Tucker Carlson is bringing a new version of his defunct TV show to Twitter, after being unexpectedly fired from Fox News last month.Carlson, 53, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share the news in a lengthy video, in which he claims that mainstream media outlets are all «thinly disguised propaganda outlets.»«Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Tucker Carlson is out at 8 p.m. on Fox News Channel, and the network hopes that a host of blue-chip advertisers that for years avoided his controversial hour will soon come back in.

Procter & Gamble, one of the nation’s largest and most influential advertisers, has been running ads in “Fox News Tonight,” the network’s new 8 p.m. program, for female-skewing products like Venus razor blades by Gillette and Secret underarm deodorant.

William Earl Tucker Carlson, the recently-axed Fox News host, sent a text to a producer which was the beginning of the end of his relationship with the network, according to a New York Times report. The cruel and racist text was redacted from court filings submitted as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News, which resulted in the conservative network settling for $787.5 million dollars. The text, which was sent on Jan. 7, 2021, hours after Trump supporters attacked the United States Capitol, described a scene Carlson found distressing, in which he said “Trump guys” beat up an “Antifa kid.” But the part that upset him was that “it was three against one,” and “it’s not how white men fight.”

new bombshell text sent by ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson was published by The New York Times on Tuesday that reportedly was the catalyst to his ouster from the network in which he spewed more of his racist vitriol.

Tucker Carlson is breaking his silence.

Tucker Carlson is firing back after he was let go from Fox News earlier this week. In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, Carlson officially broke his silence for the first time since the surprising ouster and dropped clues about where his career could be headed next. «One of the first things you realize, when you step outside the noise for a few days, is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country and decent people who really care about what's true,» Carlson began, adding that «the other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.
