Just when you thought you had heard everything…. On Wednesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article that illustrates how far the mainstream media has wandered from the concept of informing the American people.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

NBC\u2019s Tom Costello worried Tuesday that Daily Caller co-founder and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson will not be policed for his speech on his new show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlson<\/a> announced<\/a> Tuesday that his show will air exclusively on Twitter going forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs of tonight, there aren\u2019t many platforms left that allow free speech,\u201d Carlson<\/a> said in his announcement video. \u201cThe last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now. Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops. Twitter is not a partisan site \u2013 everybody\u2019s allowed here, and we think that\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlson<\/a> said his show will air \u201csoon.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Costello grew animated over the news during Tuesday night\u2019s segment of \u201cHallie Jackson NOW.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, well listen, Twitter was already under fire for misinformation, disinformation, all-out lies, anti-Semitism [and] racism before Elon Musk took over, and now it\u2019s gotten kind of crazy \u2014 seemingly unmoored, if you will. Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says, or is this the point? It\u2019s just a free for all?\u201d he wondered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twitter is a bit of a free-for-all right now, but that is good. It provides readers with a lot of information that they can evaluate. The interesting part of the article was former CNN host Brian Stelter stating that Tucker Carlson was a drag on Fox News’ profits. Well, that’s an interesting comment. Despite having the second most-watched show on Cable TV in 2022, Tucker Carlson’s show was not very profitable. Why? Because of a massive email and calling campaign by the political left threatening to boycott Tucker Carlson’s advertisers. The campaign was successful, and Tucker Carlson lost his first-tier advertisers. So what Brian Stelter said was true, but he forgot to mention the reason behind it.<\/p>\n
