Media Matters is a horrible organization which has poisoned our political culture as much as anyone or any group. It pioneered the attempt to deplatform conservatives by going after advertisers, with Fox News being its prime target and the obsession of MMFA’s former chief David Brock, and its now-president Angelo Carusone.
So when one of MMFA’s henchmen posted a “leaked” video of Tucker Carlson, MMFA must have thought it had a great scoop.
Who would leak such a thing? Megyn Kelly thinks it’s Fox News, but that would be strange considering how MMFA has targeted Fox News. IF Fox News is leaking to Media Matters — something that’s not proven — then it gives new and perverse meaning to the phraise “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Regardless of who leaked it, it’s not much of a leak. It shows Tucker complaining about the Fox Nation platform. That’s the platform that hosts Tucker Carlson Originals and Tucker Carlson Today. I did an hour-long interview on the Today program. I was really happy with the content, and so were a lot of viewers who reached out to me about it.
But it’s also true that the Fox Nation site is hard to navigate and is not user friendly. I wish the whole interview was on YouTube or someplace people didn’t need to subscribe.
Two things can be true at the same time – Tucker (and others) created great content on Fox Nation, but the site design does not do the content justice. Tucker in the clip:
“We’re working like animals to produce all this content, and the people in charge of it, […] they’re ignoring the fact that the site doesn’t work…”
To point that out is not a scandal for Tucker, it’s showing concern about the content creators and viewers.
And as Larry O’Connor points out, MMFA still sucks.
With each of these hits, Tucker grows in stature.
