Tucker Carlson doesn’t hold anything back on his show, which happens to be the highest rated on Fox News for those who still watch that network after what they pulled on election night. Tucker Carlson calls out the Deep State, China, RINO Republicans and of course communists’ which may have the idiots at Faux News getting a little nervous. You see, Faux News is changing, not for the better. Instead they are drifting towards CNN territory. They also hate Trump and anyone who supports him. Sure, they can keep a couple of “conservative’ opinion shows like broken record Hannity or boring Laura Ingraham. But Tucker Carlson may be hitting to close to home for the hacks at Fox News.
Fox News is in so deep with China these days and the deep state, Tucker Carlson may not last. This isn’t confirmed or anything, it’s simply an opinion after watching what Fox News has become.
Remember, Fox doesn’t even televise Donald Trump speeches or rallies. Instead, they stick to their boring weekend news shows, or lame shows like “Waters World”. As if anyone cares about them.
That is a level of zero Fs given not even today’s wokeified NFL has the chutzpah for, let alone Fox News. But that is also Tucker Carlson’s sandbox. His happy place. He seems bored with anything that doesn’t risk a political body count.
And that’s why you know he’s telling the truth, and not just grandstanding, about being targeted for Trump-style domestic surveillance by the swamp. Because if he were lying, as well as wrong or exaggerating at all, Fox News’ current bean-counter management would eject faster than you can say “our next guest is Mike Lindell.”
This is, after all, the same Fox News that has passed twice now on televising Donald Trump’s first two rallies in the past few weeks. Literally handing its main linear competition, Newsmax, millions of viewers for free. Newsmax couldn’t ask for better marketing help in competing against Fox News than, well, Fox News.
Trust me, a network that was serious about continuing to be seen as the primary alternative to Democrat media malfeasance wouldn’t be voluntarily introducing Newsmax to its clientele. It would instead corner the market on it, like it did when it went to the mattresses for Trump during the 2016 primary and in opposition to Ted Cruz (full disclosure: I worked for the Cruz campaign).
While Tucker has proven to be far more about the agenda Trump touts than Trump himself, he has many of the same enemies. These are the kinds of enemies Fox News is willing to offend less and less. The kinds of enemies that mount almost weekly attempts to take Tucker off the air.
However, when it comes to pure mammon, Tucker is too much a cash cow for Fox to justify returning that virtue signal. Thus, he not only survives and thrives. Yet now that Tucker is shining a spotlight upon the swamp’s cockroaches, some of whom would’ve been Fox regulars/sources in the Bush/McCain/Romney era of the GOP, Fox probably isn’t as sure the juice is worth the squeeze. Which the fact the network has not come out in solidarity with its most bankable star at this time only reinforces.
