Losing “Tucker Carlson Tonight” | City Journal
On Monday night, Fox News aired a segment about the threats that Matt Taibbi had received from House Democrats, and how journalists like him increasingly must choose to stay silent under pressure or face the consequences. The report was spot on except, on that day of all days, it felt out of place. What made that day special, of course, was that Fox News itself had just fired Tucker Carlson, its highest-rated single personality.
Tucker Carlson willing to report stories no one else would touch. Speaking up when no one else in the mainstream media would do so. Highlighting issues barely mentioned elsewhere. The voice and conscience of a large chunk of the conservatives in the United States.
You haven’t lost him for long.
