A few weeks ago, I travelled to the studio from which Tucker Carlson films his "Tucker Carlson Podcast."

It was an appealing, down-to-earth studio, in an out-of-the-way location. I was impressed — as I had been in his studio locations in years past — with the pleasant, well-organized calm that prevailed among his excellent team, in what was surely a vortex of power, scrutiny, audience feedback and controversy that could have put other workplaces into a stressful tailspin.

This podcast has given Carlson and his message many multiples of audience member numbers, after Fox New mysteriously got rid of its most-popular show.

"Tucker Carlson Tonight" had been the top-rated news show across cable news, since at least 2020.

So, in the world of media, the fact that a network could kill its multi-year most popular show, and dramatically oust, with no reasonable explanation, its most popular host, means that we must understand that we are living in a full censorship society, and not in a capitalist society with a First Amendment or a free press.

If we were still in the world of the journalism of capitalist, free America, Fox News would have kept its top-ad-earning show, no matter what.

One can only speculate as to why Fox News killed off the network's most popular content and content creator. But one can safely assume that a main reason was that Carlson repeatedly broke what has become, in the news business, the one remaining rule:

"MSM Reporter, You Must Never Question the Narrative."
