To give scale to the growing insignificance of broadcast news networks, consider this fact-based analysis.
Tucker Carlson released a two-minute video on Twitter that had 72.7 million views in 24 hours. The entire cable news industry combined, every show on every channel, over the corresponding timeframe had 53.1 million views. [Graphic Source]
[ DATA SOURCE ]
Tucker Carlson had more viewers than the combined total legacy media cable news networks combined.
Yeah, there are more of us than them…. and Tucker Carlson is the most powerful man in the media right now.
“When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful. At the same time the liars that have been trying to silence them, shrink, they become weaker. That’s the iron-law of the universe, true things prevail.” ~ Tucker Carlson
Of course, viewer-minutes is another item altogether. But still, the point is made. Tucker has immense drawing power. He needs more than a podcast, he needs to continue his video essaying.
Seems like a backhanded compliment. ( I may be wrong)
Tucker has crushed these scumbags…
Yes I am a edgy…but hatred for the MSM here in Canada and in the U.S.A. is off the charts..
For anyone interested check out the protests by our striking government workers…yet no National Emergency declared.
Western nations are all corrupt…God Bless PDJT
Cheers!
As you probably know Trudeau is “galivanting” with celebrities in New York while the strike continues to impact services for Canadians.
“The prime minister was in the Big Apple, mugging for pictures with Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman at an event in support of the Global Citizen Now initiative to empower women, where Canada committed new funds to support women’s rights organizations. He also spoke to the venerable Council of Foreign Relations to highlight Canada’s role as “a reliable and responsible partner” of the United States.” (NP)
The “Women’s Rights” Trudeau refers to includes “trans women” born and matured as males (with same parts intact) participating in women’s sports.
The picture below was taken yesterday. What strike, I’m having fun in NY.

Yuck!
Trudeau a one-note showboat
Trump 2024. Hopefully Trudeau will be sulking in the Opposition benches by then.
I cannot see that the public sector worker strike is a thing to get excited about, for us normal people that are not in the club. They are demanding ‘remote work’, which is new code for just wanting to be paid for doing nothing. ‘Remote Work’ for the majority of people is just a scam, purely and simply.
Unless job is monitored by measureable results, there is no point in at, at all. Case in point: contributing to a software development project. LOC (lines of code), check-ins (code submitted), pull requests submitted, reviewed, or approved, builds completed, JIRA tickets progressed and closed, or submitted, are all metrics that are immediately effective in measuring contribution and value to an organization by a remote individual.
Zoom meetings attended; not so much. Call centers are also amenable to true remote work, as you are on the end of a tether and responsible for answering calls, dealing with customers, and effecting solutions to problems raised, escalated, mitigated, and closed.
Everything else, one simply must question the value of the position to the bottom line pursuit of the mission of the organization; if it is not directly measurable, what is the good of it for the team or corporation or goobernment?
Fire fighting will never be ‘remote work’, except in the true nature of parachuting in to the wilderness with a pick and shovel to dig trenchs, or a chain saw to cut down trees. Again, directly and immediately measurable.
Elon Musk has shown us that most organizations today will simply run better and return a greater profit to the shareholders by simply firing 80 to 90 percent of the culturally artificially bloated workforce. His walking in and challenging people to report to a conference room and be prepared to defend you job and position was one of the greatest management moves we have ever witnessed in modern commerce; the exact same thing needs to be done now, and throughout, the Governments everywhere, at all levels.
One of my early heroes, Buckminster Fuller, was fond of suggesting the we could advance civilization by paying 90% of people to simply stay home, stay out of the way, and that that would yield a huge and emerging fierce competition among people to compete for positions on truly worthy projects. That is exactly what Elon is fostering in his companies; if you can show, demostrably, that you are able to advance the company’s mission, you are welcome to stay, belong, contribute, and be remunerated for your time and energy expended.
This is the way.
