TMZ: Newsmax Is Offering Tucker Carlson His Own Show. They're Also Offering to Let Him <i>Program the Entire Network.</i>

TMZ: Newsmax Is Offering Tucker Carlson His Own Show. They're Also Offering to Let Him Program the Entire Network.

In other words, they're not offering Tucker Carlson a show, they're offering him the whole network.

Newsmax can't afford to pay Tucker Carlson what he'd command in salary, so they're almost certainly offering him an ownership stake in the company, too.

This would work out well for me. Newsmax is on Pluto (that is, it's available on streaming, unlike Fox.)

Before getting to that:

Rupert Murdoch, who is, of course, a big fan of Zelenskyy and unlimited commitment to the Ukranian cause, just had a conversation with Zelenskyy a couple of weeks before Murdoch fired Tucker.

The topic of the conversation? Zelenskyy didn't like Tucker Carlson's skeptical coverage.

The NYT:

Fox News Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch held a previously unreported call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this spring in which the two discussed the war and the anniversary of the deaths of Fox News journalists last March. The Ukrainian president had a similar conversation with Lachlan Murdoch on March 15, which Zelenskyy noted in a little-noticed aside during a national broadcast last month.
The conversations came weeks before the Murdochs fired their biggest star and most outspoken critic of American support for Ukraine, Tucker Carlson. Senior Ukrainian officials had made their objections to Carlson's coverage known to Fox executives, but Zelenskyy did not raise it on the calls with the Murdochs, according to one person familiar with the details of the calls.

Well Rupert Murdoch was at least aware. Pretty sure it would have come up on a call with his Hero.

Rupert Murdoch's Donor Class/GOPe palz are all praising him for firing Tucker:

But Carlson's firing will immediately relieve pressure on key Capitol Hill Ukraine supporters whom Carlson had criticized on air -- and sometimes pressed behind the scenes to change their positions on the war.
Texas Rep. Michael McCaul has been one of the most outspoken Republican supporters of the US support for Ukraine, stepping out of line to occasionally reprimand figures in his own party who do not share his views on the subject.
Regardless of the reason for Carlson's departure, more moderate pro-Ukraine members of the Republican caucus on the Hill are not hiding their relief.
"There have been some that have argued that he was setting foreign policy for the Republican Party, which I find to be bizarre. Certainly not for me," Sen. Mitt Romney told the Hill. "To the primary [Republican] voter, the active participant, the grassroot voter, he's a person they listen to and has a big influence."

This is just another piece of the puzzle. Rupert Mudoch wants his network parroting Rupert Murdoch's opinions about everything. He does not want a Tucker Carlson questioning his Corporate Agenda and worse yet, becoming bigger than Fox itself. Whether it's Tucker Carlson running down his corporate buddies, or his pet politicians like Mitch McConnell, or upsetting Rupert Murdoch by suggesting that the federal asset Ray Epps was a federal asset, or questioning his Boomer instinct to support America's involvement in every single conflict in the world, or his ex-fianc&eactue;e wanting Tucker to plow her up her stinkcooter...

The old man brought ego and vanity into business. Very unwise.

Newsmax wants Tucker to come in and make them a Fox-Killer.

At this point, I think Tucker is probably very interested in that scenario himself.

Take my network, please.
Well, those are not exactly the words TMZ used as it discusses the courtship of Tucker Carlson by the conservative media outlet Newsmax, but it is reporting that Newsmax wants to give Carlson more than just a show as a way to attract him.
The TMZ report is based on what it called "sources with direct knowledge" and said Newsmax is "floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show."
From a ratings perspective, as TMZ noted, who precedes and follows a show can have a lot to do with the size of any given show's audience.
With Carlson still in the middle of exiting Fox, there are no offers on the table, but the report said that "network execs have made it clear to people around him, they would basically give him a big say in rebranding their channel."

Tucker Carlson has confirmed that he "still works for Fox." Therefore, Fox is still attempting to claim, "You're not fired, you'll just be paid to not ever be on TV."

Meanwhile, someone -- certainly not Fox News or Irena Briganti -- leaks more video of Tucker to Media Matters, this time. (Last time the leak went to the NYT.)

This new clip shows Tucker knocking how unusable the Fox Nation website is, and how no one will watch the content he posts there because the site itself is so bad.

Megyn Kelly believes this newest leak is Fox's attempt to warn Newsmax away from bringing Tucker in -- telling Newsmax, "You can't trust him, he's not a team-player, he'll talk about you behind your backs!"

It is more relevant, though, for a different reason. Foreign heads of state having secret conversations with the owners of major domestic news outlets is, to say the least, troubling.

Or it would be, if there was still a facade of an honest, competent or reliable domestic news outfit.

Media personalities that thrive seem to feed the people what they want. Tucker was feeding the people anti-war sentiment about a regional conflict half a world away while our masters want to pour hundreds of billions more into a conflict that doesn't directly concern us.

Yeah, it's totally weird why Tucker might gain purchase with the regular voter. Probably some kind of mind control.

That isn't clear at all. Was Carlson using a "pocket veto" (not falling into line with leadership and sowing dissent among the ranks), or was he mentioning it in preparation for or during a meeting about Fox Nation?

