Notes
Continued speaking out after his exit from Fox News in April 2023 — the persistence test (criterion 4) is well-documented. Founded Tucker Carlson Network as an independent media company. Has been one of the most prominent mainstream-media voices publicly critical of Israeli government policy, US support for Israeli operations in Gaza, and AIPAC's political influence.
