We watched so you don’t have to.
Tucker Carlson is back, John.
Yesterday, Tucker’s new show premiered on Twitter and it was everything you’d expect from him — chock full of misinformation, hateful language about transgender women, and talk of UFOs (yes, seriously).
Still, within hours of its release, the episode had over 11 million views.
Tucker’s taking his powerful bad information campaign to Twitter — where our online-focused news teams are ready to fight back. If you believe in our mission to hold bad actors like Tucker Carlson accountable, will you chip in $5 now to support our work?
John, we watched Tucker’s show so you don’t have to. Here’s the gist:
While his new show isn’t as splashy as his old Fox News segment, the bad information he spread was just as malicious.
Between racist dog-whistling and conspiracy theories, Tucker doubled down on the same kind of ‘news’ that made him famous at Fox. Except this time, he’s doing it on Twitter, a platform that has failed to rein in misinformation.
In Tucker’s own words, ‘We’re told there are no gatekeepers here.’
That leaves us to hold bad actors like Tucker Carlson accountable, debunk the misinformation he spreads, and ensure we reach people all across the internet. But to do that, we rely on grassroots supporters like you to chip in what they can when they can.
