Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the most popular cable talk show personality in the United States, is hosting his show from Brazil this week and warning that the “Chinese military is establishing a threatening new beach head” in the country and that the United States isn’t doing anything to stop it.
Who cares what Tucker Carlson has to say. He’s just a bloviating talk show host. That may be true, but he is also the most influential media voice in the Republican party today, and many of his talking points make their way into mainstream GOP messaging.
