Tucker Carlson Is Having The Last Laugh
Because Mainstream Media Is Now So Irrelevant They Can’t Hide It

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson released a video confirming he’s going to conduct an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the internet exploded. Half exploded in outrage, the other half in glee.
That’s how much influence Tucker currently has. And the people who put him where he is today only now realize what they’ve done to themselves.
I’ve spent all day watching one Fake News Mockingbird Big Brother talking head after another shrieking in high holy horror and impotent outrage over the fact they can neither stop Tucker Carlson from interviewing Putin nor prevent billions of people from watching the interview once it goes up on Tucker’s social media.
This would always be the biggest drawback of expelling Tucker from their midst at Fox News. At least while he was there, they had some level of control over his content. He could conduct an interview, and then the suits at Murdoch, Inc. could order it not to be put on the air, as was the case with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund.
Now, they have no control over Tucker or his content at all.
They thought that by casting Carlson into exile, they were solving a problem. They were reasserting complete narrative control.
They were wrong.
The ‘problem’ Tucker caused them is now over 1,000 times greater than when he had the most watched news program in the country on the Fox News network.
Carlson resurfaced a year ago after his highly-publicized ouster from Fox News by announcing on Twitter [now called ‘X’] that he would be starting his news show on the social media platform.
Initially, the same power players in the mainstream media who’d all greatly relished covering Carlson’s departure from Fox derisively dismissed this announcement with a snort.
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox are on hundreds of stations nationwide, with large, impressive headquarters buildings filled with thousands of employees, broadcasting facilities with cameras and satellites, and so on.
And this arrogant dumbass with delusions of grandeur was going to ‘compete’ with that? By recording videos of himself with a small crew in an office somewhere?
Sure, they laughed him off at first. But they’re not laughing now. Because he IS doing it, he’s not only competing with them, he’s been kicking their asses.
They’ve spent the last ten months or so watching with mounting incredulous horror as Tucker put up interviews that garnered views in the hundreds of millions.
They got their first inkling of how much of a problem Carlson would be for their narrative control when he re-interviewed Sund for his new X news program.
One of the big reasons Fox News had for firing Carlson when they did was to prevent the airing of the original Sund interview because the former police chief was helping to expose the truth about the January 6 Fedsurrection.
For the past 11 months, X Tucker has done an extensive series of interviews that are directly countering many of the conventional narratives pushed by the Fake News propaganda outlets. And the view counts of many of those video interviews have been astonishing. It’s readily apparent that more people than ever are now seeing Tucker’s journalism on Fox.
He’s been directly exposing and countering their most cherished false narratives, and now he’s going right at The Big One.
No Fake News narratives have been as enthusiastically and relentlessly pushed by the mainstream media for the past two years as the ones involving the Ukraine war.
This is a big reason why all the Western propaganda outlets instantly began to shriek like banshees the moment they heard this interview between Carlson and Putin was coming.
Foreign policy ‘experts’ who aided and abetted the rampant lying about Russia and the Ukraine conflict for the past two years also spoke up to get their outrage on the record:
This outraged caterwauling is incoherent because none of these people can plainly state why they’re all so agitated. Tucker scored this interview because he’s no longer one of THEM.
See, it’s okay when one of THEM, a ‘real journalist’ [whatever the hell that is], interviews Putin. Because when it’s one of THEM doing the interview, they can ensure that only the ‘right’ questions are asked, and the Fake News propaganda outlets are in complete control of the editing and the presentation of the interview to the public.
A lot of time, effort, and resources have gone into hiding the truth about Russia, Putin, and Ukraine from the American public over the past two years.
All that effort, all those resources, and lies…are now placed in direct jeopardy.
By Tucker Carlson.
And that’s a beautiful thing.
