In recent weeks, Tucker Carlson, the conservative Fox News host, has challenged the Black Lives Matter movement, dismissed demonstrators as “criminal mobs,” accused a Texas police chief of “sounding more like a therapist than a cop” and mocked a CNN children’s special about racism that featured Elmo, the “Sesame Street” puppet.
His comments have generated a harsh backlash. Critics have called Mr. Carlson’s on-air monologues incendiary and accused him of making racist remarks. Major advertisers, including the Walt Disney Company and Sandals, the vacation resorts, have fled, requesting that Fox News remove their ads from Mr. Carlson’s 8 p.m. hour.
Viewers, however, are tuning in.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” was seen by 4.2 million people on Monday, making it the most-watched television program in the country that night, ahead of entertainment fare on the major networks. His show was the highest rated on Fox News last week, and he has pulled ahead of Sean Hannity, the network’s usual ratings leader, in total viewers for June.

The truth is incendiary apparently.
Two or three left, and guess what? GOODBYE.
Pandering anti America First globalists.
My Pillow and Roslin Capital are going to making a literal mint.
Seems like Tucker is effective, otherwise the collective erections of the left wouldn’t be happening
Highest ratings in cable news.
Absolutely crushed CNN
let them flee- stupid business decision on their part- you can’t fix stupid-
Well I guess 4 million people arent seeing their ads.
Sooner or later they will feel the profit loss from being woke and come crawling back. I would not let them. There are always new advertisers. Why work with ones that want to control you. I wold go a step farther and drop advertisers that support BLM and antifa proactively.
>>>Critics have called Mr. Carlson’s on-air monologues incendiary<<<
Funny coming from People who have no problem with the People they support hurling Molotov Cocktails during those Peaceful Protests.
I like My Pillow.
PC crowd, bless your hearts
Grynbaum the Rioter and Hsu the Foreigner are puzzled by Tucker’s massive popularity.
Cuz U know, they don’t know anyone who watches him.
So how could he be popular?!
The current crop of advertisers may leave, but there will be a parade to his show with his kind of numbers.
Meanwhile, “Tiffany” and David can join the other ten or fifteen people watching their hero Lemon on CNN, with the advertisers wasting their cash on Virtue Signaling.
Are there? So many corporations are gutless, I don't know who will step up. It would have to be a company that realizes that the woke left is not their customer base anyway, and that offending them would not hurt them.
Absolutely crushed CNN“
Also beat Hannity’s Republican Party rah-rah pompom hour.
That’s great. We’re watching more TV and they’re burning down the country and destroying statues.
It’s good people are watching and know what’s going on. We need action.
Trump’s rallies are a start
Now I can watch Tucker without the Sandals commercials. Bye.
Disney can make some fine films at times, but their recent management is commie-like.

“Sooner or later they will feel the profit loss from being woke and come crawling back. I would not let them”.
Exactly. This what Rush did several years ago when the left pulled a major boycott campaign against him and several long time advertisers bailed on him. They were replaced and when it blew over some tried very hard to apologize and asked for their slot back. Limbaugh told them to go pound sand.
The guy in the Rosalyn Capitol commercial, William Devane is a left wing nut.
