Tucker triumphant: A ratings bonanza in the face of advertiser boycott because the Public has caught on
American Thinker ^ | 06/18/2020 | Thomas Lifson

Tucker Carlson is the most important journalist working in America, and, thankfully, the public has caught on, making him not simply the ratings champion of cable news, but on Monday the top rated program on all of television, cable and broadcast combined.

If the nation survives intact the current insurrectionist movement, future historians will credit him as a courageous truth-teller who braved social, political, and physical intimidation to break through pervasive smog of propaganda emanating from most of the media and the commanding heights of the economy, culture and academy, who are cheering on and financing the forces that want to destroy our constitutional republic.

Night after night, his opening monologue lays out the big picture and calls out the lies, half-truths, and the scary alignment of powers that threaten us in ways not encountered since the run-up to the Civil War.

It is must-see TV and then some. Here is Tuesday’s opening monologue, in which he spoke of the ratings bonanza – in the face of advertiser boycotts – for Monday’s show, in which his monologue went on for 25 minutes without a commercial.

I’m buying my family additional MyPillows from Mike Lindell’s business. He’s one of the few advertisers who refuses to cave.

Remember when Snapple lost a half a billion dollars in stock price after they stopped advertising on Rush?

there are many other examples but I think that was one of -if not THE- first.

They don’t seem to learn (liberals never do) Keep politics out of your business.

May God bless Tucker and keep him and his family safe from the dangerous leftist loons out there.

The Lord knows we need Tucker’s voice right now.

If Fox would switch up Vannity with Ingraham, the ratings would change. I only hear Vannity rant for an hour because I like to see Ingraham Angle.

If it was Tucker at 8, Ingraham at 9, and Vannity at 10, Sean’s ratings would be much lower. Tucker has done a good job, and he’s got a delightful sense of humor, mixed with some great sarcasm. He’s quick on his feet as well.

Congrats to Tucker.
One of Hannity’s frequent radio and TV guest you will never see on
Tucker’s show.

Linda Graham.

Because Tucker would call him out on all the promises Linda
has made, but NEVER kept. Something Hannity has never done.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation set the stage for all of this.

It’s still unclear if the nation survives ALL of our elected AND appointed violating the Constitution.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

With those ratings Tucker’s slot is advertising gold.
A lot of pillows will be sold.

When Tucker was wrapping up his show Hannity would come in at the end and promo his upcoming show. Hannity’s attitude, at least some evening, OK Tucker step aside I'm here to do the heavy lifting. Hannity is going to need a attitude adjustment.

An ad buy on Tucker’s show right now looks like a really smart move.

Sadly, a lot of IPOS combined are watching cnn/msnbc and buying their lies lock stock and barrel. Or course they could say 1/3 of viewers are watching Tucker and buying his “lies” lock stock and barrel. One man’s lies are another man’s truths. I have ventured to the dark side on occasion and can’t really take very much of them since their ‘reports’ are so blatantly false, misleading and anti American. From my view point anyway. Stickin’ with Tucker, which is about the only thing on faux noose to watch anymore.

RE: One man’s lies are another man’s truths.

A Lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

The Truth is still the Truth even if no one believes it.

Surely, even no-color TV screens depict the tinge of green
seen on Hannity’s face each evening after Tucker’s knocked
another one out of the park.

No doubt it, Tucker is the go-to at FNC these days. He and his staff are on a story like a dog on a bone.
