Tucker Carlson's Twitter Video Beats Old Fox News Time Slot Within an Hour

When it comes to cable news, Fox News has always been a household name, with its primetime lineup being its biggest draw. However, one of its own hosts, Tucker Carlson, has just proven that social media might be the future of news consumption.

In a recent Twitter video, which he posted shortly after his show aired, Carlson beat his old Fox News time slot in just an hour, garnering over 1 million views. The video largely discussed the Covid-19 vaccine and its risks, and the apparent disparity between how the media reports it and how the general public perceives it.

While the traditional cable news audience might have been slow to adjust to the digital age, Carlson’s video is a clear indication of how much things have changed. People now look to social media platforms like Twitter to get the news they care about, as well as to get more diverse perspectives.

Moreover, Carlson’s video shows that there is still a significant and vocal proportion of the population that hold opinions and beliefs that are not necessarily reflected in the mainstream media. So much so that when Carlson strays from the consensus on an issue, his viewership only grows.

Ultimately, Carlson’s Twitter video is a reminder that the news media ecosystem today is expanding, and that those who want to be at the forefront of this expansion should not be afraid to use social media to engage with their audiences.
