A video posted by Tucker Carlson to his Twitter page beat his old Fox News Channel time slot within the first hour.
On Monday, Fox News executives announced that they were parting ways with Carlson, who consistently scored the highest-rated show on the network and beat all major media competitors like CNN and MSNBC in the prime time 8:00 p.m. time slot.
Carlson took to Twitter on Wednesday evening, posting a video of himself giving a monologue about the establishment media’s framework and how pundits work with Washington, DC, lawmakers in both political parties to suppress opinions among Americans on the “undeniably big topics” facing the United States.
Within the first hour of Carlson’s posting to Twitter, the video received some 1.8 million views — more than the 1.7 million views that his old Fox News time slot at 8:00 p.m. got the night before.
