Why is corporate media management considered corrupt?
Oh, it's such a clutch off-season pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd bring back the same team. I meant those blackout motorized shades. Blinds.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old blinds. Hard to install? No, it's easy. I installed these and then got some from my mom. She talked to a design consultant for free and scheduled a professional measure and install. Hall of Fame son.

When you realize, I mean, you obviously learned the hard way, I did too, but the people who run the business are just not good people. And there's some friendly people, there's certainly some smart people. There are some people who are good people, but in general, I worked at three different TV networks full-time and then two others part-time.
What happened during Megyn Kelly's conflict with Harvey Weinstein?
And I just found as a rule management, they just weren't people you would make the godparents to your kids. A lot of people are afraid. I mean, I just think it's like, Is that what it is? Well, certainly linear television, you know, now the big companies, I think people are terrified. You know, you see management, they don't know where they're going to be the next day.
Welcome to the Tucker Carlson Show. We bring you stories that have not been showcased anywhere else. And they're not censored, of course, because we're not gatekeepers. We are honest brokers here to tell you what we think you need to know and do it honestly. Check out all of our content at TuckerCarlson.com. Here's the episode. So leadership is hard to find, and gutsy leadership. You look back at the days of great sitcom television, you look at Brandon Tartikoff and Grant Tinker and some of these great legends that said, you know what, we're going to stick with this Seinfeld bomb. The ratings are terrible, but what a, there's something there, and we're going to hold on to it, and we're just... That...
You know, as your audience is shrinking and the gains are shrinking, people are just terrified. They're looking over their shoulder. They're wondering, you know, am I the next to get fired? I mean, that's absolutely right. I forgot Seinfeld was a bomb at first. It was not doing well. I totally forgot that. Imagine someone pulling that off the air. They would do it now. Didn't work after two episodes or three episodes. This didn't work after a year or two years. No, it's incredible. Right? They had the runway, though, because they were making so much money. NBC was making money in every category then. And it had some good lead-in and all that stuff, and then they stuck with it, and now it makes more money in reruns still than most original shows. That's incredible.
Yeah. You've been in TV for like 30 years, or in broadcasting certainly for 30 years. Yeah. I still think, though, even when the business was making a ton of money, it was a dishonest business. That's the way it felt to me anyway when I started at CNN. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's... You know, I look at all the places I've been, it's... I think of the moral high ground. Like, it doesn't exist. What does that mean? People grappling for the moral high ground, anyone who gets fired based upon, you know, for moral purposes, they try to use the morality clause, which every talent has in their contract, the morality clause, they lunge for it. This is coming from people who don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to that. It's like, it's just a big laugh. Everyone, you know, the firers are all... completely morally compromised. So, so well, that's, I mean, I would just look at each other. Let's all look at each other for a second. Really? Do any of us belong standing on this? This is all about gain. Okay. Who's up? Who's down?
Then why? No, I, of course, I know what you're talking about. And I think that from, I mean, I'm obviously long out of it, but I think of that from afar when I see these people getting all huffy about this or that moral transgression. I'm like, wait a second. You know, you slept with my intern. You killed your own intern or whatever. You know what I mean? Let's call the whole thing off. No, that's right.
