuses Tucker of lying when Tucker’s message is to question the lies being spread by the media and government. This author probably got the most views he’s ever had because he wrote about Tucker. He doesn’t amount to a pimple on Tucker’s ass.

The cabal really in charge is going to exterminate their supporters like this author, determining them too gullible and stupid to be of any use in their New Soviet World.

That is how revolutions always work. First the revolutionaries annihilate their enemies. Then they annihilate their perceived traitors. Then they annihilate their useful idiots. Finally, they annihilate themselves. One person rises out of the ashes, and establishes tyranny to replace the anarchy, and the tyranny is worse than anything that happened before the revolution (examples include Napoleon and Stalin).

P.S. What we call the American Revolution wasn't a revolution but a reformation, a call for a return to first principles, as with Germany in 1517 or Hungary in 1956.

The attempted smear re the alphabet was over my head. I don’t get it.

It was a cutesy way of accusing Carlson of being a tinfoil flat-earthist type.

everyone knows some “skinny dude in a dress is a girl.”

Is that misgendering?

Big Brother don’t like that.

On Fox, Tucker got 3 million views.

His Twitter rant got over 100 million views!

Who is now small?

Thanks for this profile.

It tells me that reading an offering by this guy Rodrick is the mental equivalent of stepping in a pile of rotting dogsqueezins.

Didn’t Carlson get close to 100 million views? These journalists writing lies about how Carlson is speaking to a “smaller audience” should be heckled mercilessly for their dishonesty.

They only WISH that they had that big of a following…

He would have been better off to have AI write his article. His writing ability is laughable.

100 million + views on Twitter. Tucker used to get 3.5 million on Fox. Game, set, match.

Fox now suing Tucker to prevent him from using Twitter.

And no one ever heard of …

Who? Not even worthy to repeat the screed author’s name. And did not make it through the excerpt. Here only to say to him, Jealousy isn’t a good color for you to wear.

(He still believes the English alphabet has 26 letters but give him time.)

Well, how dripping with sarcasm.

In the first place, Brits will tell you it has 27 letters, with the last one being &.

In the second place, Dems and some Ukrainian military will tell you it has 25 letters, since their alphabet is not-Z.

Or the Hungarian alphabet which has 44 characters.

Tucker's first video has 102.7 million views. That's a smaller audience?

Mark Dice who is a fan of Tucker explained yesterday that in reality Tucker had gotten a little more than 5 million actual views as of yesterday. It is probably considerably higher than that this morning. Dice’s explanation of how this works starts at about 1:35 in the video. And then he goes on to show hilarious examples of the leftist meltdown currently going on.

https://youtu.be/Zf8MDguy1so

The 103 million view number currently showing on Twitter is actually “impressions” not views in any normal sense of the word. Anyone who scrolls past Carlson's video on their “Twitter feed” is counted as a view. It is not the same, but a little like other webpages that start playing videos automatically when open them... you often need to close the page or turn off the sound on your computer because it is hard find where the video that is making the noise is even at.

If you recall Elon himself sued Twitter because the number of people actually using Twitter was massively inflated by counting “bot” accounts. This practice continues on both Facebook and Twitter.

It hardly matters. Although Tucker had a larger audience than any other nightly news commentator it was still only around 3 million on FOX and 5 million means that he has found a larger audience on Twitter which is surprising. Twitter normally allows videos only up to around 10 minutes which does not fit Carlson's normal format.

And we have not really found out what became of the writers and others that worked on Carlson's show on FOX. Tucker is great and no doubt came up with a lot of content on his own, but he had a supporting staff. What happened to them?

So then this is similar to the metric that cable television companies use, which is "homes passed."

Instead of counting actual subscribers, they tout the number of homes who have access to their service and could in theory connect to their system.

Still, can't sneeze at 102.7 (which as of this writing is now up to 103.7 million) impressions.

And maybe Tucker would have been better off using AI to write his latest monolog. I just asked in post 55, what happened to Carlsons staff including his writers. People forget that his show was a collaborative effort.

I enjoyed his piece, but Tucker's effort here was not his best, especially when he went off subject on his extraterrestrial rant. We have been hearing the ET type of thing for close to 80 years along with countless movies and TV shows but nothing ever really comes from it. My best guess was that this was meant to draw in additional future audiences. Approximately 65% of Americans believe in extraterrestrials.

It probably makes sense to pander to this segment of the population.

It is the definition of viral. And yes, by Mark Dice’s numbers which are derived from the information from Twitter's statistical “back end”. Actual views are approximately 15% of “impressions”. That still comes to 15 million as of this morning. That is a massive number of people... 5 times more than his normal viewership on FOX.

FOX is already threatening to sue, and I am sure that they will. Their ship is sinking from self-inflicted wounds, and they know it
