A revelatory, jaw-dropping portrait of Tucker Carlson’s career and his history of reinvention, and a story of how the right-wing media lost its mind.
New York Times Magazine writer Jason Zengerle’s eye-opening narrative follows Tucker Carlson’s infamous journey from gifted young reporter at The Weekly Standard to a noxious talking head on Fox News, and then to his dethroning and defenestration.
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.
Jason Zengerle is a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine. He previously was the political correspondent for GQ, a contributing editor for New York Magazine, and a senior editor for The New Republic, and has written for The Atlantic, Slate, Politico, and numerous other publications. He lives with his wife, son, and daughter in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
