☆ Tucker Carlson launches first episode of low-budget Twitter show after Fox News firing
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —Tucker Carlson is back — sort of. He wrapped up by declaring that U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial life are ‘actually real.’”“As of today, we’ve come to Twitter,” Carlson said in the video. Regardless, whether the Twitter show has the same influence and reach as Carlson’s one-time Fox News time slot is far from certain. Carlson faces an uphill climb if he hopes to reclaim the power he once enjoyed through Twitter videos. The first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” didn’t help.

☆ Tucker Carlson Posts First Installment of New Show on Twitter
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Katie Robertson | Jeremy W. Peters | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Tucker Carlson, the sidelined prime-time Fox News host, on Tuesday released the first installment of what he said would be his new show on Twitter, potentially setting up a confrontation with the cable network, where he remains under contract until early 2025. The 10-minute video, Mr. Carlson’s first extended commentary since Fox took him off the air in April, was similar to a stripped-down version of what his roughly three million Fox viewers would have seen on his nightly program. There were no guests or produced segments — only a monologue from Mr. Carlson, in which he hit some familiar themes. He expressed sympathy for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and mocked President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. He wrapped up by declaring that U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial life are “actually real.”“As of today, we’ve come to Twitter,” Mr. Carlson said in the video.

☆ Justice Department opens criminal hacking probe into leaked Tucker Carlson videos
  + stars: | 2023-05-26 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
After Fox News fired Carlson in April, the progressive watchdog Media Matters published embarrassing behind-the-scenes video of Carlson making crude remarks while joking with staff and denigrating the Fox Nation streaming service. The Justice Department specifically said in its letter to Fox News that the criminal probe it is conducting is connected to the leaked video published by Media Matters. In a statement to CNN on Friday, Media Matters reiterated its decision to report on newsworthy material. The Justice Department letter stressed that it was not “making any suggestions or allegations of wrongdoing” against the publishers of the leaked videos. The Justice Department letter to Fox News made no mention of Burke.
☆ Without Tucker Carlson, Far Right Loses a Foothold in the Mainstream
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Charles Homans | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When Joe Kent ran for Congress last year, he was a political neophyte challenging a six-term incumbent congresswoman for the Republican nomination. But he also had one of the most valuable boosters in Republican politics: the now-former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Mr. Carlson made Mr. Kent a regular on his prime-time show, which in turn helped make Mr. Kent’s campaign. “I was up against a Republican who was backed by the full weight of the Republican establishment,” said Mr. Kent, who lost in the general election. Supporters and detractors alike say Mr. Carlson’s political power was rooted in his ability to place people and ideas from the vanguard of right-wing politics in front of the largest conventional conservative audience in media.
☆ Tucker Carlson’s Twitter Show Complicates Elon Musk’s Bid to Win Back Advertisers

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson calls the social-media platform the ‘last big one’ that allows free speech. Photo: Tucker CarlsonTucker Carlson ’s announcement that he is moving to Twitter isn’t getting an enthusiastic reception on Madison Avenue, as many advertisers are already skittish about spending on the Elon Musk-owned social-media platform. Mr. Carlson said Tuesday that he is launching a show on Twitter, just weeks after Fox News canceled his nightly telecast. Mr. Carlson was one of Fox’s most popular anchors, but his controversial brand of programming repelled blue-chip advertisers, and he was the target of organized advertiser boycotts.
☆ Is Tucker Carlson Too Hot for Twitter to Handle?
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Andrew Ross Sorkin | Ravi Mattu | Bernhard Warner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Tucker Carlson: ‘We’re back.’Tucker Carlson says he’s back: The conservative firebrand announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he would start a new show on Elon Musk’s social media platform, two weeks after being fired from Fox News. But Mr. Musk’s less-than-enthusiastic response — and his rush to note that the social media platform hadn’t signed a deal with Mr. Carlson — suggests that even Twitter’s outspoken owner has reservations. Mr. Carlson’s new show would be a jab at his old bosses. Tuesday’s announcement was a sign that talks to end Mr. Carlson’s contract, worth $25 million a year until it ends in January 2025, may have broken down. Mr. Carlson has accused Fox executives of breaching his contract, according to Axios, while the network could seek an injunction to keep its onetime star from reviving his broadcast.
