The Fall of Tucker Carlson, and the Making of Candace Owens

Once a Beltway neoconservative, Tucker Carlson came to embody the angry, forgotten white man—railing at “the élites” and propagating racist conspiracy theories and the lie of the stolen election. “Unlike a lot of his colleagues at Fox News, he made news, he set the agenda,” Kelefa Sanneh, who wrote about Carlson in 2017 (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/10/tucker-carlsons-fighting-words), says. “People were wondering, What is Tucker going to be saying tonight?” Sanneh joins Andrew Marantz (https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/andrew-marantz) and David Remnick to discuss Carlson’s demise, and what comes next. And Clare Malone reports on Candace Owens (https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/the-gospel-of-candace-owens), the powerful right-wing influencer and provocateur who’s set her sights on the future of right-wing media—and on a younger and more female audience than that of Fox News.
