Tucker Carlson was the head of Tucker Carlson Tonight on the ultra-conservative Fox News channel in the United States. He said he passionately hates Donald Trump, currently leading the polls for the Republican nomination in 2024, and he also criticized the supervision of the channel.

Fox News avoided a defamation lawsuit with the Dominion company for relaying false information about the alleged rigging of the 2020 presidential election. The hosts who relayed this information on air, including Tucker Carlson, knew it was false. Text messages revealed during the investigation prove this.
