Poor guy

much-hyped biography of the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has struggled to find favour with readers, a leading US publishing authority said, listing just over 3,000 copies sold in the first week of its release.

Can you even imagine working at a bookstore and some person comes in just to buy a biography about Tucker Carlson? That would be so surreal, obviously you're not supposed to judge them but how do you not just burst out laughing right there.

I have a hard time believing that the Venn diagram of people who are interested in a biography of Tucker Carlson and people who can read isn't just 2 separate circles.

Who the fuck would want the biography of a spoiled rich kid who grew up to be a professional shit spewer. Political persuasion notwithstanding, what sort of compelling life story would he have?

Mark Levin's books seem to do okay.

If Tucker had released a video of him reading it on VHS instead of print he may have sold more.

Those 3,000 copies were likely bought by Carlson or the publisher for distribution during events.

If he was still at Fox then Fox likely would have bought enough copies to push it into the NYT best seller list, but no one wants to touch him since Dominion castrated him.

And he had someone buy 10k+ copies in the first week, thus he is exactly within what I said.

No one cares about the actual guy, they just like that he's basically a megaphone to spout out Right wing nonsense.

Yeah my thoughts too

Anyone that's interested in Tucker Carlson is not interested in educating themselves

Anyone that's interested in educating themselves is not interested in Tucker Carlson

He'dve been better off making a documentary

I'm surprised far right nutters haven't been inflating the sales by buying up large batches.