More to the point, perhaps, his comment about the platform wasn't public. It was *made* public by rogue operators within News Corp that *aren't* named "Tucker Carlson."

37 Something I have not seen brought up is that that Heritage talk sounded like Carlson was being introspective about standing up for what you know to be true.

It sounds to me like he was seeing friction before hand, and had decided to be less compromising. So it sounds like he was getting heat over positions leading up to the firing. I was surprised that people said it came out of the blue.

(I even wonder if his minions saw criticism of him on this site. I think the comments were pretty harsh at times over his election fraud denials.)

I think this is the source of the most recent uptick in stories aimed at conservative justices. Surely, the same people who leaked Dobbs knew that this was coming for weeks, so they leaked this to the press and the press started doing its work.

Don't believe that it's for revenge for Dobbs or preventing the overturning of affirmative action.

Letting him program the network would be interesting, because he won't want it to be 24/7 Tucker and Tucker- light, because that diminishes his opinion, so having a big focus on him should then let the other show's lean a bit more center, and hell put a center lefty in a show too if you got to, all to just make his message that much stronger and unique.

Posted about this over at Insty. I'm doubtful that we'll get the full Monty for 2 reasons:

1. Thousands of prior decisions in the federal courts that would be put into question, so definitely not retroactive.

2. When literally every action by an administrative agency would become grounds for a challenge, there aren't enough Article III courts to handle it, nor is SCOTUS likely to put the lower courts in that position (or for that matter, for 5 justices to believe that the Constitution would require it). So what is the limiting principle, if the courts will review some, but not all, administrative agency decisions? You wind up with something like the "Major Questions" doctrine, at best, but Chevron stays in place for anything that's not a major question.

That's the best possible outcome. Let's not get too excited.

It's nice to warn the GOP about Michelle Obama, but what, exactly, does Newt really expect the GOP(e) to do about her? They never went after Barack, and it's far more perilous to go after Michelle openly.

Presenting a problem without offering at least one solution doesn't work in the business world, and it's even less useful here.

In order to do that properly, you need a legit operation to do that, I don't think NewsMax is big enough or has deep enough pockets for that.

They are a web streaming site that can easily be knocked off the nets and streaming services at a whim.

===========

It's not the major regulations that are the biggest problem, I think. It's the thousands and thousands of small ones that may or may not have anything to do with the written law that they were supposedly derived from.

If there's a revisitation of Chevron that weakens it, it has to lead to, at a minimum, a new means test that lower courts must use to gauge if regulations are in line with statute, which opens the floodgates of lawsuits that steadily, and possibly quite quickly, leads to a lessening of administrative power. The brisk nature of the Dobbs' conclusion, though, pushes me more towards, "All regulations not in alignment with explicit text of the statute authorizing it is void."

You sound like the target market for what I think is the best cable-type streaming service. It's called "Philo" and it's about $25 per month. It is a mid-line cable package - except it *does* not include local channels, sports channels or news channels. As a result, it's half as much as the other streaming cable package replacements.

If you don't watch cable news or sports but *do* want the entertainment channels, it can't be beat for value.

Blago, I think you're right about a lot of this. I would only take a slight issue with the 'conservative' part. Rupert is from Australia. As such, the Liberal Party (which is what the conservatives are called there) is well to the left of what an American conservative would be. He made the bulk of his fortune before coming to America in the UK, and the Conservative Party there is even more left-wing than the Liberals in Australia. David Cameron and Boris Johnson are basically Obama supporters, for example.

They simply do not have deep enough pockets to take on a Tucker at the level Tucker is going to need to operate.

Their broadcast tech is literally on par with cable access, they do not have a news bureau, news room, research department, archive, satellite uplink/downlink, etc.

To give you an idea on the difference between FOX and NewsMax level is that a single camera chain at FOX cost more than all of the tech in a studio and control room at NewsMax combined.

It's crazy. So many people drink Bud Light because their Dad drank it and their friends drink it, and they never really tried anything else. Now that millions of Bud Light drinkers are branching out, they're likely going to make new preferences based on taste. The LAST thing Budweiser wanted was to have people trying out other beers.

I was in Walmart yesterday and walked down the liquor aisle. I have seen how very many AB products there are and it looked like it was entirely possible that there are very few non AB products in their cooler for sale. Since I don't drink beer I wouldn't know, but Coors products were almost gone but the Bud section was pretty full. How many of the other brands were also owned by AB, no idea.

It might be hard to pull off a boycott since they have so many offerings in stores like Walmart.

To be fair, it was considered a "conservative" position to be pro-trade with China in the hope it would bring more freedom and turn them away from Communism.

obviously, that turned out to be bullshit, but if anything, it was liberal labor unions that were anti-trade with China.

You also had Mondale battling with Reagan over amnesty, with Democrats being anti-amnesty.

Coors isn't AB.

Ultimately, if Bud Light sales crater, that's the message.

Obviously, I'd like AB's whole line up to go down, but I'm far more interested in other companies seeing how destructive going "woke" is then revenue numbers for a parent company as a whole.

If Bud Light sells billions less in beer, these CEO's are going to flinch when they get bullied into going woke.
