    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          If Fox is willing to pay him $25M for nothing, someone is probably willing to pay more for something.

            Even though I am still anti-Twitter, this move makes sense. The media landscape has changed to shorter-segment, online/mobile, captioned videos. Tucker can command (and track) a large audience, would remain relatively free from corporate requirements, and I'd imagine make a bunch of cash from ads. So, go for it, Tucker! In general, I like Tucker... so I wish him well.

            Side note, it would be interesting if someone did an analysis of his speaking cadence and tone. He has nearly the same "musical" style of speak (tone, beat, chord, pauses... it's almost sing-songy)

              I'm talking behind Kelly, O'Reilly and Beck (sounds like an Irish law firm 😄), who all said Tucker was worth more than what he was making at FOX. Way more.

                I think that he will be popular but still think that his overall "impact" will be less since he is off of Fox News.

                Of course, I am looking at this from the outside, but it seems like whenever celebrities at the top leave one media company involuntarily, it is difficult to "recapture" that same popularity at their new position.

                  Yes. People talk about the number of subscribers that various social media people have.

                  Having 20 million subscribers is not the same as having 2 million people watching real-time.

                    @George-K I think it will be more dynamic. He'll probably have lower ratings day-to-day but certain segments will go heavily viral and get many more than he got at Fox.

                            Plus, Twitter's full of woke echo chambers. It'd be a good move.

                                CNN hired a person who fully thinks and believes that Tucker Carlson is a right wing extremist. Whatever that means. To them.

                                Meanwhile, Tucker is probably a thousand times more reasonable and considerate, than the person who labeled him a right wing extremist.

                                        You mistake me for someone who actually cares what the likes of you think.

                                        And yes, from what I have read that fucker, Carlson, is a veteran Deadhead of innumerable Grateful Dead concerts. I don’t hold that against him.

                                        Elbows up!
