Tucker Carlson is not going down without a fight against his former employer, Fox News. After his ousting from the network, the former anchor is plotting revenge, which could involve starting his own media outlet, reports Axios.
Since he was pushed out at Fox, Carlson has fielded potential job offers from far-right networks Rumble and Newsmax as well as from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Carlson and Musk have even “had a conversation about working together,” Mike Allen reports. But Carlson reportedly cannot work for any competitor until his $20-million-per-year contract...

“Morning Joe” reported Monday that several top Republican Party donors are backing away from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ proposed 2024 presidential bid following his hard-line banning of abortions in his state after six weeks.
Speaking with co-host Joe Scarborough, political commentator and The Bulwark editor-in-chief Charlie Sykes said the continued culture wars happening within the GOP is a case of “the normies” of the party continuing to “empower the crazies.”
The segment began with co-host Mika Brzezinski citing a new Financial Times story that quotes one key Republican donor on DeSantis, saying, “Because of his stance on abortion and book banning, myself and a bunch of friends are holding our powder dry.”

Axios, the digital media startup covering politics, technology and media, has agreed to be purchased by Cox Enterprises, the communications, automotive and media company.
The value of the deal for Axios Media was 525 million, according to a source familiar with the transaction and other reports. Cox Enterprises bought a stake in Axios last year.
Alex Taylor, Cox Enterprises chairman and CEO, said that “bringing a forward-thinking organization like Axios into Cox Enterprises is exciting for us on many levels, and we look forward to helping them continue to scale and grow.”
Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen and Roy Schwartz will continue to have stakes in the company, and will still lead editorial and day-to-day business decisions. Taylor will take one of four board seats controlled by Cox, with the three Axios founders remaining, Axios reported.
VandeHei said that they “have found our kindred spirit for creating a great, trusted,...

The March 15 episode of documentary-news series “Axios” on HBO featured an interview with congressman James Clyburn that was notable not just for its newsiness — the South Carolina Democrat likened Republicans’ relationship with President Trump to that of Germans with Adolf Hitler — but also for its intimacy. Clyburn and Axios CEO Jim VandeHei demonstrated a rapport as they sat on the same side of a conference table in the news organization’s office, facing one another, discussing the Democratic primary and political landscape. When the interview ended, they shook hands.
It was a stark contrast to the lead interview on “Axios” a week later. Sunday night’s episode kicked off with reporter Jonathan Swan interviewing China’s ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai about the novel coronavirus. The occasionally combative exchange took place via Zoom, the videoconference software that has become a sudden staple of many U.S. businesses that...

Mark Penn, a former strategic adviser to President Bill Clinton, and then Hillary Clinton in her 2008 presidential run, derided the marketing messages of the field of 2020 Democratic candidates as too “fuzzy-wuzzy.”
Appearing on a panel on politics and media at CES in Las Vegas, Penn explained that in his experience as a pollster and strategists, he has found that there must be “five things you can clearly see or recall about a campaign. Does it have a memorable theme or slogan? Does it have a story, a biographical story, that incorporates its values? Does it have a clear target that it’s going after? Does it have a set of issues that it really stands upon? And, does it have edge against the competition?”
Donald Trump had all five of those objectives covered in 2016, Penn said. “Any grade-school student could have told you: ‘Make America great again.’ Here he was,...
