Tucker Carlson doesn't care about a short-term ratings boost. Reportedly, he doesn't have enough advertisers to juice his advertising rates if he wanted to.All of the points in this article are incredibly basic. You don’t make the sort of segment Carlson aired because you didn’t think of these things. You make it because you don’t care if you kill your viewers as long as you get a short-term ratings boost. https://t.co/uV0w5SopEQ

Tucker Carlson is on FoxNews for as long as FoxNews still has contracts with cable companies. And the primary reason those companies have contracts with FoxNews is now Tucker Carlson.
What Tucker Carlson wants is the attention of Twitter. What Tucker Carlson wants is to live rent-free in the "head" of Twitter. Twitter is the audience that keeps Tucker Carlson on FoxNews; and keeps FoxNews on cable.
Tucker Carlson thanks you.
The good news is that the Republican Party was founded as an antidote to the Know Nothings for the benefit of the Whigs, the Free Soilers and the Abolitionists. The bad news is that Lincoln's election triggered a Civil War.