☆ Fox swings to a loss after its Dominion settlement
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN —Fox Corp. posted a loss in the most recent quarter after it paid a $787.5 million settlement to Dominion Voting Systems. The earnings statement didn’t mention Dominion Voting Systems, although it does refer to charges related to legal settlement costs at Fox News Media. Since its settlement with Dominion, Fox has fired its most popular anchor, Tucker Carlson. The Dominion settlement was reached on April 18. The better than expected earnings helped lift shares of Fox (FOX) rose in premarket trading following the report.
☆ Carlson, Still Under Contract at Fox, Says He Will Start New Show on Twitter
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Jeremy W. Peters | Benjamin Mullin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, declaring, “We’re back,” said on Tuesday that he was starting a new show on Twitter, a sign that negotiations to reach an amicable separation with the network, where he is still under contract, had broken down. Mr. Carlson offered no details of when his new program would begin or what kind of content it would have — questions that highlight the uncertainties surrounding his departure from Fox News, which ultimately could block any attempt by the host to return to a prominent role in conservative media. A representative for the Fox Corporation, which has been engaged in negotiations over the details of Mr. Carlson’s exit from the network since he was taken off the air last week, had no comment. Mr. Carlson’s remarks, posted on Twitter, consisted of a three-minute monologue delivered directly to the camera. The post itself could violate the terms of his contract with Fox, which prevent Mr. Carlson from hosting a show on an alternate network.
☆ Tucker Carlson announces plans to relaunch his show on Twitter
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Right-wing extremist Tucker Carlson announced Tuesday that he will relaunch his program on Twitter, which he praised as the only remaining large free-speech platform in the world after Fox News fired him late last month. Carlson made the announcement in a video posted to the social media website, which Elon Musk acquired last year. Twitter has devolved in recent months into a chaotic platform where the traditional press has come under assault from the billionaire. He did not mention Musk has censored speech on Twitter, including banning several prominent reporters from the website just last year. Although Carlson did not directly address his abrupt firing from Fox News in the video, he strongly alluded to it.
☆ Mortgage Fees, (Seriously), Spurred Outrage on TikTok. Here’s Why.
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Tara Siegel Bernard | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Mortgage fees usually induce yawns and glazed-over eyes. But when word began circulating last month that updated pricing would cost some home buyers more, it resulted in viral TikTok videos with thousands of outraged comments misinterpreting the new rules. Many critics raised similar questions: Why were some borrowers with lower credit scores and down payments receiving improved pricing on their mortgage rates, while others with high credit scores and larger down payments were being charged more? To clear up any confusion, the federal regulator behind the new pricing had to issue a statement: Sparkling credit still pays. “You still get a better rate and loan pricing if you make a higher down payment and have better credit,” said Bob Broeksmit, president and chief executive of the Mortgage Bankers Association, an industry trade group.
☆ Opinion | Tucker Carlson’s Dark and Malign Influence Over the Christian Right
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( David French | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
As a much younger Christian, I’d read stories of unholy violence and hatred unleashed in Jesus’ name in religious conflicts of even the recent past and think, “Thank God that’s over.” I felt comfortable in my Christian conservatism. After all, isn’t “love your enemies” a core Christian command? If you infuse an issue or set of issues with religious intensity but drain a movement of religious virtue, then profound religious conflict — including violent conflict — is the inevitable result. But let’s turn the question around — under what circumstances would you actually vote for your polar political opposite? Honestly exploring that question can perhaps help you sympathize with Republican Trump voters.
☆ Fox demands Media Matters stop publishing leaked Tucker Carlson videos
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Jon Passantino | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Fox sent a cease-and-desist letter on Friday to Media Matters, the progressive watchdog, and its president, demanding that it take down embarrassing behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson attacking Fox News’ streaming service and making crude remarks while joking with staff. “For Fox to argue otherwise is absurd and further dispels any pretense that they’re a news operation. Carlson referred to a Dominion lawyer as a “slimy little motherf**ker” and confessed to his producer “the hate” that he felt for him. It’s totally bad for you to feel that way,” Carlson said. “But that guy, he triggered the sh*t out of me.”The footage also showed Carlson trashing the right-wing network’s streaming service Fox Nation, expressing frustration that the platform “sucks” and complaining that its “unbelievable” shortcomings were a “betrayal” of his efforts.
☆ Tucker Carlson Wants to Return to TV Before 2025. Will Fox Let Him?
