Tucker Carlson Network Parks Billboard Trucks Saying ‘Corporate Media is Dead’ Outside CNN, NYT, WaPo, and NBC

The Tucker Carlson Network parked billboard trucks outside CNN, the Washington Post, NBC News, and the New York Times on Thursday.


The billboards stated, in no uncertain terms, that the "Corporate Media is Dead."







The statement appears to be the slogan for the ousted Fox News host's new venture, which he announced in a video statement posted to X on Sunday.

“We’ve been out of work for seven or eight months now, hard to know. Time flies when you’re unemployed,” Carlson said in the announcement. “But actually, we have been working in secret and producing an awful lot of material for months now, interviews, et cetera.”


Fox News abruptly pulled Carlson off the air in April, despite being their most popular personality — by far.

Aside from his media venture, Carlson is rumored to be in the running to be Trump's running mate if he secures the 2024 Republican nomination.

Trump discussed the potential pick during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” in early November.

“I like Tucker a lot; I guess I would,” Trump said. “I think I’d say I would, because he’s got great common sense.”


“You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative — it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall, because walls work,” Trump continued.

Former First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly pushing for her husband to choose the former Fox News host.

Carlson later appeared on Roseanne Barr's podcast and was asked about the possibility.

"Oh gosh," Carlson laughed. "I put that in the category of asteroid striking the Earth."

Carlson continued, "Good or bad: it's so far out the side outside of my control that I... you know."

"I'm flattered. You know, I've never been in politics," he added.

Barr did not relent, and pressed him about whether or not he would accept if Trump asked him.

"I guess I'd have to think about that," Carlson said. "I mean, I have spent my whole life looking at politicians and commenting on them and passing judgment on them, and I've never run for, you know, room mother."

Carlson continued, "And so the idea of that is so far from anything I've ever done, it's kind of hard even to imagine."
