The Rapid Descent of Tucker Carlson
When Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News, he launched his own Twitter show from his shed.
Carlson’s Twitter shows are filled with conspiracy theories, and he gives a platform to bizarre people.
The Guardian writes that Carlson’s online shows”Seemed to confirm something that many observers had predicted: deprived of the prime time platform of Fox News, Carlson – once seen as a powerbroker in Republican politics and even a possible presidential candidate – has spiraled into extremism and growing irrelevance.”
FTVLive talked to a hardcore Tucker Carlson fan who told us, “He has lost his luster and is now just using sensationalism to try and get eyeballs.” The Carlson fan added that he has tuned out Carlson and thinks he has lost his way.
Carlson launched his Twitter show, and Fox News, who’s still paying Carlson, filed a cease and desist against their former star.
Carlson has neither ceased nor desisted, but his efforts to stay relevant are failing.
Will Carlson return to his right-wing roots, or will he dive deeper into the conspiracy pond?
Stay tuned…
