Of all the popular names in television news, Tucker Carlson’s stands out.
While on the air with Fox News, Carlson became synonymous with his eyebrow-raising takes.
But who is Carlson underneath his Fox News bravado?
Clearly having an in within the journalism industry, Tucker Carlson attended Trinity College and studied history sort of.
Jumping into the journalism world wasn’t his first thought.
The CNN alum originally applied to the CIA, but he was eventually turned down.
“You should consider journalism,” Dick Carlson said.
“They’ll take anybody.”
From there, Tucker Carlson landed his first media job at Policy Review, working as a fact-checker.
“I do think you’re more fun on your show.
Just my opinion,” Carlson said to Stewart as things were heating up (viaYahoo!).
“You know what’s interesting, though?
Going into business for himself, Carlson launched The Daily Caller with Neil Patel.
Instead, he defended Trump vehemently and even got behind a Fox News special about the day in question.
Do I think the election was fair?
Obviously it wasn’t.”
“No one’s ever proved that.
“He’s the undisputed world champion at that.
He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.
It’s so obvious.”
I’m enraged that my private texts were pulled” (viaUSA Today).
It was a dissolution that not many saw coming.
However, Carlson’s texts released amid the Fox/Dominion lawsuit played a very different tune.
For his part, Carlson has stayed relatively quiet on the matter as of publication.
Freedman is a Los Angeles-based attorney known for helping high-profile clients win big against their employers.
He settled for $40,000.
“Mr. Carlson and his subordinates remain individual defendants in the S.D.N.Y.
case and we look forward to taking their depositions under oath in the very near term.”
What is Tucker Carlson’s next move after Fox?
“We would love to have you here.
You won’t miss a beat.
And together, the two of us will tear it up.
Just tear it up,” he said alongside co-host Stu Burguiere (viaNewsweek).
“I think that will kill Fox.
I really do,” Beck said of the web link’s decision.
“I know so many people that, you know, still kind of like Fox.
And they watch the other shows.
But they’re like, Tucker, Tucker is the only one that I really trust.
You lose Tucker Carlson.
I think that really kills them.”
