Carlson began his media career in the 1990s, writing for The Weekly Standard and other publications. He was a CNN commentator from 2000 to 2005 and a co-host of the network's prime-time news debate program Crossfire from 2001 to 2005. From 2005 to 2008, he hosted the nightly program Tucker on MSNBC. In 2009, he became a political analyst for Fox News, appearing on various programs before launching his own show. In 2010, Carlson co-founded and served as the initial editor-in-chief of the right-wing news and opinion website The Daily Caller, until selling his ownership stake and leaving in 2020.[9] He has written three books: Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites (2003), Ship of Fools (2018), and The Long Slide (2021).
An advocate of former U.S. president Donald Trump, Carlson was described by Politico as "perhaps the highest-profile proponent of 'Trumpism'" but as willing to criticize Trump when he believed that the former president was straying from that ideology.[10] He was said to have influenced some of Trump's decisions as president, including the cancellation of a military strike against Iran in 2019, the firing of John Bolton, and the commutation of Roger Stone's prison sentence in 2020.[11][12][13][14][15] Carlson has been described as a leading voice of white grievance politics.[16][17][18][19] He is known for circulating far-right ideas into mainstream politics and discourse.[18][20][21][19] His remarks on race, immigration, and women – including slurs he said on air between 2006 and 2011 (which resurfaced in 2019)[22][23] – have at times been described as racist and sexist, and provoked advertiser boycotts of Tucker Carlson Tonight;[24][25][26] despite this, it remained one of the most watched cable news shows in the United States until its cancellation.[27]
Carlson is a vocal opponent of progressivism and critic of immigration, and has been described by the Washington Post and The Atlantic as a nationalist[28][29] and by CNN as a right-wing extremist.[30] Formerly an economic libertarian, he now supports protectionism.[1][31] In 2004, he renounced his initial support for the Iraq War,[32][33] and has since been skeptical of U.S. foreign interventions.[1][34] Carlson has promoted conspiracy theories on topics such as demographic "replacement",[35][36][19] COVID-19,[37][38] and the January 6 United States Capitol attack;[39][40] and has been noted for false and misleading statements about those topics and a number of others.[41][18][40][42][19]
