Perhaps confirming the notion that his fans are illiterate dupes, freelance hate-monger Tucker Carlson’s highly-hyped biography “Tucker” by conservative writer Chadwick Moore has sold just 3,227 copies in its first week of sales, the Guardian reports.
After being fired by Fox Corporation following a $787.5 million settlement in the Dominion Voting Machine defamation case when his sexist and bigoted communications were disclosed, Carlson has been trying to rebuild his brand by partnering with aspirational oligarch Elon Musk’s Twitter X platform, which has its own self-created image issues. It’s been less-than-successful: after racking up tens of millions of views for his initial online offerings, his recent long-form posts have been struggling to regain his audience, with recent posts getting less than 10% of the initial audience on Twitter.
