This is big, folks. Matthew Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, has obtained behind-the-scenes footage of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson slamming the network’s online streaming service, Fox Nation. It would be more shocking had Carlson slammed Fox Nation on the air and not behind the scenes in a video that was never meant to be seen, but MMFA takes what they can get. Meanwhile, CNN hyped up its own online subscription service, CNN+, which was taken down in less than one month by its new owners because it cost too much and no one was watching it. At least Carlson is being honest — if you want something seen, put it on Fox News.

We’re not sure where the “gotcha” is here.

He’s right the site does suck to use.

Tucker is 100% correct. The fox nation app is terrible. I went several times to find a program and left in frustration when unable to do so. This doesn’t make him look bad. He’s right.

This is obnoxiously irrelevant.

I’m sorry this is happening to you.

Uh, is this supposed to make Tucker look bad, because

Is this supposed to make him look bad? Cause I actually think it does the opposite.
He seems like a great person to work for!

You really got him this time, Matt!
Who among us doesn't like non-functioning websites?

Imagine making hot content to go on a garbage site? Fair criticism, fix yourselves @foxnation

I ended my subscription about a year ago. At the time it was a bad app to navigate around.

this isn’t the “got him” that you think it is, beta.

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? He just says the website doesn’t function well.

Exactly the type conversation you would expect in this situation. And he's right. Fox Nation had good content, but is difficult to use. Tucker is respectful & makes sense. If someone thought this made him look bad, then they were mistaken.

Wow, Tucker is a real journalist and hated how Fox was handling things. What a scoop. You're basically advertising for Tucker with this.

FOXLEAKS: Tucker Carlson gives honest opinion…
— Jose Castillo (@JoseForFlorida) May 1, 2023
Tucker's criticism of Fox Nation is accurate, and Media Matters sucks far worse than that across the board.

Earth shattering news you got there,Matt. You should be lining up for all kinds of awards for this!
— TimH1776 (@TimHawthorne8) May 1, 2023
Not exactly a smoking gun. Seem like a resonble criticism.
— Jennifer 🧢 (@CaramicoT) May 1, 2023
This is perfectly legitimate criticism. Such conversations happen with talent all the time. https://t.co/2M5A5NL6ob

I’m having trouble seeing the controversy here. If this is the best they got, what a joke
— MisterYano (@RyanOin360) May 1, 2023
Why is this a problem? I am expected to provide suggestions/criticism if something at my workplace isn't effective.
— I Love Peetza (@Ilovepeetza) May 1, 2023
Just proves to me that Tucker has high standards on his production material and apparently Fox Nation isnt doing their part.
— Sandi Kear (@SandiKear) May 1, 2023
A lot of people in the replies are saying they’re 100 percent sure this is a “deep fake,” which we suppose it could be. Again, though, we don’t see the controversy — Carlson made specials for Fox Nation and was frustrated that the website made them so hard to find and view. Maybe if one person at CNN had told the truth about CNN+ they wouldn’t have poured millions and millions down the drain.