Yes. Merit-based is the ONLY way to run an organization. I am currently in an organization that is anti-merit. A major project is a total fustercluck. It is painful to watch and experience.
Fuller’s book “Education Automation” is great. Very insightful on how education in the US is a tracking system that fragments knowledge, tracking the very bright into “professions”, and the less bright into “management”, the rest into trades or military. The very bright end up experts in narrow fields who believe in deferment to experts in other fields, never grasp the Big Picture and are thus defused. They are managed and controlled by less bright bureaucrats, who are jealous of them and hold them in contempt, as we have seen happen to doctors and nurses during “Covid”.
Why do people think there is going to be a valid election in 2024?Good luck with that… S@&T needs to happen in a big way, before then, yet nothing will happen! Keep eating your fruit loops and go away. There are more of us, but that doesn’t seem to work these days, the system is rigged!
Correction. Hopefully Trudeau will be ignominiously strung up like Mussolini by an enraged populace by then.
Does Mr. Jackman (Wolverine) appear comfortable?
Don’t know about your interpretation of Mr. Jackman’s expression, but he looks uncomfortable to me, as in, “how did I wind up sitting next to this kindergarten, sandbox flunky, is the money really worth this?”
Is he looking for the lead roll in Forest Bump II, “Stoopid is, as Stoopid does.”
Hugh Jackass
Yep…the “ man” is truly despised.
Cheers!
Jackman seems to have suddenly aged. Must be the company he’s keeping.
We thought our Politicians were lying scum. Can you believe this guy?

Trudeau is as disgusting, I say ALMOST as disgusting as our governor Skinny Pants Pointy Shoes Newsome in Kommiefornia. Almost …
Total train wreck as a so-called leader. More like a spoiled overgrown child. Of course, he’s dwarfed by Xiden’s incompetency in the race to the bottom of the political and moral abyss.
Strange times, when pointing out a simple truth will draw criticism.
or prison.
can I trust that graphic?
cable news shows have 3,032 or fewer viewers nationwide?
The difference in fewer minutes more than made up for content!
Trump 2024
Other less reliable news sources than CTH like BB and GP claim:
“Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.”
Hopefully, this can be confirmed by a reliable source so an all out boycott or more accurately a rejection of Fox News can begin in earnest. Fox has lost any appeal and any positive reputation it might have had in past years IMO. Tucker’s so called “non-firing” removal was enough for me not to watch Fox at all but if Murdoch is attempting to stifle Tucker in any way, it should result in most or all Trump supporters and other Tucker fans rejecting infamous Murdoch’s Fox news, the NY Post and so on.

Pharaoh, let our people GO!
Fox: The next Bud Light.
Pass it on.
Yes, keep passing it. Don’t even take a sip!
Pass on it. 😉
Arlan,
Monday morning, upon hearing that Tucker was gone, I turned off Fox Business and have not been back to
any of Rupert’s products. Done.
It is in earnest.
Newsmax with Greg Kelly and all the former hosts felt much better.
Fox is so sexest/ageist, too. As each of the old Fox hosts have been commenting on Newsmax, it is shocking
to see that Paul Ryan, Suzanne Scott, Lachlan and the rest have simply been trading out the older folks and de-platforming the younger/louder hosts. Either they got a little too much gray around the temples, or they were a little too scorched-Earth (Trish Regan, Lou Dobbs) Trish is still as young/beautiful looking (former Miss NH), but she used to light Obama’s tail every evening, saying all the things that were true and biting. It was obvious why they axed her when they did. Even so, I certainly hated to see her go. She said all the things that I knew were true.
I really don’t care to ever turn on one of the Fox channels, read WSJ or Post.
Tucker was just the latest in a long list. Watching the rest of them on Newsmax is more comforting.
To stay with Fox is to submit myself for programming. No.
I’ll check into Newsmax Kitty. Thanks.
