#JonStewart utterly destroyed #TuckerCarlson, his #CNN show, and any hope he had of ever being considered a serious journalist. And Tucker has never gotten over it. 20 years later, Tucker is still petulantly lashing out at the mean Jon Stewart for humiliating him so thoroughly.
People don't know how vile of a person Tucker Carlson really is. He is talked about all the time, without the context of him being the white supremacist that other white supremacists look up to being mentioned. This context needs to be referenced every single time he is discussed, for example when Elon Musk gives him an enormous platform.
Here are just a few things from the recent past that you need to know about Tucker Carlson:
> Richard Spencer celebrated O’Reilly’s replacement, arguing Carlson showed an “open-mindedness” to white supremacist ideas that O’Reilly didn’t. Former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke frequently tweets praise of Tucker’s show. And the white supremacist website Daily Stormer has called Carlson “literally our greatest ally.”
> The son of Stormfront founder Don Black revealed on CNN on Saturday that his family watches Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for tips on white supremacist talking points.
> “It’s really, really alarming that my family watches Tucker Carlson show once and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the white nationalist talking points better than they have and they’re trying to get some tips on how to advance it,”
"Tucker Carlson has long been full of praise for Vladimir Putin, and apparently someone in the ranks of Russia’s state-run TV has taken notice. Rossiya 24 is now running episodes of Carlson’s show, complete with a Russian voice-over, that were posted to X and YouTube days prior…."
#StephenColbert asking #JenPsaki if she considers herself a journalist now and if so, how does she stay objective? She basically says journalists don't need to be objective anymore. I think she's wrong but my bet is most Dems agree. Because #Trump is a special threat to our democracy etc etc. But they wouldn't be fine with #TuckerCarlson calling himself a journalist either.
