As Twitchy readers know, Tucker Carlson shocked the social media world when his post-firing video went viral, amassing over 81 million views, as of today.
At the time, many were quick to point out that Twitter and Carlson were a match made in heaven. Between Elon Musk’s crusade for free speech, goal of Twitter becoming the modern source for news, and Carlson’s like-mindedness and penchant for telling exactly what he thinks, it’s a perfect marriage.
We don’t know if there is any specific deal in the works (there probably is), but Tucker Carlson released yet another video today saying Twitterfying his show is exactly what he’s doing.
Can we get an Amen?!

Carlson describes the media manipulation most of us have been aware of decades: often technically accurate reporting with lies of omission. Blatant bias is easy to spot, and we see our fair share of that, but this technique is much more subtle, manipulative, and prevalent.
He goes on to claim that anyone who pushes up against the limits of what they’re allowed to say too many times will be fired. It sounds to us like he’s revealing a bit about what really happened to his relationship with Fox News.
‘Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.’
This is going to be good.

This could be a watershed moment for legacy media … one they will live to regret.
Wow. Twitter x Tucker. Looking forward to seeing this.

Those who are paying attention realize we can’t give an inch on our right to speak freely. The Left is really going to hate this.

Bwahaha!
We deserve the truth—thrilled that you will be bringing your show to Twitter!
We need more good men + women who stand up to tyranny + tell the truth — without an agenda, without influencing a story by withholding facts.
Good luck, @TuckerCarlson! This battle is worth the fight.
— Liberty Belle (@iLibertyBelle) May 9, 2023
Agreed. We need everyone to be able to tell the truth, as they see it. We can decide from there who we believe.
The mainstream media will never ever recover from this. Ever.

We think we just felt a thrill going up our leg.
We need more truth-tellers exposing the leftist media and big tech.
Looking forward to the show.

Yes, we do, and Brent would know!

People are more than a little excited.

Yes, it’s exactly like that. LOL.
We're organizing an immediate Congressional Hearing to stop this before it causes any more freedom.

Ha! MSNBC finally beats Fox News and they’re soon going to be upstaged by Tucker Twitter.
Huge news. Tucker is bringing his show to Twitter. I’m feeling very good about our decision to post our podcast to Twitter a few weeks ago. This will become a major movement now. Forget YouTube. This is the free speech platform. https://t.co/3H8G1MVzdt

We felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in elation and were suddenly no longer silenced.
Okay…..
Let's do this, @TuckerCarlson .

It’s like a party out here. It’s a real shame for the libs who had some other lukewarm celebration going on that nobody cares about already. LOL.
