Commentary: Camera Captures Major Detail at End of Tucker’s Show—‘The Guy Is a One-of-a-Kind Genius’

Tucker Carlson’s success beyond Fox News is not in the least surprising. The former talk show host garnered more than 70 million views in less than 24 hours of the debut of his new online show “Tucker on Twitter.”

And contributing to further enjoyment, Tucker’s unprecedented viewership has left former CNN host Brian Stelter with an even more pronounced pucker from the sour grapes.

This from westernjournal.com.

Since numbers don’t lie, Stelter had to pick on something else to mock the groundbreaking broadcast, which some conservatives claim “broke the media matrix.”

Stelter picked up on the fact that Tucker was using a teleprompter controller to run his own prompter while on the show, having tweeted:

Notice his right hand in the wide shot: He’s using a TelePrompTer controller to run the prompter himself.

While an astute observation, Stelter’s tweet did not have the effect he intended it to.

His catty comment was meant, I assume, to draw attention to the fact that Tucker most likely has a small crew and budget for this new venture, unlike his days on the well-produced Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox.

What most likely escaped Stelter is the fact that Tucker on Twitter is not like one of the highly controlled big network productions—and that is exactly the point.

This is what Tucker wants.

And this is what We the American People all want.

As Brandon Strake put it:

The guy is a one-of-a-kind genius.

A genius who understands what We the American People want.

The dramatic rise of Fox News since its inception in 1996 was primarily because it filled a void, offering “fair and balanced” journalism without the filters of the leftist agenda.

Unfortunately, over time, the network succumbed to the pressures of the corporate world with increasingly produced news shows tightly controlled by media executives and influenced by advertisers.

Tucker offered us what conservative viewers have always wanted:

The plain and simple truth and the respect from those who bring us the news to allow us to make up our own minds. Nothing more. [And nothing less.]

Conservative political commentator, Benny Johnson, explained the genius behind Tucker’s new format perfectly.

He tweeted:

Tucker broke the corporate media monopoly matrix tonight & it’s never coming back. Tucker uploaded a 10 min monologue. No ads or interruptions. No pricy subscriptions. Watch on demand. The result? – 17M views – 90K RTs – 25K comments In under 180 mins We are the media now.

At the end of his first Tucker On Twitter broadcast, Tucker made it clear that he did not intend to be controlled, comparing his show to a “short-wave radio under the blankets.”

Tucker said:

We are told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave.

It remains to be seen if the powers that be will allow Tucker to continue to share his refreshing brand of truthful journalism.

The corporate wheels have begun turning, and Fox News has already started legal proceedings against their former star for breach of contract.

The undeniable fact remains that American viewers are increasingly seeing through and rejecting the polished facades of mainstream news shows and turning to less-produced, more honest reporting.

If Tucker on Twitter survives, it has the power to awaken millions of sleeping Americans and unveil the truth behind the curtain.

Final thought: For Tucker and for We the American People, let us hope and pray this simple, honest format masterfully succeeds.
