"FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways"
On Monday April 24, 2023, FOX News issued this statement: "FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways".
The pundit class erupted, with exposés about what Tucker Carlson did wrong (wrong, according to the pundit class).
But, here's the thing. Tucker Carlson being fired has absolutely nothing to do with the exposés (regardless of whether the exposés are true or false). Tucker Carlson being fired has to do with only one thing: We the People.
On Wednesday April 16, 2023, Tucker Carlson tweeted. In just that one day, 66 million of We the People viewed his tweet. That's more of We the People than who voted for Barak Obama in 2012 or who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. That fact is existentially threatening to the people who censor our information and rule our lives.
Because he deviates from the narrative of the pundit class, Tucker Carlson was doomed from the start. But, for the same reason, 66 million of We the People in one single day thirsted for what he had to say. 66 million of We the People tuned out the pundit class and its distracting exposes, and tuned in to what we thirst for in this desert called "news" ... we tuned into the informative, important, intelligent, and independent news and reasoning of a rare someone who we trust and respect.
Tucker Carlson is human. He'll be the first to tell you so. But he's been an important figure in protecting the freedoms our Creator and Founding Fathers gave us, in revealing the curtain behind which our rulers hide, and in reminding us that John Lennon's "above us only sky" is an imagination gone awry.
In December 1776, Thomas Paine wrote: "These are the times that try men's souls." In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln said: "government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
With the grace of God, here we go again.
