Tucker Brilliantly Trolls Corporate Media Right On Their Front Doorsteps
In an audacious move, Tucker Carlson is shaking up the media landscape by deploying Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) trucks right at the doorsteps of major news organizations like The New York Times, CNN, and The Washington Post.
TCN is the latest venture by the renowned broadcaster. Positioned as a streaming platform, it aims to offer exclusive content crafted by Tucker Carlson himself.
“Corporate media is dead,” the trucks’ advertisements read alongside an image of Carlson.

The motivation behind TCN’s inception is a bold critique of current Western news media. The network’s founders say that news coverage has transformed into a mechanism of oppression and control. According to them, reporters have strayed from their duty to disclose vital information, instead choosing to conceal it.

They accuse journalists of acting as censors for the powerful and harboring disdain for the public, to the extent of despising the truth.

The network suggests that in such an environment, voters are left in the dark about their choices, leading to widespread manipulation and resentment among the population. This, they claim, leads to societal unrest and deterioration.
TCN has positioned itself as the antidote to this ‘propaganda spiral.’ They advocate for a journalistic approach that is unflinching and transparent, focusing on telling the truth about critical issues without fear. Their mission, as they state, is to adhere to this approach consistently, regardless of the challenges that might arise. With this bold strategy, Carlson and TCN are setting the stage for a new chapter in media coverage, one where they claim truth and clarity will reign supreme.
As digital platforms continue to disrupt traditional media, figures like Carlson are finding new ways to connect with their audiences, often bypassing the established norms of broadcasting and journalism.
Shortly after his dismissal from Fox News, Elon Musk reached out to Carlson with a proposition. He explained, “Elon called me and said, ‘You should just bring the whole operation to X. Not for pay, but just use it like anyone else would, with the guarantee that he’s made to everyone that this is not gonna be governed by censorship and you can say what you think, as long as you’re not committing a crime.'”
Carlson, once known for his record-breaking viewership on Fox News, experienced a dramatic shift in his career after the unexpected ouster from the network earlier this year. In a candid interview, Carlson shared how he was saved by an offer from Musk, the influential entrepreneur and CEO of companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and now X.
“I don’t know if you’ve been fired before, but this happened to me a couple firings ago where there’s this moment where you’re like, well, I guess I’ll just go fishing, you know what I mean? Or something else that’s not healthy and you lose your momentum and then you’re like, what am I doing with my life?”
Carlson explained, “You really have to find, at least if you’re me, another form of revenue and the most obvious is subscription because you’re invulnerable. It’s a fortress. They can’t d*ck with you at that point, and that’s of paramount importance to me because I’ve been d*cked with a lot.”
