July 14 (Reuters) - Former Fox News (FOXA.O) host Tucker Carlson and former White House adviser Neil Patel are looking to raise funds to start a new media company that could potentially be anchored on Twitter, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The duo is looking to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to fund the company, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Carlson did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment, while Patel was not immediately reachable. In a video posted on Twitter in May, Carlson had said he would relaunch his show on the social media platform "soon". He released the first episode of his new show, "Tucker on Twitter", in June.
