Tucker Carlson announces he is ‘relaunching his show’ on TWITTER

Tucker Carlson has announced he’s relaunching his show on Twitter — just two weeks after being fired from Fox News.

The ousted television host made the announcement in a three-minute video posted to his Twitter page on Tuesday, lashing out at the mainstream media, saying anyone who tries to tell the truth “will be fired.”

“The best you can hope for in the news world right now is the freedom to tell the fullest truth you can, but there are always limits,” Carlson told his fans.

“If you run into those limits often enough, you’ll get fired for it. That’s not a guess, that’s guaranteed.’

He posted the video along with a tweet saying, “We’re back.”

Sources close to Carlson have previously said the former FOX News host is preparing for a “war” against the network as he fights to be released from his $25 million-a-year contract that prevented him from joining rival networks. close or start one of its own networks. .

But the network says it won’t change its programming even if viewers flock to the conservative news station.

In his video on Tuesday, Carlson lashed out at the mainstream media — and took aim at his former employer for his sudden layoff last month.

‘You often hear people say that the news is full of lies, but that is usually not entirely true,’ he begins. “Most of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is literally true.

“But that doesn’t make it true,” he said.

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie—a lie of the most inconspicuous and insidious kind.”

Carlson went on to say that the mainstream media misleads people “in every story that matters, every day of the week, every week of the year,” saying that after more than 30 years in the news industry, he “can tell you stories .’

“The best you can hope for in the news world right now is the freedom to tell the fullest truth you can, but there are always limits,” he said.

“If you run into those limits often enough, you’ll get fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed,” he said in a thinly veiled reference to his sudden impeachment.

He then went on to say that the system is “dirty” and “totally corrupt.”

“You can’t have a free society if people aren’t allowed to say what they think is true,” Carlson said. ‘Speech is the fundamental condition of democracy.

“Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms that allow free speech,” he continued. “The last big one left in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.

“Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation breeds and evolves,” he said. ‘Twitter is not a partisan site, everyone is welcome here and we think that’s a good thing.’

But, he said, the “media gatekeepers are still in charge,” and he hopes to change that.

“Soon we will be bringing to Twitter a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years,” Carlson finally announced, promising more information to come.
