“How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable,” headlined part one of the series in which the Times cloaked activist journalism by slapping a “news” label on it. Part two examined how Carlson’s programming inherited a growing movement of conservative populism activated by President Donald Trump in 2016.
Part three outlined the Times’ findings in a comprehensive graphic to paint its image of Carlson as a divisive culture warrior with the audacity to reject the left-wing orthodoxy on race, sex, and elite opinion. The paper traced his heritage back more than 150 years, investigated his personal familial matters in detail, and probed his influence in American media characterized by his rejection of the “ruling class” — i.e., The New York Times.
“Night after night on Fox, Tucker Carlson weaponizes his viewers’ fears and grievances to create what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news,” Confessore opened a summary of the three-part package. “It is also, by some measures, the most successful.”

A good-faith use of resources would have been a serious investment to understand why Carlson is so popular, why the prime-time anchor enjoys such broad appeal to an audience that feels rejected by a ruling class that repeatedly derides them as racist and deplorable. Despite 10 reporters on the case and thousands of dollars spent, not one lay Fox viewer was interviewed for the three-part series to understand why Carlson resonates with the millions of people who watch him rail against his own elite class on a nightly basis.
Nor did the Times’s team engage in any form of media introspection to consider what’s led viewers to Fox News, and Carlson’s program in particular, after failing the public time and time again with made up stories of Russian collusion and explicit interference on behalf of an increasingly radical Democratic Party. Instead, the legacy paper has become infected by its own “you vs. them” victimhood ideology without a hint of self-awareness, fueling the ruling class resentment Carlson has successfully tapped.
