Tucker Carlson, a journalist recently fired from Fox News, intends to organize a debate involving Republican candidates for the presidency of the United States. The former TV presenter has already discussed his idea with former President Donald Trump. This is reported on the American website Breitbart News.
These debates will be broadcast on the air of other channels, but under the control of Tucker Carlson.
It is noted that Donald Trump is not going to participate in the debates of Republican candidates, since today his rating is 60 percent and the gap from his rivals is huge. The ex-president sees no point in debating with Desantis, Pensom and Haley.
“Tucker is perhaps the only one who could convince Trump to participate in the debate. Tucker’s last Fox News interview was with Trump.” – the article says.
According to Breitbart News, Tucker Carlson wants to get hold of the second most popular right-wing TV channel in the United States – Newsmax. They promise a popular journalist the opportunity to shape the entire television network for themselves, and even offer to rename Newsmax itself under “Carlson’s personal brand.”
It should be noted that today the channel Newsmax is already stepping on the heels of CNN. As for Fox News, which lost Tucker, it lost almost half of its audience in the last week – 45 percent – and for the first time in history lost in ratings to the liberal channel MSNBC. It is predicted that a further outflow of Fox News viewers is ensured: it is unlikely that his leadership will be able to find the leading level of Carlson.
Rumor has it that Tucker is also interested Elon Muskwho needs a director at Twitter. The journalist and the businessman, by the way, are friends. It is noted that this appointment, if it happens, will cause a real uproar among liberal users of the social network.
“One thing is clear: leaving Fox News was a unique opportunity for Tucker to open up new career opportunities,” — stated in the article.
As reported EADaily, the American television channel Fox News, whose management fired the popular TV presenter Tucker Carlson, lost 700,000 viewers. The first broadcast was Brian Kilmid, and, according to TVNewser, it attracted 2.6 million viewers. Carlson had an average of 3.3 million. Thus, the drop in the number of television audiences was 700 thousand, or 21.3%.
The network said that Carlson’s Fox News Tonight program would run with different hosts until a permanent replacement was found.
