Tucker Carlson’s views for his shows on Twitter are plummeting and decreasing with each new episode.

Here are Tucker Carlson’s views for his Twitter show in two lists. The first list is the actual number of views for each episode. The second graphic is the views version of Elon Musk. (Twitter abandoned the standard views stat for its own calculations):

Carlson took a big hit for episode three because that was Trump’s federal indictment, but otherwise the trend line has been pointing down and he’s been losing viewers with each episode.

The answer to why Tucker Carlson’s Twitter program is failing isn’t hard to figure out. Tucker was a product of Fox News. Without Fox’s great platform to help him set narratives and reach elected Republicans, Carlson is just another voice in nature. It was never Tucker Carlson that moved the Republican narratives, but the power of Fox News’ 8 pm weekday slot.

The Murdochs believe that no one is bigger than the Fox News brand. Tucker Carlson thought that he was and that he could make big numbers on his account.

Carlson went from dominating the conservative media and harassing elected Republicans to filming in his shed and appearing as a guest on Russell Brand’s podcast.

The powerful did not just fall. She stepped on a rake and fell face down in the middle of the yard.
