| Schlichter: Struck Down, Tucker Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine |
| 2023-04-27 |
| [Townhall] Tucker Carlson is neither down nor out; he is going to come back bigger and badder than ever. All you goofy virgins who love “Star Wars” will recall that when Darth Vader sliced Obi-Wan Kenobi in two – or at least his moth-eaten cloak – Ben stopped existing in this dimension and became a superbeing who popped in for a chat whenever Luke was in trouble. Tucker’s pretty much going to do that for the movement. Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this denouement went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders. Fox, on the other hand, will face some challenges (Full Disclosure: I occasionally guest on Fox shows and I have done hits with Tucker). It does not absolutely own the conservatives today, if it ever did. The regime media and the leftists do not understand that a lot of conservatives have been annoyed with Fox for quite a while – these cons think Fox is soft. But that misunderstands what Fox is, or at least what it strives to be. Fox, for its part, has to both be the network that welcomes the 50% of Americans the regime media rejects and also maintain old school journalistic standards. The problem is that the Fox audience has little patience for old school journalistic standards in an age where the rest of the media slanders it as a bunch of racist, sexist monsters who think that only women can get pregnant. The audience wants a cheerleader network, and not just in the primetime opinion shows, and that creates a significant tension regarding Fox’s identity. Tucker, the network’s flagship opinion host, is gone, as are a lot of people will go with him wherever he lands. They did not consider themselves “Fox viewers” – they considered themselves “Tucker viewers.” The GOP will face a similar dilemma as the 2024 race heats up – there are a lot of people who consider themselves “Trump voters” and not “Republican voters.” Tucker has a lot of love; we will see how much love Fox has.

| #9 Still, I don't pay for the arc welder I don't use at all, ever, like you do with ESPN, CNN, MSLSD, etc. |

| #8 unfortunately, the electric and gas bill do not charge you for ONLY what you use if you live in many parts of the USA or the EU or the UK there are many nuisance charges tacked on, some more obviously, some less so |

| #7 I've long said there's no reason cable content should not be like your electric, water or gas meter, that is, you only pay for what you use. Of course, busting up the cable subscription scam would cost all the free riders plenty and none of them want that. |

| #6 Instead, you will curate your listening and viewing, getting a show from here and then another show from there, and essentially making your own daily line-up. Someone will come up with the platform to do that easily and smoothly on whichever devices we choose for those of us who are not tech savvy. When it happens, the old media orgs will stop being networks as we once knew them and become simply another bunch of content steamtables in the content cafeteria. This is what we desperately need to break the stranglehold the legacy corporate media has on information that has brainwashed all the softheaded TV viewers. |

| #4 Tucker could do very well on Spotify or so other subscription venture but I think he may be considering founding a new network. |

| #3 Gutfeld is worth watching. I long ago started disliking Hannity, now it's almost a hate, and I won't watch or listen to him. |

| #2 Prepackaged news is like processed foods. Bad for you in many ways. |

| #1 ...FWIW, I've never seen a single episode of Tucker's show. On top of that, I gave up on Fox News Network long, long ago - it was IMHO (YMMV, of course) picking up a distinct tabloid vibe that is for me an automatic turnoff. Fox News online is still my home page, but not for much longer; the dumb you-know-whats getting themselves in a crack with the Dominion suit. I dropped CNN back in the day when they admitted they ignored Saddam Hussein's atrocities because otherwise they would have lost access to him - I can't give Fox leeway for lying. Mike |
