Former Fox News prime-time host Tucker Carlson is more popular among Republicans than the network that fired him, according to a new poll out from Change Research. Carlson also beat out Twitter CEO Elon Musk.
Based on results from 404 likely Republican primary voters, Carlson scored a 59 percent net favorability rating. Musk trailed slightly behind him with 53 percent, and Fox News earned a negative 4 percent.
...
Fox News fired Carlson in April, days after the network’s highest-rated host gave the keynote address at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary.
...
Carlson announced shortly after his termination from television that he would bring his show to Twitter.
“There aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech,” Carlson said in a three-minute video. “The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.”
...
Fox News’ ratings plummeted after the network gave Carlson the boot.
“Cable news ratings show that in the two weeks since the host was fired, figures for Carlson’s former spot have dropped by around 50 percent,” Newsweek reported, “while the network’s audience among 25- to 54-year-olds had shrunk by two thirds.”
Tucker has said some weird things in the last 6 months, but I will take him over Fox News every day and twice on Friday.
GO FOX, you are rockin’it!

That pretty much sums it up.
Tucker has been awful quiet lately.

Too bad he doesn’t have a job.
I cut the cord. Corporate Fox can take a flying leap.
For us, it’s Fox Business only. (90% pro MAGA.)
Yeah, where’s the Twitter show?
Haha!
Oh that is good. ROFL
