There’s something to all the liberal hand-wringing. In June, Conor Friedersdorf wrote in The Atlantic, “Carlson squandered his considerable God-given talent for scrupulously true commentary, opting instead for clickbait at The Daily Caller or dumbed-down demagoguery at Fox.” In a tweet, Jon Lovett of Crooked Media and Pod Save America, noted, “Tucker Carlson’s transition from conservative serious-ish writer to blustery CNN guy to Daily Caller troll to race-baiting Fox News host is like ice core data on what led to this moment in our politics.” What happened to Tucker Carlson? People in media ask themselves this question with the same pearl-clutching, righteous tone they use when discussing their aunt in Connecticut who voted for Trump. “Answer the question!” But the question is unanswerable. Reporters go on his show believing they’ll be discussing health care or Donald Trump’s mental health, only to be met with the question, “Do you think you are practicing journalism?”
It’s pure Tucker Carlson, a move I’ve seen hundreds of times in the over 40 hours of Tucker Carlson Tonight clips I’ve watched on Fox News in recent months.
We’ve moved from denial to acceptance in less than a minute. ICYMI: The story BuzzFeed, The New York Times and more didn’t want to publish I mean, sure he was shouting, but he’s a loud guy, okay ? “Because you are like, “I AM NOT SHOUTING!”Ĭarlson then tells me how he is the loudest person in the restaurant. That’s why this is funny,” I say laughing nervously.
