Tucker Carlson unchained is not only proving to be a lot more fun than corporate-controlled Tucker Carlson, it’s beginning to look like he may turn out to be corporate media’s worst nightmare.
The former Fox News host just launched his own subscription-based streaming platform and he took the fight directly to the doorsteps of his competition when, as reported by the Daily Mail, “he organized mobile billboard trucks with his image on the sides, emblazoned with ‘corporate media is dead,’ parked outside of the HQs of MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times in Washington and Manhattan.”
“They’re doomed,” Carlson told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview this week.

“And on some level, they know they’re doomed, which is why they’re hysterical,” he added. “The era of dominance by a few big media companies, the era of total control over all information by you know, nine people, that’s done.”
Carlson was ousted at Fox News after the network settled a $1.6 billion lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems and he’s looking to take on some of the biggest offenders of media malpractice with his $72-a-year direct-to-consumer streaming service at TuckerCarlson.com.
“It’s important. We’re not doing it out of cruelty and hope we’re not rubbing this in anyone’s face or making the people who still work there feel bad, but they’re doomed,” he declared.
In a video clip plugging his new site, Carlson explained that he has been busy since being let go at Fox News, “working in secret” to produce “an awful lot of material for months now — interviews, et cetera — and all of it has now found its way” to his website.
The sign-up page on the website states: “It’s time to build an alternative to legacy media, and you can help us do it. It’s time they stopped hiding the truth from you. We’ll expose them together.”
“It’s done because they misused their monopoly. You need new institutions to fill that smoking crater left by lying news organizations,” Carlson told the British newspaper.
Carlson said The New York Times has “no moral authority remaining” and that they are now “speaking to a tiny audience of narcissists who lack self-awareness.” He also predicted NBC News would be dead in ten years.
“I’ve gotten lots of things wrong in my life, but I try to admit it – it doesn’t diminish me to admit it,” he said after stating that it “enrages” him that the legacy media has lied to the public and are “refusing to admit it.”
“They all lied, and they got caught lying repeatedly, and they never apologize for it,” Carlson insisted. “And if you do that often enough, your audience doesn’t believe you.”
“All interesting conversation takes place in independent media. There hasn’t been an interesting or true thought expressed on the Today Show in a generation. And everybody knows that,” he said. “When they do die, and it’s coming soon, I won’t mourn their passing. They deserve every bit of what’s happening to them.”
As for Fox News, Carlson made it clear that he believes he was “mistreated” by network officials but is “a lot happier” now.
“Fox News did a lot for me and gave me a platform for 14 years,” he said. “They were kind to me, the Murdochs were kind to me every minute I worked there, and not one time did they tell me what to think or say. Not one time were they anything but elaborately polite to me.”
“I will always appreciate that. And I don’t care what happens next,” he continued. “There are people there I think mistreated me or I don’t respect or whatever, but I don’t want to whine about it. In the end, I’m a lot happier and I’m just I’m grateful for the experience and I’m not gonna attack them. I’m glad that I’m doing this.”
