A 60-second host read on The Tucker Carlson Show is listed at $45,000, with a minimum commitment of $450,000, according to the website for Red Seat Ventures, which manages Carlson’s business. The cost for every 1,000 ad impressions, or CPM, is $36, and there’s a guaranteed 1.25 million impressions.
So they "busted" Tucker by reading his media guide? That some hard hitting journalism right here!

When did o a podcast selling ads become "grift"? Those rates are nothing compared to Rush's show, btw.

Iranian TV broadcasts Tucker Carlson as a show of his support for the regime. Period.


So what? Doesn’t make it true. They’re engaged in narrative warfare.

Same as you.

When the content creators engage in dishonesty they claim is honesty.

Candace and Tucker are very different ideologically. You (and the Free Press) only lump them together because the real target is Tucker Carlson.

This is silly.

Both have engaged in irrational-emotional anti-Jew stuff mixed in with anti-Zionism stuff. They belong together in this discussion about grifters associated with sects on the right.

Would you say the same for someone who was defending Nazi Germany during WW2 and their content was promoted by the Nazi regime?

Oh yes, Ezra Pound did that and was arrested for it.

Provide examples from Tucker Carlson.

One says her dreams shape her realities and the other attempts to have good faith conversations with a variety of guests. Beyond both questioning the admitted influence Israel has over the vast majority of our politicians, there are no similarities.

They do not belong together.

Well, if selling ads is an indication of dishonesty, where do yo find an "honest" coreator? NPR? Oh wait, they take "sponsorship" money too.

You act like this is my first interaction with your kind.

You may as well preemptively move the line and redefine the concepts right now before we start the dance, to save us time. So go ahead or be quiet.

Tucker lied about a demon scratching him to get credibility with the extreme Religious Right. Stop.

The dishonesty is the similarity. It just so happens that there is a large overlap of dishonesty over Jewish people for both of them.

That doesn't mean both are exclusively dishonest in this Venn Diagram.

See? I know how your type tries to argue. It won't work on me.

That is not the indication if dishonesty.

The dishonesty is the selling point to get the audience that makes the ad space valuable. Selling ads is the goal. Dishonesty is the journey towards that goal.

Do you have any idea how much traffic this site generated from all the Qanon stuff posted here for years?

And now Qanon has been replaced by Epstein and the Joos.

I’m a first amendment absolutist. Unlike you. I don’t always agree with the message, but they’re within their rights to say it. That used to be a MAGA pillar.

Trump is also guilty of “fraternizing with the enemy” by your logic because the NK regime broadcasts video of his meeting with Rocket Man where he spoke positively about him

Ah. Ok. I got it. The size of the audience determines the level of honesty. Even more interesting.

Also not what I said

Plenty of honest, non-grifter content creators have large audiences

No, it’s the tabloid journalism phenomenon. The more batshite crazy the story the more the tabloid sells.
