Tucker Carlson to launch publishing imprint with books by Russell Brand and Milo Yiannopoulos

Former Fox News host says publishing house Skyhorse ‘looking for books that nobody else will publish’

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is set to launch his own imprint and publish books by the likes of Russell Brand and “alt-right” commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.

The imprint, Tucker Carlson Books, will be part of the US-based publisher Skyhorse. “I think most people don’t read books anymore because they’re too absorbed in all the other available media,” said Carlson, according to the Wall Street Journal. He added that those who do “tend to be disproportionately influential in policy conversations and conversations about ideas”.
