Twitter has apparently figured out a way to become even more toxic: Host a Tucker Carlson show on the platform.
The recently fired Fox News star on Tuesday announced in a Twitter post that he will “soon” relaunch his primetime program on the Elon Musk-owned platform.In the nearly three-minute video, Carlson launches into a diatribe against the news media, definitively declaring, “The news you consume is a lie.
“You can’t have a free society if people aren’t allowed to say what they think is true. Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy,” Carlson said. “That’s why it’s enshrined in the first of our constitutional amendments. Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world. The only one is Twitter, where we are now.”
Carlson did not give a timetable for when his show will reboot, but his website has been updated to remove all Fox News videos and to add new merch. “TUCKER IS BACK,” reads one banner on the website’s homepage. The video also follows a coordinated campaign by some famous Carlson allies to pressure Fox to release him from his contract and allow him to get him back in front of an audience before the 2024 audience, as ConfiderCarlson’s new destination marks a win for CEO Elon Musk, who has long sought to turn the platform into a supposedly unvarnished “free speech” haven—even as he has blocked and censored accounts, keywords, and organizations he does not like.
