How Tucker Carlson became the most controversial man in media
Description
Jason Zengerle, staff writer at The New Yorker examines Tucker Carlson's transformation from an idealistic neocon praising accuracy and The New York Times, to the Fox face of the highest rated show in U.S. cable news history, and finally to an online conspiracy theorist peddling stories about Jewish control and how he was attacked by a demon.
The author of the new book “Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind,” discusses Carlson's long and complex relationship with President Trump, his influence on conservative politics, and whether he might pursue the presidency as MAGA's self-proclaimed redeemer, after breaking off with the administration over the Iran war.
