Tucker’s New Mediaco

Life inside the Fox News bunker, the Watters-Hannity-Gutfeld Cerberus, and news on Tucker Carlson’s new media ambitions.

On Monday morning, while Fox News C.E.O. Suzanne Scott was announcing the network’s new evening lineup—confirming Jesse Watters’ long-anticipated ascension to 8 p.m., and gently nudging Laura Ingraham out of the official primetime window—she was also discreetly showing Tucker Carlson’s old production team the door. Two of Carlson’s top producers had already decamped weeks earlier after one of them had memorably gone rogue and labeled Biden a “wannabe dictator” on the chyron—a ridiculous stunt but also perhaps the latest example that the network’s untrammeled id really does defy Onion-level parody.
