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.

Time for a new My Pillow. Think I’ll buy one for my sisters birthday too.
Pandering to a demographic that can’t and wouldn’t buy their products anyway.
The crap Disney puts out is pro left anyway. Let them go.
Tucker has an intelligent monologue with a calm serious delivery. Hannity has a repetitive talking point monologue with a whiny delivery.
The companies cutting ties with Tucker, mentioned in the article are Walt Disney(entertainment company) and Sandals( tourist industry).
Both companies, would not be on my buy list of stock purchases, anytime soon.The entertainment sector of the economy is completely bloated.
[[Sooner or later they will feel the profit loss from being woke and come crawling back. I would not let them.]]
Exactly- say ‘Nope- you had a chance ot advertise with America’s #1 news station and cable TV news show- but you took off running with your tail between your legs because you didn’t like the truth being stated on live TV- go ask CNN if they will take you- I’m sure their 20 or so viewers will love to see you commercials”
[[Why work with ones that want to control you. I wold go a step farther and drop advertisers that support BLM and antifa proactively.]]
Yep- make a statement “We don’t want advertisers that support violent racist domestic terrorists”
You can bet EVERYTHING you have that the Murdoch family knows exactly how popular Tucker is and that the message of reality and truth is a MAJOR WINNER. It is an interesting battle between the Murdochs and the owners of big MSM, whoever they REALLY ARE....the radical left will continue to support the MSM (NYT, WaPo, et al) at HUGE loss, just to feed the radical leftist agenda. Radicals don’t care....
“A harsh backlash”
NYT projecting their wishes.
Tucker is over the target.
has challenged the Black Lives Matter movement, dismissed demonstrators as “criminal mobs,”
Hmmmm, "challenging a movement." I guess it's OK when leftists and the NY Lyin Slimes does it, but it's a bad thing when anyone else does.
And Tucker has never, I repeat, NEVER, dismissed demonstrators, not the rioters which better describes the one to which he refers as "criminal mobs."
But when the NY Lyin Slimes needs to get an agenda across, any lie will do.
I first lost respect for the NY Lyin Slimes when I learned of their refusal to denounce their reporter Walter Duranty, and his coverup of the murderous actions of Joseph Stalin. My opinions on this shameful organization have gone steadily downward, to the point that if they were to report that the sun rises in the east, I wouldn't believe it unless I first checked.

Being a true voice in a sea of deception, TUCKER needs no advertisers. Many of his listeners would pay direct to hear/see his nightly commentaries. Tucker and staff have come into their own. They OWN the time slot. Just as the boycott of Rush advertisers turned out to be a bust; those boycotting TUCKER will rue the day they crossed the road.
I have 2 My Pillows and love them. Best pillow ever made. BUT I can’t take the long commercial -— over a minute -— and turn the TV to mute.
Tucker is effective, otherwise the collective erections of the left wouldn’t be happening!
Their private and expensive Focus Groups discussing Tuckers’ impact on the real independent voters, minority voters with a brain and keeping the Deplorables happy is apparently scaring the elite Dems.
I’m noticing that a lot of news articles include one Chinese journalist. I guess that is one of the demands of their Chinese masters.
TIC TOC. He’s been wrong on all of that too. His sources suck.
That is an amazing statistic. I wonder if Fox News will send him on vacation? They do that to people who tell the truth.
Poor judgement from those companies’ marketing depts. Nature abhors a vacuum; others will step in to fill the time slots.
Maybe, but ol’ Bill loves the money he’s making from those ads.
It’s good people are watching and know what’s going on. We need action.
************
We are also watching the GOP and we are taking notes.
My friend is a Tucker fan and she hated the My Pillow commercials..UNTIL,she heard he wouldn’t leave like all the other advertisers...Still not crazy about the commercials but she is a big fan of MILE LINDELL.
