Not that long ago, he was a host on CNN himself. Tucker wanted to be in the CIA, but he didn't pass their test, or something like that. I don't remember the exact specifics.

He was a part of a show that Jon Stewart went on and said they're ruining america, right to their faces. Then CNN had to save face and stop the show. Ever since then Tucker has been looking for a way to regain that audience.

You cannot trust a talking head, even if they're telling you what you want to hear.
