Tucker Carlson is reportedly hiring 9 staffers leaving Fox News

If these reports from someone close to Tucker Carlson are true – and I bet that they are – some very talented people seem to regard Fox News as a sinking ship and are hopping off.

Chadwick Moore, a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News show and the author of a forthcoming biography of Tucker, revealed Saturday that 9 former staffers of his show have left the network to work for their old boss as he rolls out his new program on Twitter… and quite possibly a slate of other offerings there as his organization builds.

My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture. There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around. — Chadwick Moore (@Chadwick_Moore) June 17, 2023

 

Responding to a tweet, he indicated that the now-famous “chyron guy” is among those staffers.

Good, I hope he took the Chyron guy. He's my hero.

Tucker has an incredible opportunity before him, he could be the next RUSH, and of course nobody can replace RUSH, but there is still a vacuum.

I hope that Tucker has a sizeable security detail. I would contribute.

There is great opportunity for Tucker and many others to replace cable news opinion programming. Primetime cable news opinion programs viewership has been on the decline for years, but I’m not sure they will be completely eliminated. The source of information for opinion show host remains the same. That’s still a problem. A new generation of investigative reporters are needed.

What I really want to see is Twitter/Musk, start their own TV news channel, with Tucker heading it and having his own commentary show at the same time. That would really sink FOX news, and Twitter TV could grow to being number one in a year or two.

Right now, there is virtually no difference in the content of the 4 evening FOX commentary shows. It's like watching reruns if you watch them all.

Could Carlson go so far as developing an alternative cable news feed to compete with FNC 24/7?

One suspects so; and...

...one highly suspects that (after talent and advertisers leave in a near stampede, and after lawsuit dust settles) Tucker will end up owning Fox News.

I said from the beginning that Chyron guy wanted to get fired to get out of his contract so he could go work for Tucker.

Chatsworth Farnsworth Jr. Wasn't that Rush's moniker for Tucker Carlson?

Yes, from Tucker's early days, decades ago.

Isn’t that what Newsmax offered Tucker?
