The Facts
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has launched a streaming service, called the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), offering subscriptions of $9 per month or $72 per year. In addition to films and short-form content, the service will offer three shows with new episodes each week: "The Tucker Carlson Encounter," which will be accessible without a subscription; "Tucker Carlson Uncensored;" and "Ask Tucker," where subscribers can ask questions.
In a video posted to X on Saturday — the platform formerly called Twitter and where Carlson has been streaming interviews since he left Fox in April — Carlson said he's spent the majority of the last year working on interviews and other content for the website, tuckercarlson.com. He also joked that "time flies when you're unemployed."
The Spin
Left narrative
Tucker Carlson isn't the truth-to-power media rebel he claims the be. In reality, he's the man who made Fox News lose a defamation case over Dominion Voting Systems. Now, he's launching a media company to prop up conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. Carlson has and continues to profit off of tragedy and lies. It remains to be seen how successful his company will be with such volatile content.
Right narrative
The establishment media, whether on the left or the right, doesn't understand that Tucker understands his audience better than they do. He understands the growing demand for uncensored political content from younger people, as well as the need to cover both the traditional short-form news show audience alongside the younger long-form audience. In doing so, Tucker is shining a light on voices no one else will. This streaming venture shows all the signs of being a massive success.
