Fired Fox News provocateur Tucker Carlson dropped a video Tuesday on Twitter announcing he will do a new version of his old political commentary program on the platform. SteveBattaglio has more.
Fox Corp. reports the loss after it spent $850 million to settle the defamation case brought by Dominion, which alleged Fox News damaged its reputation by spreading falsehoods about voter fraud in the 2020 election.It’s unclear whether Carlson’s contract restricts him from digital platforms. Carlson said he will be using Twitter to present his views, although he offered no specifics on how often the program will appear.
“Soon we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last 6 1/2 years to Twitter,” Carlson said in the nearly three-minute video. “We’ll bring some other things too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now we’re just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others. See you soon.”
Carlson, whose inflammatory comments about immigration and race made him a target of critics and radioactive to brand name advertisers, had the most-watched prime-time show on Fox News, the leading cable news network. The audience of more than 3 million viewers he averaged nightly has been cut by more than half since a rotation of fill-in hosts have appeared in the 8 p.m. Eastern hour.
