Read My Salon.com Interview
The online magazine interviewed me about Tucker Carlson, UFOs, and America's culture of conspiracy.

This week, the New York Times published a piece exposing the close connection between Tucker Carlson and the media elite, for whom he often serves a source, in an unspoken exchange that results in soft-pedaling coverage of Carlson’s conspiracy theories and extremist rhetoric. I spoke with Chauncey DeVega of Salon.com about Carlson’s fascination with UFOs and the close connection between radical UFO conspiracy theories and right-wing extremism.

Great interview. Well balanced in that it doesn't tar all 'true believers' with the same brush. But you point out the commonalities in the wider conspiratorial mindset.
