BSR Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Tucker Carlson is, er, was the king of cable news. His ratings were far higher than his Fox peers (Hannity, Ingraham, Watters) and multiple times higher than the highest-rated shows on CNN & MSNBC, e.g., Carlson 3.3 million vs. Anderson Cooper 868K. Wherever he goes, it might take a bit for him to rebuild his following, but I expect him to gain far more followers in the long run. He should do at least as well as Joe Rogan, for example, whose Spotify podcast averages 11 million. Rush Limbaugh used to get 15.5 million listeners who tuned in at least once a week and earned $84.5 million a year. Tucker should shoot for, at the very least, 20 million listeners and $100 million. + José Soplanucas and pubic_assistance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioRob Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Given the abrupt nature of the change, I'm assuming his contract is being paid out or that he's getting a rather nice golden parachute. So on top of whatever is next for him, I expect he still managed to land a payday. I'm not a fan of the guy, but generally that's how things go at that level. Especially given the contracts involved. + jessmapex, pubic_assistance, BSR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Italiano Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I know, I know, no politics. But hey, what a disgusting human being he is! Of course there will be other channels/platforms where he will still spew his lies, but at least his horrible mocking angry face will not be visible when I surf the channels of my TV.

+ tassojunior Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The CIA will pay plenty to get the last anti-war voice out of media and since Carlson is practically part of the Biden family he will be taken care of well. Fox will also be taken care of well as it transitions to another regime propaganda repetition machine. mike carey and craigville beach 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthOfTheBorder Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I continue to be fascinated by those addicted to political discussions Best thing I ever did was turn off the news and disengage from all things political.

pubic_assistance Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think that Carlson has had an impressive career. I remember him from his time at CNN. I don't really watch Fox News, so I have very little knowledge of his time there outside of a few clips that I've seen online, and articles I've read. Without making a political statement, I will say that the distaste some people here, have for the man is emblematic of the on-going SOCIAL split down the middle in this country. You have some who are calling for drastic "progressive" change while others have a great distaste for the excessive reach of these changes. Carlson simply represents the population of people who cherish certain components of American culture and don't wish to see them washed away. I don't necessarily agree with status quo-ism but I certainly understand how people can, and do cling to the past. So I don't condemn him or anyone for that matter who leans conservative as a way of holding on to what works for them. "Don't fix what isn't broken" is their mantra and that was Tucker's too. Unfortunately he often speaks from a bubble of society that remains deliberately oblivious to struggles in other communities. For that I am critical of his somewhat patrician viewpoint on sociological changes. What I do respect about Tucker Carlson is that he has always kept pounding on the very anti-corporatocracy viewpoint, that I share myself. I expect with that, he will struggle to find a big money sponsor since the American Media is now completely infested with PRO Global Corporate propaganda.
