To be slightly fair to Fox, here's a take:
Sometimes I wonder how Tucker even has a job at Fox. Though he seems to ignore the potential implication to international relations generally (not just in ME), etc., he's still right to call BS on this.
I am actually amazed that Carlson -- who praises Bernie Sanders and violently opposed intervention in Venezuela and Iran, and wants the US out of Iraq ASAP, oh and also rails against big business -- has a show on Fox, or anywhere. Yesterday he called the media "the handmaidens of the ruling class," like some crusty Marxist. He must have some serious protection.
Or, it was explained to me, he appeals to alienated, mostly young, conservatives (probably the military too) who voted for Trump because of his anti-interventionist and anti-establishment promises. The antiwar.com set, if you know what I mean. So he gets Fox that demographic.
Personally, I love watching him. He's such a breath of fresh air.
