We will kick off our year with a political discussion. Both conventions will have concluded and we will be off in a hard sprint to the November election. One thing is for certain, we will definitely have a new President when it is all said and done. What twists and turns will have lead to this point? What is likely to occur going forward? What role will the media play?
Tucker Carlson has been a student of politics and will give us a frank discussion of what’s happened and what’s likely to happen. Tucker Carlson is a senior campaign correspondent for MSNBC. Until March 2008, he was the host of MSNBC's Tucker, a fast paced, no-holds-barred conversation about the day's developments in news, politics, world issues and pop culture.
Carlson joined MSNBC in February 2005 from CNN, where he was the youngest anchor in the history of that network. At CNN, he hosted a number of shows and specials, including the network's political debate program, Crossfire. During the same period, Carlson also hosted a weekly public affairs program on PBS, Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered.
A longtime magazine and newspaper journalist, Carlson has reported from around the world, most recently from Iraq and Lebanon. He has been a columnist for New York magazine and Reader's Digest. He currently writes for Esquire, The Weekly Standard and New York Times Magazine. Carlson began his journalism career at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper in Little Rock. His first book, Politicians, Partisans and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News, was published in the Fall of 2003. In 2006, he competed on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. His game show, Do You Trust Me?, is under development at CBS.