The desertion of the audience FOX once had is already happening. All prime time shows have lost 20% of their audience this week & FOX is no longer in the lead in ratings. Murdock, Paul Ryan, and Black Rock all wanted to sabotage their network and we are complying. They shot their golden goose.
5 years ago I was an avid Fox News watcher. After the 2020 election I slowly started watching less and less, Hannity?done, Engraham?done, I even watched Tucker less die to his flap with Sydney Powel. I always liked Waters and watched him still, then I started watching Tucker again only because he was talking about things nobody else was. And of course I watched Gutfields show. Only because I needed the laughs.
Now? I will not watch any of their prime time shows or their daytime shows.I still DVR GG show but have a hard time watching due to giving FOX any clicks to get ratings. I haven’t watched his show in 3 days, my wife watches him. I’ve been watching Greg Kelly’s show and Rob Schmidt. Both are good shows and have been for quite a while.
I have issues with Newsmax. the got rid of Grant Stinchfeid and Emerald Robinson so for a while there I stopped watching NM. So now without Tucker I’m back to Kelly and Schmidt. Our ears don’t have many people left to watch these days and it’s getting scary not having a balance against all of the propaganda. I’m hoping tucker takes on the Rush Limbaugh model and goes to radio where millions upon millions of people will hear him unfettered.
GG is the only show I miss but not so much that I need to go back.
The break is actually refreshing in some ways except for the latent anger produced by Tucker’s “non-firing” dismissal by the infamous Murdoch clan and Ryan.
ANN is pretty good if you can get it. Got tired of all the Hitler programming on Neocon ZioNewsmax. Plus they were all in on blacking out 2020 election fraud.
“If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you possibly imagine.”
Ditto for James O’Keefe, Kari Lake, PDJT, Sundance, and all other warriors who stand for the truth God of against the lies and evil designs of satan.
Such a miserable life to be counted among the useful idiots of satan, advancing his hateful agenda. An agenda that is so clearly evil to anyone who isn’t dammed.
So blessed are we who can see and have the courage to stand against his evil ‘clearly’ visible in the true light and truth of God. Blessed are we who are called to advance God’s ways and save souls, in whatever meager way we can. Some are less meager at that than others. But to whom much is given, much is expected.
Matthew 5:10-12
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I truly think now that we are witnessing the inflection point, the accelerating of the asymptote, the ‘knee’, that is the beginning of a Cultural Singularity, wherein things change rapidly, emergently, organically, to a degree that no one could have predicted or even imagined. Bring it!
Praying that it is so… God bless.
Thank you, Spaul. We see it. We say it. We pray it.
Got to love his grin!
FOX News fired the only reason anybody watches FOX News. Hard to believe! LOL
I’m shocked he wasn’t fired a long time ago! He spoke the truth which is unacceptable to all msm.
No kidding, where did these people go to business school? Fox is going to die at the hands of dei!
I shake my head at that DEI — they really wanted to make it DIE since that is its purpose.
You nailed it.
Murdoch looks like he ate a bad batch of Schwab’s sauerkraut.
I can;t see why he can;t just make videos like this every night
from his home studio and post on Twitter.. That is not
a competing network. he is making home videos like other people
do…
Yes. He does not need a paycheck. He has Freedom of Speech.
Right, but he is getting a paycheck, from Fox! That ought to Gall them, having to still pay him for what they fired him for!
“gall” them?
Tucker’s pay is peanuts to the forces who ousted him
My husband’s first wife wanted 6x what it was determined he needed to pay in alimony.
It still galled him to have to pay that 1/6.
Sometimes it’s not the amount, it is that any payment at all has to be made.
FTR, she lied in court, didn’t fully disclose her revenue sources, completely left off bank accounts, employment etc.
Thank goodness the judge saw through it.
He can, and he will. The only question now is CDN – content distribution network, combined with monetization approach. I think he has caught Elon’s attention; something wonderful is unfolding before our very eyes!
