Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.
He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...
Bingo. They foolishly believe that removing an internet platform will shut a man up.
The truth is that it spills into reality.
See “Handsome Truth” as part of the Goyum Defense League as an example.
Unfortunately, I think they know what they are doing. They don't care about shutting you up. They care about so marginalizing you that you're not heard by anyone except those who already agree with you.
Tucker was dangerous because he was telling the truth to boomer Republicans who normally support everything GOP politicians tell them to support. So he had to go (if he was forced out).
This is absolutely correct.
The audience that will watch a online Tucker podcast is not going to be the same as the cable TV news mainstream audience.
Tucker's show on Fox had immense value for getting certain key right wing ideas into the mainstream Overton window.
This is what they wanted to end and they actually achieved it.
This is a net loss for anyone who believes in conservatism, right wing policies, nationalism, populism and America first policies.
This. It's hard to understand how people continuously fail to get that, in order for the right to "win" here, they have to reach more than just the people that are already firmly on their side. Stuff like Tucker, O'Reilly, and Rush - as much as they are known for being just "right-wing blowhards", at least had some ability to reach people in the middle; some ability to reach people who weren't actively following politics.
Now, in the span of two elections, all three are gone. The left has near uncontested ability to set the narrative, and indoctrinate the middle. The more time passes, the more they entrench themselves.
Yup. Regime-controlled media only. If you told anyone in 2016 that they'd be criminally prosecuting memes on the internet and banning the most successful political show on TV they'd call you a conspiracy theorist. But it's true.
Complete censorship is coming.