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Jeremy W. Peters | Benjamin Mullin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Or Mr. Carlson and Fox News could work out a separation agreement that allowed the former Fox host to get back on the air before his contract expires. And Fox would be spared the threat of what a disgruntled Mr. Carlson might do to drive a wedge between his loyal followers and Fox News. Mr. Freedman has handled departure deals for numerous TV stars and is well known for his aggressive negotiation tactics. An agreement that allows Mr. Carlson to appear on a rival news network like Newsmax would be a considerable concession from Fox. In any agreement, Fox would most likely insist on prohibiting Mr. Carlson from joining a cable news competitor, said a person familiar with how negotiations with big Fox stars have unfolded in the past.
☆ Fox says it settled Dominion lawsuit to ‘buy peace,’ as it tries to block release of more material in the case
  + stars: | 2023-05-04 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Fox said in a court filing Wednesday that it settled the monster defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million to “buy peace,” and strongly opposed motions to unseal additional redacted material in the case. “It would create profoundly perverse incentives the next time parties are encouraged to settle a high-profile trial,” Mowery added. Fox has redacted significant swaths of the material, which news outlets have objected to. Days after Fox settled the lawsuit with Dominion, the company fired its star prime time host, the right-wing extremist Tucker Carlson. “It was three against one, at least,” Carlson wrote in the hours after the Jan. 6 attack.
☆ Tucker Carlson’s racist text message shouldn’t be surprising: Analysis
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Tucker Carlson sent a racist text message that “set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox” and ultimately led to his firing, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The toxic stream of hate that flowed each night from “Tucker Carlson Tonight” made the program anathema to advertisers, with blue chip companies boycotting the show. On Tuesday, after The Times reported on Carlson’s racist text message, ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt said, “What’s not news is the fact that Tucker Carlson is a white nationalist. Neff’s termination came after CNN reported that he had been secretly posting racist and sexist remarks in an online forum. A spokesperson for Fox declined to comment on the January 2021 text message.
☆ Tucker Carlson’s Code of Whiteness
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( A.O. Scott | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
At stake is not the life or safety of the anonymous “Antifa kid,” but rather Carlson’s own perception of himself. That phrase, a syntactic echo of “it’s not how white men fight,” establishes the stakes, which are not so much Carlson’s ethical probity as his racial superiority. “The Antifa creep is a human being,” he writes. I should be bothered by it.” The “shoulds” indicate that Carlson isn’t really bothered — is still actually gloating — but is aware that this reaction poses a problem. If he takes pleasure in watching an Antifa creep get pounded, that makes him as bad as the Antifa creep.
☆ Opinion | Tucker Carlson’s Text, and ‘an Internal Struggle With Morality’
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “The Text That Got Carlson Dismissed” (Business, May 3):How ironic that a text that included an unapologetic racist’s epiphany as to our common humanity was one of the causes for his firing. The trigger was Tucker Carlson’s comment that “it’s not how white men fight,” but his acknowledgment and repudiation of his own lust for the Trump mob to kill the “Antifa kid” showed an honesty and reflection absent among his fellow TV personalities on Fox. Michael K. CantwellDelray Beach, Fla.To the Editor:Your article correctly emphasized the racism inherent in the text message but completely failed to emphasize the human being who tried to identify with the victim and realized that the lust for violence was worth questioning. Did you decide that given his history, Tucker Carlson does not deserve any recognition for what was clearly an internal struggle with morality? If so, you may be right, but you have also done a significant disservice by not recognizing that very act as essential to our common survival.
☆ Tucker Carlson texted 'It's not how white men fight,' New York Times reports
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Jon Passantino | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN —In a newly revealed text message, ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson made a racist comment and said he found himself briefly rooting for a mob of Trump supporters to kill a person, according to the New York Times. The text message alarmed Fox’s board of directors and played a role in Carlson’s abrupt firing last month, the paper reported. Tucker Carlson did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. At the end of his text, Carlson reportedly continued that he does not condone violence. “What’s not news is the fact that Tucker Carlson is a white nationalist,” Greenblatt tweeted.

Mr. Trump has a talent for the populist art of reflecting supporters’ instincts, feeding off them and intensifying them. Mr. DeSantis, instead of intuiting this potential, merely mirrored a position to an audience already primed to accept it. Mr. Trump, with his bloodhound’s nose for potential weakness in his competition, dismissed Mr. DeSantis as a copycat who is merely “following” him. “Whatever I want, he wants,” Mr. Trump said in March after Mr. DeSantis’s initial statement on Ukraine. Ms. Haley, Mr. Trump’s former ambassador to the U.N., who is herself running for president this cycle, also accused Mr. DeSantis of “copying” Mr. Trump.
