Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is making a bold statement aimed at the mainstream media. Photos shared by commentator Benny Johnson on X show trucks positioned outside the buildings of The New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post, displaying an ad featuring Carlson and the words “Corporate Media Is Dead.” This comes after Carlson recently launched the Tucker Carlson Network, which he had been teasing since December 9.
Since leaving Fox News, Carlson had been sharing his insights on X and started a show called “Tucker on X,” where he conducted interviews with prominent political figures. According to The Wall Street Journal, Carlson will continue to post content on X and has plans to launch a podcast.

The official account of TCN responded humorously to the swirling ad, stating, “We’re just trying to reach them regarding their car’s extended warranty.” TCN went on a spree, posting and sharing images of the trucks, playfully taking credit for the display.
The newly launched TCN website will feature exclusive interviews, investigations, and even an “Ask Tucker” section, where members can ask Carlson any question and receive weekly answers. The website explains that TCN was started because news coverage in the West has become a tool of repression and control, with reporters withholding essential information from the public and acting as censors on behalf of entrenched power.
In response to this, TCN’s mission is to tell the truth about the things that matter, without fear. The site emphasizes its commitment to this mission, stating, “That’s our job. We plan to do it every day, no matter what.” The cost to access TCN is $9 per month or $72 annually.