What a time to be alive!
God bless us, everyone.
Hi Bananas, I watch the George C Scott ‘Christmas Carol’ every year, it is essential Dickens! Always grin and shed a tear when this comes up.
I dunno about that comment Bananas . . . seems harder each day for me to get out of bed in the a.m. and face these days/times since 45 got the screw!!
Stick with us , Thrasher !
You’ll see !
so…you want him to work for free? like you and i do?
The context is if he is allowed to work or not, right?
If he is under contract and Faux won’t release him until after the election, as has been reported, then her suggestion is a workaround.
I can’t imagine a man that is as passionate about the state of our nation would welcome being silenced.
I would love him to go on to a high paying venture immediately.
However if I had to choose between him not having a voice or foregoing payment for a while, the patriot in me says speak.
It has been reported that he’s still under contract and can’t go anywhere. Well he has enough money, do it! What will they do sue him? If I were him? I’d tell them keep your money I quit! I’m not under contract now so eff off!
Loving it!
#tell a truth; #truth teller…
Honestly, how is anyone still watching Fox News at all? Seriously – who’s their demographic?
Anyone honest knows that when it matters, Fox News is lying. They have to pretend not to know things, meaning they’re just patronizing their viewers. Anyone who doesn’t realize this … probably would be happier just be watching CNN or MSNBC anyway. I don’t get it.
was at Calla Lily Valley near Big Sur today…people still wearing masks…so yes, so people are still watching Fox.
I feel sorry for the manipulated still wearing masks… their level of fear must be off the charts..we are 3 years from March2020.
The dauntless masked of today are clinging to the belief that are the elite smart ones. Everyone else of us are the dummies that spread the death to others. They are the mail-in Biden worship cultists. I laugh in their face
God bless and protect Tucker along with all honest, good and brave patriots.
They’re gonna need to fire him mor harder…
Rush would be so proud of Chatworth Osbourne Jounior III.
And Chatsworth might say to you, to us…”I was one way…and now I am completely different…” copyright The Chosen.
Astute observation, George.
Can’t wait to see what he does
It’s now time for Tucker. It’s 8pm EST. See you soon, Tucker.
He should do a short video on Twitter every weekday at 8pm EST just to draw people away from Fox News!
by removing Tucker, the Fox chains have come
off regarding content (he can now say
2020 mules and give a shoutout apology to Sydney Powell)
however, his voice might be strangled for the duration of
the 2024 election for contractual reasons.
They cannot silence him as a private citizen. They may prohibit him from working for someone else and getting paid for it.

Cable news networks and broadcast news networks are different.
The Crime of “Talking to Tucker Carlson”
A Note of Support, from a Surprising Detente
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-crime-of-talking-to-tucker-carlson
Thanks, enjoyed the read.
If the rumor is true that Fox wants to silence Tucker through the 2024 election, wouldn’t that be either interfering in an election, or a campaign donation to the Dems?
I don’t know about Election interference, but it would be a free speech violation, as long as he wasn’t getting paid for his speeches, or bad-mouthing the Fox people!
Pretty sure election interference is an issue that’s focused primarily on specific candidates in an election, and not the free speech of the people voicing their opinions about the election. As for bad-mouthing someone, in libel cases truth is an absolute defense.
that is a thing now, but only in one direction
According to Sundance a few days ago, Tucker is free to speak as he wishes now, and he is not prevented from hanging his shingle elsewhere whenever he wants.
Fox plans to pay him and enforce his contract obligation not to do anything else while paid under contract, and the contract expires after the 2024 election. They want to silence him during the election cycle, including the GOP primaries. Did this about a year in advance of things really getting going, so people would forget him by then. This has GOPe written all over it. They didn’t want him covering the primaries or general election.
None of that is true according to Sundance a few days ago, except for the part of paying out his contract, which had 3 years to go.
