It’s only been two weeks since Fox News canceled their top rated White Nationalist host, Tucker Carlson<\/a><\/strong>. But Carlson hasn’t been wasting any time engineering his comeback. He’s surely cognizant of the descent into wingnut oblivion that engulfed his predecessors Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck.<\/p>\n

\"Tucker<\/p>\n

It only took Carlson three days to post a video reaching out to his cult followers after his Fox downfall. However, that video was conspicuously devoid of any substance. It didn’t mention his Fox News, or his firing, or his next job. It was a hollow cry for attention that looked as if he had been muzzled by Fox<\/a><\/strong> and either afraid or unable to speak candidly. But that didn’t stop him from attacking Fox when he thought no one was listening…<\/p>\n

This weekend Carlson reportedly went further, threatening to wage an all out war against his former employer if they didn’t release him from contractual commitments to refrain from competing with or disparaging Fox. According to Axios<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Tucker Carlson is preparing to unleash allies to attack Fox News in an effort to bully the network into letting him work for – or start – a right-wing rival, sources close to him tell Axios.<\/p>\n

“Bryan Freedman, the high-powered Hollywood lawyer Carlson retained for the contract dispute, told Axios: ‘The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous.’ […] But he needs Fox to let him out of his contract, which expires in January 2025 \u2014 after the presidential election.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carlson’s lawyer’s contradiction is “beyond preposterous.”<\/em> If Carlson “needs Fox to let him out of his contract,”<\/em> then he is actually letting Fox “silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience.”<\/em> And Fox has good reason to do so, considering that a Carlson confidant says that Carlson “knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and is ready to start drawing a map.”<\/em> To which a nation hungry for just such a a media melodrama shouts “Bring it on, Tucker!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Axios also reported that “Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together.”<\/em> Which affirms that Musk, despite his disingenuous claims of being a centrist, is staunchly aligned with Carlson’s brand of White Nationalism.<\/p>\n

In addition to his budding relationship with Musk, Carlson is also pursing tighted relations with Donald Trump. The Washington Post published a reported that Carlson…<\/p>\n

“…wants to moderate his own GOP candidate forum, outside of the usual strictures of the Republican National Committee debate system. The idea, which he has discussed with Donald Trump, the front-runner for the party nomination, would test his vaunted sway over conservative politics. And it would take a jab at his former employer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carlson does have plenty of family money, so he can sacrifice some his unpaid Fox compensation in order to satiate his craving for relevance and attention. And by doing so he will burn any bridges that might remain between him and Fox, a network that he once described as “a mean, sick group of people.”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> But if he thinks that trading down to Trump and Musk is going to be his pathway to media mega-stardom, he’s going to be sorely disappointed.<\/p>\n

Trump’s star fell when he launched his pitifully failing Twitter scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. And Musk seems hell bent on destroying what’s left of Twitter. But the three of them should enjoy each other’s company as they try to blast their hateful prejudices out to the shrinking population of deplorables who still give a damn what they say.<\/p>\n
