That is the subtitle of this titillating Tucker Carlson post-mortem by … wait for it! … none other than Mr Carlson’s former media rival and arch-nemesis Brian Stelter, who himself was unceremoniously fired from CNN in 2022. (Oh, the irony!) Spoiler Alert: Mr Stelter’s “untold” tale is just a mere rehash of publicly available information; see, for example, this NY Times report from May of 2023. Although he is able to weave together a string of salacious anecdotes to tell a compelling story of pure Icarian hubris, while also compiling a plethora of possible reasons for Mr Carlson’s abrupt and unexpected downfall, Mr Stelter’s final verdict is banal at best: “It wasn’t one thing. It was everything.” In other words, no one — no one, that is, except evil media genius and legendary Lothario Rupert Murdoch (the former chairman of Fox News) — knows the real reason why the once mighty Tucker was toppled from his prime-time perch.