Even if he is prohibited from working for Fox’s competition, Tucker still has Freedom of Speech. He still has the Right to speak of current and past events. He MAY not be able to go do similar work for someone else. But he does not have to sit there as though he is mute for 3 years.
Report: FOX News Created a Dossier to Trash Former Host Tucker Carlson if He Goes on Attack
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/report-fox-news-created-a-dossier-to-trash-the-former-host-tucker-carlson-if-he-goes-on-attack/
Trash is all they got.
Karma it is. Brian Kilmeade Is a dud at 8. Boring.
I’ve tuned in to some Fox and Fox business shows and often it is Pom poms for Ron DeSantis. There is such obvious bias and and as Sundance says you cannot unsee the strings.
Tucker Carlson had 22.1M Twitter users watching the Monologue. The other 50 million saw the tweet. Either way, way more eyeballs than any other outlet.
Tucker Carlson’s shocked neighbors in his quaint Maine town rally round the firebrand known locally as a ‘modest, pickup truck-driving good guy’ who likes to fish and chop wood: ‘Fox News is going to regret the decision’
Just hours after he was fired by Fox News, conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson’s phone lit up with well-wishes from locals in the quaint Maine town where he spends most of his summers.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12025347/Tucker-Carlsons-shock-firing-set-outpouring-support-locals-quaint-Maine-town.html
The key statement therein, “Yeah, there are more of us than them…. and Tucker Carlson is the most powerful man in the media right now.”
I still think the Demon crat Party Chuck Schumers threat 2 days before said it all. I have read sev insiders say that Murdoch was told. His Sons want him to sell FOX but it wasnt them i dont believe. AOC made her off the cuff comment the day before as well leading me to think she knew what was comin down the pike. He will do better wherever he goes or does.
He does not need to go anywhere. He is now in a position where he can simply ‘be’, and cause things to happen. Truly remarkable to see it occur. The Truth shall set you Free.
When 90-year-old Ladies do not like the purse colors on QVC, they MAY switch over to FOX. That will be the only demographic.
Looking at the Hannity and Ingraham numbers now, it’s obvious that many of us have stopped tuning in long ago. I remember some stats from about 4 or 5 years back where Tucker has around 4 million and Hannity and Laura floated around 3mil with Hannity having a slight lead. FNC are increasingly shrinking tallest midgets.
Bwaaaahaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa! Bwaaaahaaaaahaaaa!! Bwaaahahhahahahah!!! Bwaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaaa!!!!
https://pagesix.com/2023/04/28/lawrence-jones-stepping-in-for-tucker-carlson-at-fox-news/
too bad, he seems like a nice fella
his likely abysmal ratings will be used as evidence that the viewing public “bees all raycisssssss an’ sheeeeeeeit”
And all Tucker does is provide accurate information. The demand for objective news and issues is overwhelming. The concept of liberal or conservative news is nonesense. People are sick of being manipulated. Conservative/liberal views are personal interpretations of facts. The merger of corporations, hedge funds and our government is classic fascism. With a twisted and sick social regimentation.
At this point, the only people still getting “news” from “mainstream sources” are either in willful denial of the state of affairs or are too lacking in reason to ever get it.
Lessons learned, I guess, but by whom?
Anheuser-Busch: “Hey! Lets totally trash our business and brand loyalty by doing something stupid that insults and angers our best customers!”
Fox News: “Here. Hold my beer…….”
love this, so true!
‘Tucker Hasn’t Been Fired? Fox News Has Big Plans for Host Through 2024’:
https://www.westernjournal.com/tucker-hasnt-fired-fox-news-big-plans-host-2024-report/
Lawrence Jones to replace Tucker?
Ok. We will not watch anyway…..
If Tucker has not yet been fired, as Me-again Kelly has asserted (and he is still under contract with Fox), then one might assume the possibility exists that Fox can basically ‘deplatform’ Tucker and pay him to sit around and do nothing for the next 6 months.
