Tucker Carlson has constructed what is, by some measures, the most successful show in the history of cable news. It may also be the most racist.

The New York Times examined how he positioned himself to inherit the movement that grew around Donald Trump. https://nyti.ms/3vTtN2u

I think many of us remember him years ago as a "young fogie" festooned with a bow tie and trying to be a pseudo-intellectual "young" version of an earlier "young fogie" - George Will - during his CNN days. As some of the older generation of RW gasbags began to disappear (like the Pat Buchannans and Charles Krauthammers and Bill O'Reillys) and finding himself competing with other up-and-comings like Hannity and Beck, he had to somehow distinguish himself and find a niche.

So he has managed to reinvent himself.

The best one who can take down anyone was Jon Stewart (sorely missed ).
