My Take
Few figures in American media divide a room as quickly as Tucker Carlson, and that, I suspect, is precisely the point of him. What interests me is less his politics than his durability: losing the biggest platform in cable news in 2023 would have ended most broadcasting careers, yet he simply rebuilt his audience online under his own name. Whether you find him persuasive or infuriating, he grasped earlier than most that loyalty now attaches to personalities rather than networks. As an editor, I watch him as a live case study in where political media is heading, for better or worse.
