Tucker Carlson’s Cure for Stress and Key to Happiness
One of the most hated men in media suffers zero stress because of it. Here’s why.
Tucker Carlson is polarizing: you love him or you hate him. I find him to be an extremely interesting figure in the present-day media landscape. No one can say he’s risk averse. He’s resourceful, moreover. When Fox News unloaded him 11 months ago under circumstances that remain a bit mysterious, in less than two months he’d turned things around and launched his own online media enterprise.
He did it, moreover, without uttering a single negative word about his former employer. “It’s not my company,” he was heard to say, implying that he never considered himself entitled to a job at Fox. Even though Tucker Carlson Tonight had become the network’s most watched show.
His firing was almost certainly not a business decision. Fox News lost a lot of viewers. Pundits and pseudo-pundits declared that Carlson would fade into irrelevance. It’s more like Fox News that has faded into irrelevance.
No other conservative media figure has brought Russian president Vladimir Putin to the table. Carlson went to Moscow and did just that. For this he aroused even more disdain from said pundits and pseudo-pundits.
