Tucker’s About to Go to War With Fox News After Talking to Elon Musk About Working Together
Liberty Daily ^ | 6/7/23 | J.D. Rucker

As outspoken as Tucker Carlson has been over the years, it was conspicuous that after being suddenly fired by Fox News, he didn’t hit them immediately. After a few days went by without him lambasting the network he has carried for a few years, some speculated they had too much leverage over him.

A new report from Axios tells us he’s ready to go to war in order to secure his future. According to the leftwing outlet (edited for format):

"Axios has learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn’t discuss specifics. Carlson confidants say he also is contemplating building a direct-to-consumer media outlet where his millions of fans could pay to watch him. Carlson’s predecessor in his Fox slot, Bill O’Reilly, created a blueprint for this."

Tucker can do his broadcast for free on Twitter with ads.

Then he can also have a subscription show for members. The content he produces is his property and he can distribute it as he sees fit.

Wars take time. Carlson should just buy out the remainder of his Fox contract, fire the lawyers who negotiated that contract, and establish his own platform. He’ll be the highest earning news media star in history so far.

BOR lost me when it seemed like all his shows had a teen sex theme.

I’ve tried to watch him, but he thinks he’s God and I know he’s not. So I ignore BOR.

But many people do not pay for cable, and watched clips from tuckers show on Rumble, Twitter, and Youtube. The number of people who did that is huge.

Don’t forget Bitchute... Complete Tucker shows posted typically 2 hours after they were first aired. I think there is 4 or 5 years of episodes posted there.

His Maobama interview was such an obsequious dud.

If people have to pay extra to watch him then he will not retain a huge audience, and his influence will greatly diminish. He need to be on an adds based platform so that people rich and poor can watch him.

In today's online and streaming world, he can be both.

Pay a fee, no commercials, don't pay, watch commercials.

Look at Liberty Daily as a website example {there are many others}.

I don’t subscribe, but I’ve heard Bill talk about it on Mark Simone.
