Hated by
All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the unravelling of the conservative
mind
English
edition by Jason Zengerle (Author)
From a
seasoned political journalist, an eye-opening examination of Tucker Carlson’s
rise through conservative US media and politics, and his ideological
transformation over the past thirty years, tracking the concurrent shifts in
the political and media landscapes that have both influenced and succumbed to
the hyper-partisan politics of today.
To many,
Tucker Carlson is synonymous with modern conservative politics. Carlson has
been present on US screens for almost three decades, and is known for his
increasingly extreme right-wing views. But those who knew Carlson in his
earlier days in political journalism remember a very different man — a serious
and gifted writer and commentator who enjoyed debating with liberal friends and
calling out conservative failures in equal measure. Now, after watching Carlson
turn away from measured reporting, while simultaneously gaining unparalleled
power in Donald Trump’s Republican Party, most are left asking, What the hell
happened to Tucker?
New York
Times Magazine writer Jason Zengerle’s rich and evocative character study of
Carlson tells the story of how the former Fox News talking head rose through
the ranks of conservative media to his current position as one of the most
powerful voices in right-wing politics. Through deep reporting and a sweeping
view of the political and media landscapes over the past thirty years, Zengerle
reveals how Carlson’s career offers a unique lens into the radical
transformation of American conservatism and the media that covers and
ultimately shapes it.
