According to statistics released by the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), the independent host has garnered billions of views across social media and podcast platforms since the Iranian conflict began.
“Tucker Carlson broke cable news ratings records at Fox,” wrote TCN, “and today he’s reaching multiples of that audience independently, at 56.8 million views per episode across social media and podcast platforms.”
Since the outbreak of the war in Iran, Tucker’s content has attained 1.53 billion views across media and podcast platforms, which is a 101% increase compared to the eight-and-a-half week period prior to the war.
TCN attributes this meteoric rise to audiences “turning away from legacy media lies and flocking to honest independent news coverage.”
Tucker has received sharp criticism from elements of the conservative right, including President Trump. It is debated whether the president posts his own content to Truth Social, but Tucker was the subject of a post on April 9 which referred to him and others as low-IQ.
“Thank you to our audience for supporting independent media and participating in our mission to tell the truth, no matter the cost,” concluded TCN. “We couldn’t do it without you.”
