Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson[5] (born May 16, 1969)[6] is an American conservative television presenter and political commentator who has hosted the nightly political talk show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News since 2016.
Carlson became a print journalist in the 1990s, writing for The Weekly Standard. He was a CNN commentator from 2000 to 2005, and co-host of the network's prime-time news debate program Crossfire from 2001 to 2005. He would later host the nightly program Tucker on MSNBC from 2005 to 2008. He has been a political analyst for Fox News since 2009, appearing as guest or guest host on various programs before the launch of his current show. In 2010, Carlson co-founded and served as the initial editor-in-chief of the conservative news and opinion website The Daily Caller, until selling his ownership stake and leaving in 2020.[7] He has written two books: a memoir titled Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites (2003) and a political book titled Ship of Fools (2018).
An advocate of U.S. president Donald Trump, Carlson has been described by Politico as "perhaps the highest-profile proponent of 'Trumpism' and willing to criticize Trump if he strayed from it."[8] He is also said to have influenced some key policy decisions by Trump.[9][10] As of 2020, Tucker Carlson Tonight is the most-watched cable news show in the United States.[11] Carlson's controversial statements on race, immigration and women have led to advertiser boycotts against the show.[12][13]
A vocal opponent of progressivism, Carlson has been called a nationalist.[14] Originally a proponent of libertarian economic policy and a supporter of Ron Paul, Carlson would come to criticize the ideology as being "controlled by the banks" and became an active adherer to protectionism.[5][15] He espouses anti-interventionalist views, and has renounced his initial support of the Iraq War.[5][16]

CNN Roundly Debunks Tucker Carlson’s COVID-19 Tracker
Fox News host falsely claimed the network had “dutifully removed” its coronavirus ticker after President Joe Biden had taken office.
Jan. 26 - CNN called out Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Friday for lying that the network had removed its COVID-19 tracker after President Joe Biden had taken office.
On Thursday’s episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the host trotted out the right-wing talking point that the media only really reported on the coronavirus pandemic as a way to criticize former President Donald Trump when he claimed:
It is Joe Biden’s first day in office, and you know what that means? CNN can finally take that COVID death ticker off the screen. There’s no reason for it now. It’s not like you can blame Joe Biden for some Chinese virus that escaped from a lab in Wuhan. Huh. It wouldn’t be fair. Come on now. CNN dutifully removed it this morning. COVID deaths? Settle down, America. It’s just a bad flu season.

Tucker Carlson stands up for QAnon supporters
Jan. 27 - Over the weekend, the Hawaii Republican Party ventured into some fraught territory: defending adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Its Twitter account cast them as patriots who were “largely motivated by a sincere and deep love for America,” and it blamed the media for being too sensational about it. A top official later resigned over an “error in judgment” in posting the thread.
On Monday night, though, a similar argument made its way onto the airwaves, courtesy of one of the most popular prime-time shows in cable news.
Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson decided to take his own swing at defending QAnon supporters, in a way. Like the Hawaii GOP, he didn’t promote or subscribe to the wild and baseless theory about a mass pedophile ring in the U.S. government, but he cast its adherents as victims of looming persecution, denied basic civil liberties. As with many things on his program, it boiled down to a familiar argument: The mainstream media and powerful forces are trying to silence people and control what you think — that, to use the modern parlance, they’re being “canceled.” continue to read

Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and the other Fox News pundits are coming to an uncomfortable realization
The commentators of the Trump era are scraping by with the likes of Josh Hawley right now, but it’s becoming obvious that without power, all they have left are vague emotions
Feb. 4 - ..."14 days in, his opponents on the right are utterly outraged by his actions, specifically at the supposedly “dictatorial” way he has conducted himself during his short time on the job.
What they are referring to is almost 40 executive orders and executive actions Biden has signed, as is his prerogative as commander-in-chief. Yes, it’s a relatively high number for an early presidency, but he‘s got some way to go before catching up with Franklin D Roosevelt’s 3,728.
Many of Biden’s orders specifically repeal ones issued by his predecessor, among them the travel ban that brazenly targeted Muslim countries – imposed by executive order a week into Trump’s presidency – and the 45th president’s wild moves to enforce deregulation and order the building of the wall on the Mexican border.
Among those furious at Biden’s straight-out-the-gate signing spree is none other than Josh Hawley, the Missouri Senator who continued to formally object to Biden’s election even after the Capitol was attacked by Trump supporters.
Hawley — who these days is shouting as loud as he can to anyone who’ll listen that he is “being silenced” — vented his outrage earlier this week to millions of viewers on the right’s go-to morning grievance platform, Fox and Friends. Perhaps he’s worried that the reported Fox News ratings slump will become so bad that there literally won’t be any viewers left"... source
