Tucker Carlson, formerly the most watched host on the most watched news network in the US, who set a record as the highest-rated program in U.S. cable news history is fringe?
Literally the “most popular individual Americans follow for news” is fringe?
I know they tell you that they aren’t “mainstream”, but they lie.
I think we’re using “fringe” in a different way. By fringe I refer to the nature of the political views, not the popularity. Tucker is fringe because he’s anti-establishment, far-right populist. This is a fringe worldview, even if it’s popular among people on the right.
To say that Tucker isn’t fringe/far-right is the same as saying biden is far-left or a communist. It’s just not the case. Jimmy Dore is also fringe, yet is also fairly popular among the left. Communism and Socialism are fringe worldviews, yet are growing in popularity, especially online.
Tucker is very popular, but he’s also fringe. Fringe beliefs are popular.

I’m not exactly a tucker fan. I disagree with him on quite a lot. But I always appreciate people who speak their mind and speak against the media conglomerate and establishment rhetoric/ideology.
Also, you would not say tucker uses populist rhetoric? he and trump basically live and breathe it.
Tucker was definitely not anti-establishment when Trump was US President. In fact, he was more of a sycophant.
