He's willing to ask the questions other networks are to afraid to ask. He has destroyed careers because of it look up jon Stewart and hard ball. We do have NPR and MSNBC but they still won't ask the hard questions or confront the hosts. I've heard that only a couple of times on NPR but only lately. Plus Jon can taunt the people to afraid to come on unlike a professional news orgs.
When he got together with Colbert and did the Colbert report and tricked the entire GOP that was just icing on the cake.
Yeah he sure "destroyed" Tucker Carlson's career after that Hardball segment!
He took Tucker down so hard he was ejected from the real media and had to work at Fox.
And rake in millions and become a cult figure. Really ruined him let me tell you what.
Sure he was successful in his second career as a Fox hack (though ultimately ejected from that as well and bumped down another level to a twitter video guy) - it's a lot to ask to not just take someone down so hard they have to not only leave their job and go work at a different kind of company, but can never be successful again.
He was a hack at CNN. Jon Stewart may have gotten him fired, but you can't seriously look at Tucker Carlson and say Jon ruined his career. Listen, I hate the man with a passion, but he's living high on the hog.
Like I said, he ruined his career in the mainstream media, after which he did what so many people who couldn't make it in the mainstream have done before him and went into the less prestigious right-wing propaganda industry where standards are lower if you're willing to say abhorrent things. Tucker was indeed very successful at that second career and is a rich man (though he was already with the Swanson frozen food fortune) but I don't think that invalidates the initial takedown.
If you're a cook fired from a steakhouse downtown, and get hired at a cafe/restaurant near the town college's campus, you haven't changed careers. Someone's opinion of the two restaurants doesn't change that.
