Did Murdoch Shut Tucker Down? Rumblings that Tucker Changed His Show Plan After Threats and Pressure from Regime
Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar. 8, 2023 9:41 am | By Jim Hoft

Did Tucker Carlson change his show plan last night?

In late February Tucker Carlson announced that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted him unfettered access to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest footage at the US Capitol.

Axios reported that House Speaker McCarthy handed over 41,000 hours of Jan 6 Capitol footage to Tucker Carlson at FOX News.

Tucker Carlson made an announcement on the news later that day. Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson and his team unfettered access to over 44,000 hours of January 6 footage.

Tucker was the only media outlet allowed to access the thousands of hours of footage.

Since the announcement, The Gateway Pundit and 33 January 6 Defendants and dozens of their family members and supportive outlets have signed a petition demanding Kevin McCarthy give access to The Gateway Pundit and the January 6 Defendants and their families who are not being provided the critical government video for their trials.

Last Thursday night Tucker Carlson told his audience he will release information this week on his team’s analysis of the 42,000 hours of video footage from January 6, 2021 protests.

Tucker’s Monday show was explosive – Tucker Carlson immediately exposed how many of the narratives propagated by the January 6 commission were vicious lies.

Among these lies were Brian Sicknick being murdered by protesters, (Tucker showed he was unharmed), Jacob Chansley aka “The Qanon Shaman” committing sedition (he marched peacefully throughout the Capitol), and Ray Epps being a patriotic whistleblower (he perjured himself before the committee.

Then the US Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell jumped into action. They cannot allow their narratives to be disrupted. Schumer went to the Senate floor and threatened Tucker Carlson and FOX News for daring to show video evidence from that day.

Mitch McConnell sided with Schumer and against the American people.

Tuesday night’s show was tampered down. Tucker Carlson did not release any explosive video. His interview with a Capitol Hill police officer was interesting but subdued. There were no big “reveals” on the show last night.

Now there are suggestions that Rupert Murdoch and the FOX News brass got to Tucker and changed his show plan.

Investigative reporter Sharly Attkisson tweeted out that the show plan was changed.

Via Midnight Rider.

There is so much from January 6 that is left to be discussed.

Tucker Carlson has yet to report on the four Trump supporters who died that day and the police involvement in each of their deaths.

"Tucker Carlson has yet to report on the four Trump supporters who died that day and the police involvement in each of their deaths."

I'm hoping (and praying 🙏) that he (Tucker) is revealing the truth of what happened J6, a little at a time, because it is too much for the low information, and MSM consumer citizens, to take in all at once (It reveals government corruption on a MASSIVE scale).

And that he will cover everything (Including the deaths of the Trump supporters that day, and possible Capital Police involvement in them) eventually.

But if Tucker is being prevented from revealing the rest of the footage, does it mean that Murdoch approves of innocent citizens being railroaded and held without access to attorneys, or being charged, for 3 years, in horrible conditions?

FOX has the access to video that demonstrates unbelievable levels of criminality on the part of the government, that could potentially help free unjustly imprisoned individuals, but they won't let it be shown to the public?!

If this the case FOX: Do not EVER call yourselves journalists, or patriots for that matter.

You are nothing but useful idiots for criminal tyrants, if you are censoring this vital information. 😡

I can't say for sure, but is it possible that because he has 26,000 hours of footage to cull through, he got some of it on the air Monday night to tell one story, but he wasn't ready for a Tuesday night story?

Hopefully, he's not just airing footage randomly, he's piecing together specific evidence to debunk specific J6 narratives. Monday night's story was the "Sicknick murder" and the Buffalo Hat guy.

I hope he's going to focus on other narrative busters that are backed up by specific culled footage, like the Capitol Police holding open doors for people to enter, Capitol Police waving people through the hallways, "agents provocateurs" herding people from the Trump Rally towards the Capitol, Antifa thugs embedding themselves into the crowds, footage of the people who stormed the walls and breached the windows and where they came from beforehand, etc.

I do believe those images are out there. I do believe they can separate the whereabouts of the Trump Rally crowd from the people in gasmasks, bandanas, and backpacks who were the first on the scene. I do believe that Carlson can make the narrative that there were two separate crowds there, just like with the Charlottesville neighborhood rally over a local park statue was overrun by outside liberal anarchist agitators who gave the LAAP-dog media the narrative they wanted against President Trump.

It just takes time to piece it all together.

Using the old tennis metaphor, McCarthy served, Carlson returned the ball on Monday - isn’t the ball back in McCarthy’s court? Or Jim Jordan’s court?

If there are any patriots in the House of Representatives, shouldn’t they be outraged after Tucker Carlson exposed the lies of the January 6 committee on prime time national TV?

Shouldn’t they be outraged after seeing proof that while hundreds of Jan 6 protesters rotted in a DC gulag for two years, there was exculpatory evidence proving their innocence - and the Jan 6 committee knew about it and withheld it?!

Why do we even need a Part II?

I thought the 7 March show was pretty weak and didn’t really do much to advance anything.

If Murdoch shut this down, Tucker should have mentioned it. 2nd, McCarthy now needs to provide the access to others.

This happening last night is extremely disturbing.....and I'm looking forward to my fellow FReepers' comments on this turn of events.

I'm more than extremely disturbed.

I heard Glen Beck say today that Carlson will have more January 6th video tonight and other stuff on January 6th for the rest of the week.

One would hope, out of 40,000 hours he only played a few minutes so far.

McCarthy could easily order that the entire body of videos be put into the Congressional Record, for everyone to see.

This ‘security’ BS is just that, BS...................

There is a big intersection of Zelensky supporters and Tucker critics.

Caller to my local talk station said he worked with the Capital architect and walked all over the Capital and that nothing there is top secret.

Give them to THE PUBLIC. If CNN wants to avoid them, that’s their business.

At least give it to Gook Moot, 4chan owner.

shutting down/cutting off the CPolice officer in charge of handling those entering the Capitol seemed pretty wild to me. by blocking use of Nat’l Guard, giving CPolice no back-up, someone was determined to encourage this to go out of control. that Jan 6th comm never interviewed him: !!

I was surprised by the lack of new video on Tucker last night.

Yes, I was expecting more than what I got. That being said, I think that the "Qanon Shaman" should have been out of jail this morning. (Personally, I think ALL of the J6 people should be set free. I don't like the idea that I am living in a country where there are "political prisoners".)

Beck asked him outright if he’d been told not to talk about it

Tucker said no absolutely not. He’s never been told what to do on his program

never break his leash and actually go against the establishment.

Judging by McConnel’s comments—I’d say that Tucker did go against the establishment on this one.

I keep reading suggestions that Tucker needs to leave Fox News and take ‘the tapes’ with him or give them to someone else. C’mon, people... 🙄

Tucker doesn’t have ‘tapes’. His team was given access to pore over videos in some format in a secure area under the control of some governmental authority. The access is not absolute and it certainly isn’t going to be transferred to someone else if Tucker decides he no longer wants to play by the rules that have been established.

We’re not getting everything we want and it sucks. I, for one am grateful that some is getting out, and I pray for Tucker’s job security and physical safety. I want to see it all, too, but attacking the only current source with a chance to get some of it out doesn’t seem to be to be all that helpful in the quest to obtain more.

“Judging by McConnel’s comments—I’d say that Tucker did go against the establishment on this one.”

Give me a break. Every single piece of footage Tucker used, he had to request from McConnell and McConnell delivered it to him, knowing Carlson was going to broadcast it. The fact that McConnell is singing a different tune today doesn’t change that.
