I love it. Tucker can shoot as loud as he wants into the void. It'll be so nice to stop seeing his face in the headlines.
Except that a core issue with journalism particularly TV/mass media journalism outside of newspapers - which are sadly dying off like organic endangered species - is that the journalism world is very "online" meaning that they're in the same echo-chamber of posts, tweets, and online rabbit holes. It's insular and it's where things like Qanon come from; the (dis)information structures are self reinforcing.
I'm not articulating this clearly. Let me try again.
Remember the previous Presidency? The guy could tweet nonsense and it would get news coverage. The same may well happen for Cucker Tarlson. (Note - I just had to try to type that 3 times because autocorrect kept fixing it for me...)
