Tucker Carlson...for President? Angelo Carusone of Media Matters Weighs In

Tucker Carlson hasn’t explicitly said that he wants to run for president, but he’s also not denying it, or taking an opportunity to humiliate the reporter who asked about a 2024 run. So, is he really considering it? Angelo Carusone, President of MediaMatters.org, says Carlson is grasping for power as his show's advertising dollars dwindle to nothing, save for MyPillow (remember their CEO at the Trump rally?). Fox insists it doesn’t hurt their bottom line, but Angelo notes some changes in how the network has been promoting the show itself that indicates otherwise. Speaking of presidential runs, Angelo and Mark also get into the whole Kanye West discussion and how Fox is approaching it on-air (spoiler alert: it's a mess). Also covered in today's episode is what’s happening with advertisers over at Facebook, and Angelo clues us in on who is making the decisions and rules around what the platform will mark as false information (hint: he’s a buddy of Brett Kavanaugh).
