Tucker Carlson has been a controversial figure in the media world for quite some time, but his video statement after leaving Fox News has made him an even bigger star. In less than 24 hours, the video had been viewed more than 18 million times, six times the amount of viewers he had for his show.
Carlson’s popularity certainly hasn’t taken a hit so the joke seems to be on Fox here.
The video, which was just over two minutes long, focused on Carlson’s newfound freedom and the discovery of how genuinely kind, generous, and hilarious people can be in the real world. The response to the video has been overwhelming, with many people praising Carlson’s message and his ability to tell the truth.

It’s no surprise that Carlson’s video has been so widely viewed and that it has resonated with so many people. Fox News had become a place where truth, facts, and accountability were often ignored in favor of sensationalism and “alternative facts.” Carlson’s departure from the network has opened up a whole new world of possibility and has given people the opportunity to hear from someone who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.
It’s also telling that Carlson’s video has been more widely viewed than the Academy Awards in 2023. This is a sign that people are ready for a new kind of media, one that isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and that isn’t afraid to speak truth to power.
15 million views on the video & 45 on the tweet. Legacy media will do everything in its power to make sure Tucker has no voice through 2024…
Just watch… also note who has his back & who doesn’t!!! A silenced Tucker is a uniparty/warmonger/deep-state/globalists dream come true https://t.co/btVeYsOKpx

Carlson’s video has been a reminder that there are still people in the media world who are willing to take a stand and speak up for what they believe in. His message has resonated with millions of people, and it shows that there is still an appetite for honest, thoughtful, and thought-provoking journalism.
It remains to be seen if Carlson will capitalize on the success of his video and use it as a platform to launch his own media empire. But it’s clear that his message has struck a chord with many people and that they’re ready to hear more from him. So, only time will tell.
