"When you look at what happened during that election, unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happens…but most people understand what happened. It was a rigged election and it's a shame that we had to go through it."#Trump said 2020 election was rigged. CNN #TownHallpic.twitter.com/DSV59QY2c3
Note: The CNN Town Hall was a 90 minute broadcast, though the network expected the actual event to go as long as 75 minutes. They stopped less than 70 minutes in. In other words, they could have gone longer if they wanted—which is usually what executives do with big ratings draws
Yesterday, I wrote about the networks that were pursuing Tucker Carlson once his split with Fox News is official. Shortly after that post, a massive offer was made to Tucker Carlson. Here are the details:
5-year, $100 million dollar contract.
Equity position in the company.
A president position and board seat so Tucker has real decision-making power not just about his show, but the network.
That is a pretty solid offer on its face. Though we don’t know any of the legal details that would have to be hashed out. Nonetheless, this offer is a strong opening offer for a talent like Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson reportedly made $35 million a year at Fox News. So this offer would be a slight pay cut in salary, but Tucker would have equity in the company. This company is on the rise, so that could be a great option for Tucker Carlson.
