In a recent statement made this week, former Fox News anchor, Tucker Carlson hinted at his plans for the future. As per his statement, it appears that Carlson will continue to work in the media industry where he will focus on covering significant topics that are often overlooked by mainstream television news outlets.
“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true and a bunch of hilarious people — also, a lot of those,” Carlson began. “The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are, they’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them, trust me as someone who’s participated.”
“And yet at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all: war, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources,” he continued. “When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media. Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.”
According to Carlson, the absence of coverage on certain topics by television news networks creates an impression of a mono-party state in the United States. This situation, however, is not irreversible as it is within our power to change it. It is crucial to note that the media’s agenda-setting power is enormous, and their suppression of certain narratives could have profound effects on public opinion.
“Our current orthodoxies won’t last, they’re brain dead, nobody actually believes them,” he said. “Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue. And so it won’t. The people in charge know this. That’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force, but it won’t work.”
“When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful,” he continued. “At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe. True things prevail. Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.”
He closed his message by saying, “See you soon.”

Throughout his career as a news anchor, Carlson has earned a reputation for his ability to speak his mind on controversial issues, leading many to speculate that he may launch his own news network. While there has been no official confirmation of such plans, industry experts believe that Carlson’s loyal fan base and vast industry experience make him a prime candidate for such an endeavor.
His departure from Fox News in June sparked a wave of interest among his followers, causing many to speculate about the reasons behind his exit. While Carlson has not given any detailed reasoning for his departure, his recent statement suggests that he is motivated to continue his passion for uncovering the truth and bringing attention to the topics that matter most.
In a world where media coverage is often driven by ratings and sensationalism, it is refreshing to see a journalist who is committed to providing accurate and thought-provoking content. Carlson’s future plans may be uncertain, but his dedication to investigative journalism is undoubtedly unwavering.
