About this event

In his new book, Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind, Jason Zengerle examines Carlson’s rise through conservative media and politics, and his ideological transformation over the past 30 years, tracking the concurrent shifts in the political and media landscapes that have both influenced and succumbed to the hyper-partisan politics of today.

New York Times Magazine writer and seasoned political journalist Jason Zengerle will tell the story of how the former Fox News talking head rose through the ranks of conservative media, from his early days as a young writer at The Weekly Standard to his current perch as one of the most powerful voices in right-wing politics. Through deep reporting and a sweeping view of the political and media landscapes over the past 30 years, Zengerle will reveal how Carlson’s career offers a unique lens into the radical transformation of American conservatism and, just as important, the media that cover and ultimately shape it.
