CNN Seeks to Intimidate Ticketmaster into Blacklisting Tucker Carlson Tour

BREITBART

The far-left fascists at CNN are looking to intimidate Ticketmaster into blacklisting Tucker Carlson’s upcoming arena tour.

This week, the former Fox News anchor announced a 15-city speaking tour in the run-up to the upcoming presidential election. Carlson, who expanded his Fox audience after creating the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) and moving to Xwitter, will launch the tour on September 4 in Phoenix, Arizona, with Russell Brand as a special guest.

“The one thing we know for certain is the United States is going to be one intense place this fall,” Carlson said in the announcement. “So we thought, what better time to hit the road and see the country, and we’re going to this fall. From coast to coast, we’re going on a live tour with a bunch of friends of ours who you will recognize.”

“We’re gonna be live onstage responding to everything that is happening in real-time,” Carlson added, hyping the events as “fun and interesting and a great way to spend your fall.”

Additional special guests will include Alex Jones, Charlie Kirk, Megyn Kelly, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kid Rock, Roseanne, Vivek Ramaswamy, Dan Bongino, and Donald Trump Jr.

Tickets went on sale Friday, June 14.

As you can imagine, with Trump leading in most of the post-Kangaroo Court polls, CNNLOL found the very idea of an additional indignity involving Tucker Carlson and friends drawing more people than His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s campaign stops or CNN’s primetime schedule intolerable. So…

So CNN is aggressively and publicly pressuring Ticketmaster to refuse to sell tickets, which would all but kill the tour.

NOTE: I don’t link Nazis. If you want to read the CNNLOL piece, Google it.

“Ticketmaster is linking arms with right-wing extremists, boosting their ability to reach mainstream audiences and profiting off their dangerous and hateful rhetoric ahead of the November election,” CNN wrote Thursday, adding that Carlson is “inviting fellow conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene to join him along the way.”

So the same CNN behind most of this….

…is suddenly concerned with conspiracy theories.

And remember, over at CNNLOL, a “conspiracy theory” is doing what CNN did 24/7 for three years beginning in November 2016: questioning the outcome of a presidential election.

To coerce Ticketmaster and the arenas themselves to blacklist Carlson by refusing to sell tickets or agree to host the tour, CNN played that tired old fascist game of contacting Ticketmaster and the specific venues for “comment.”

“Asked for comment this week, representatives for the Live Nation subsidiary [Ticketmaster] chose not to respond,” CNN wrote.

Journalist and free speech advocate Glenn Greenwald sees right through CNN’s McCarthyism, and summed things up nicely…

“This is the tactic that has made US corporate media the leading agitators for censorship while pretending they’re not,” Greenwald xweeted. “They call up Big Tech, companies, and others to say: ‘we’re going to report on how you’re platforming “fascists” (conservatives)” to coerce them to ban them[.]”

Rest assured, the CNN Gestapo are only getting started in their campaign to kill this tour.
