“My role is really simple,” he tells me, “I want to tell the truth as I see it. It’s just a play on another Carlson rhetorical move: Say something and then, when criticized, insist that criticism is an attempt to infringe on free speech.This was the circle of hell I found myself stuck in during my interview with Carlson.
“Shut up, Nazi. I get to punch you now.”So is he a racist?
Why would I want to do that? She didn’t want him to be silenced.But Carlson isn’t being silenced.
If we can figure out how an intelligent writer and conservative can go from writing National Magazine Award–nominated articles to shouting about immigrants on Fox News, perhaps we can understand what is happening to this country, or at least to journalism, in 2018.Perhaps fearful of what Carlson has become, few of his former editors were willing to talk on the record about his evolution, except for Brown, who noted crisply in an efficient, six-minute phone interview, “I really think Tucker is better than that.”Despite his pedigree, or more likely because of it, Carlson has managed to become a vox populi of the deplorables. But then he traces the roots of the decline to the desegregation of DC schools. I am trying to understand.
Most people barely had last names, much less ethnic identities. If providing for my kids was my only goal, I’d be back in my marketing job.

He has a website. The vacation has been planned in advanced.
Which, okay, maybe he was busy and besides, I’m not famous.
That is the form in cable news.
That’s the whole point of the book—his irascible and contrarian humor.
As if jokes themselves rise above criticism. He even says he has a spotty history of voting.After our initial conversation about how much we both love Cheetos and both wish we had more kids, the conversation devolved into a lecture on free speech.Rosem Morton, a nurse for eight years, works full-time at a Baltimore hospital.
The story was poorly sourced and drew more skepticism than accolades.When writer Mickey Kaus published an article criticizing Fox News, Carlson immediately removed it. What’s the right position? And it’s something I heard people say over and over about Carlson—that on TV he was a persona. #Tucker
If you are asking it, he isn’t for you, and perhaps he was never for you.The two ways of seeing Tucker Carlson are best explained through the titles of YouTube videos: “‘The Day CNN Will Never Forget’ Jon Stewart Wrecks CNN to Pieces”FLASHBACK: Tucker Brutally Exposes Hypocritical Stewart on Crossfire” another claims.

I might be “the liberal elite,” but I buy groceries at Wal-Mart, live in Iowa, and after 12 years of working as a writer, I still can’t get many outlets to even respond to my pitches.Carlson’s PR person was concerned about silencing, too. A charming rogue.
