In a video posted to his Twitter page, Carlson announced that he would be bringing a new version of his show to the platform, along with other exciting developments. Musk confirmed that the two had talked about having Carlson do a show on Twitter, but that he would be subject to the same rules and rewards as all content creators.<\/p>\n<h3>The Media Meltdown Begins<\/h3>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the media meltdowns have commenced accordingly, with the usual suspects incensed over the fact that Carlson refuses to be silenced and that his destination of choice was Twitter, where Musk has rolled out the red carpet. NBC News \u201cjournalist\u201d Thomas Costello and fired former CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter engaged in fretting and handwringing over whether Carlson would be able to speak his mind on the platform, with Stelter suggesting that Carlson would not be able to make any money on the platform because he was allegedly \u201cradioactive\u201d to advertisers.<\/p>\n<h3>Carlson Will Break the Establishment Media<\/h3>\n<p>However, the idea that Carlson is unlikely to make millions off of continuing to speak his mind via whatever platform he chooses is ridiculous. As RedState colleague Teri Christoph explained, the sky is the limit for Carlson as he is about to \u201cbreak the establishment media\u201d with his next move, which will also allow him to bring in tons of money in the process. He\u2019ll make much, much more by taking his show to Twitter, which opens up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indiana-lawmakers-crack-down-on-bail-charities-after-grisly-murders\/\" title=\"Indiana Lawmakers Crack Down on Bail Charities After Grisly Murders\">multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amazon-reinstates-book-critical-of-trans-identity-for-children-after-claiming-to-have-banned-it-in-error\/\" title=\"Amazon Reinstates Book Critical Of Trans Identity For Children After Claiming To Have Banned It In \u2018Error\u2019\">revenue streams<\/a><\/a> for him. It\u2019s a model that could easily be replicated by others, with top cover being provided by Elon Musk himself. And it\u2019s a model that would be a reckoning for the establishment media, with all<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-melts-down-following-tuckers-move-to-twitter\/\" title=\"Tucker's Twitter move causes media meltdown.\">-important ad dollars leaving cable<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/behind-the-scenes-at-bidens-bizarre-press-conference\/\" title=\"Behind The Scenes At Biden\u2019s Bizarre Press Conference\">broadcast news<\/a> and migrating to independent platforms and creators.<\/p>\n<h3>The Pot Calling the Kettle Black<\/h3>\n<p>The media figures who are yelling about \u201cdisinformation, misinformation, lies, and chaos\u201d all work for networks that routinely engage in that very thing, and who have also experienced an exodus of advertisers. The pretzels they\u2019re contorting themselves into to proclaim Carlson\u2019s reach won\u2019t be near as vast and his revenue streams will be severely limited are hilarious. They\u2019re trying so hard to cope and declare Carlson \u201cover\u201d because they know they can\u2019t control him and can\u2019t stop him, and it drives them absolutely bananas.<\/p>\n<p>Bless their hearts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news Tuesday that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson would be taking his show to Twitter after discussions with the platform\u2019s CEO, Elon Musk, was undoubtedly the absolute last thing Carlson\u2019s (and Musk\u2019s!) infamous haters on the left and in the Media World wanted to hear. \u201cStarting soon, we\u2019ll be bringing a new version<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1929562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[4188,5888,25136,4253],"class_list":["post-1929561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-media","tag-meltdown","tag-tuckers","tag-twitter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1929561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1929561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1929561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1929562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1929561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1929561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1929561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
