Like I said, he ruined his career in the mainstream media, after which he did what so many people who couldn’t make it in the mainstream have done before him and went into the less prestigious right-wing propaganda industry where standards are lower if you’re willing to say abhorrent things. Tucker was indeed very successful at that second career and is a rich man (though he was already with the Swanson frozen food fortune) but I don’t think that invalidates the initial takedown.