Makes one think about the possible reasons why that might be…
Narrative control? Big news about to break? I guess we’ll see.
How does one calculate the dollar value of this? Tucker Carlson, with the aid of 10 billionaires, could affect a buyout of Fox just like a NFL football team with an ex lead player.
Total advertising on TV last year is in the $330 billion ball park. Fox at $12 billion for 2022 (missed estimates) is just a 3% slice of this market. The proof of TC reach is the loss of 2 million viewers at 8 pm and 1 million at 9. Advertisers will have to be refunded for failing to reach the promised eyeballs.
TC’s statement about TRUTH had more views than ALL of cable news. What does that mean at least 73 million people want?
At current share prices $10 Billion would purchase 51% of Fox New shares. FNs price has been supported over the last 2 days but continued failures at the 8and 9pm slots will continue to discount ad revenues from advertisers and then drive the stock down.
This is catastrophic for Faux Mews but a giant opportunity for anyone that claims to want truth to prevail.
I heard there was billionaire that wanted to defend free speech and spent $44 billion to get it. It would only take his current stated value of the Blu Bird to buy FN. Install TC as the head and watch it grow. Change the logo from a bird to a fox..
Would be a shame if Fox went the way of a formerly popular
diet supplement from the 70s. In retrospect, I’m pretty sure
their name was what did them in.
Remember the diet pill- AYDs?
Yuppers
Happy Dance…
{ FLOWERS (Weapon of Choice) FT. TUCKER CARLSON }
I gave up on fox when Trish Regan was let go for saying this…. ‘We’ve reached a tipping point. The chorus of hate being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo as Democrats blame him and only him for a virus that originated halfway around the world. This is yet another attempt to impeach the president.”
In my world its the Most honest accurate statement ever….
Yep, there was a time the Faux Business crew was saying what Faux News wouldn’t.
Then they ditched Trish, Lou Dobbs, Stuart Varney changed his tune, Maria Bartiromo is throttled.
I find it unwatchable.
Yep and agreed!
From what I’ve read Rubarbs off spring are running fox. Seen this many times before.. They were handed a thriving company that for years reset tbe bar. What do they do? Run it into the ground. Spoiled rich kids….smh
Tucker Carlson is pretending to be a conservative. He’s making millions of dollars doing it.
He hates Trump.
A person can only love what is an imitation of his heart. And he didn’t have a MAGA heart.
Trucker tells us what we already know.
Don’t be fooled.
If you yourself have never experienced an authentic “change of heart”… you probably wouldn’t recognize that in another person; the other’s experience would, nevertheless, be authentic & their changed attitude/behavior/worldview would be authentic as well.
“The only limits are, as always, those of vision.”
I am absolutely loving this!
TRUTH STANDS.
Perhaps what’s being missed mainly in Tucker’s monumental viewership of his latest video,…. is the power that Twitter now has over Cable/Broadcast TV.
The Marxist Censors must feel like they are trying to herd cats now when it comes to ‘massaging the message’.
Marshall McLuhan told us in 1967 that “the medium is the message”. I had to read his ground breaking book in my Mass Comm Minor at Tulane, way back when,…. but it now looks like the current Marxist censors have forgotten the import of his work.
Stay tuned.
As encouraging as that is, one factor in the equation I have yet to read is that no one gathers around a computer monitor to watch videos, as they do television. So where a TV viewership is gauged by a single viewing, with (perhaps) multiple people watching from their living room couches, only one person is likely to be watching a video play on the computer screen. So if husband, wife, son etc. are wanting to see the video, that now counts as three views instead of one. Its an apples to oranges comparison. On a percentage basis, I think you would probably have to reduce the Tucker views by at least a third or more.
Fox News is in ‘Free Fall’ and the next stop is the ground.
Go Woke, Go Broke.
Tucker’s speech to the Heritage Foundation:
IMHO, this is Rush Mk.II – !
