About This Book
A revelatory, jaw-dropping portrait of Tucker Carlson's career and a Zelig-like story of from insider to populist, from respectability to insanity, the story of how the right-wing media lost its mind.New York Magazine writer Jason Zengerle's eye-opening narrative follows Tucker Carlson's infamous journey from gifted young intern at New Republic to the noxious talking head we've all witnessed on Fox News. In the tradition of Our Man and The Loudest Voice in the Room, Zengerle examines how Tucker Carlson's Zelig-like career offers a unique lens into the confusing, myopic, and utterly shameless evolution of American conservatism, its media presence and punditry, from the 1990s to the present.
Reviews
"A richly detailed portrait of Tucker Carlson and the media trends that have shaped political commentary."
"Zengerle's book is essentially a life story, and a good one."
"Unfortunately, these are also the most burning ones: why exactly was Carlson fired from Fox, in 2023, at the peak of his power?"
"Its psychodynamics are all on the surface."
"Character meets technology, one might summarize."
"As much a work of media criticism as it is a professional biography of Carlson, and Zengerle chronicles how first television, then the internet started to reward extremes, privileging provocation and punditry over somber fact-finding."
"The account Zengerle provides is essential to understanding the radicalisation of the American right from the first Trump administration to the second."
