OUR Tucker Carlson announced that he would be launching a new show that would air through Twitter. A well-known presenter and “face” of the American media giant for many years. Fox News posted a video on Tuesday detailing his next steps with the caption “We’re back.” Carlson said that will move his show to Twitteras it is “the last platform in the world” on which there is freedom of speech.

The host did not give details, but promised “a new version of the show that we have been doing for the past six and a half years.” He did not say when the show is expected to begin airing. In addition, in his short video, he supported one of the positions that he has repeatedly expressed in the past: the so-called mainstream media is full of propaganda and lies. “Twitter is not a party platform, everyone is allowed here, and we think it’s good,” he said. “And yet, the news you see on Twitter usually comes from media organizations that don’t even hide the fact that they are propagandists,” he added.

The host’s show on the platform comes at a time when the environment is becoming more friendly towards conservative accounts that have been banned.

Carlson was fired from Fox News a few weeks ago after his private messages were leaked, alarming the channel’s management. In those days, Fox was additionally forced to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million in damages for the defamation that Carlson contributed the most to.

Carlson’s pivot to Twitter comes at a time when the environment is becoming more friendly to conservative accounts previously banned for spreading hate speech after its acquisition. Elon Musk. The billionaire took over the site in October 2022 and immediately allowed accounts such as his to be returned. Donald Trump. Carlson did not mention Musk in his video.

Musk, a self-described “free speech absolutist,” tweeted Tuesday: “We haven’t signed any agreements. Tucker is subject to the same rules and obligations as all content creators.”
