Wow. A journalist with some self-respect and humility.
This COULD be what therapists like to call a teachable moment for the country as it was for this writer. There’s little chance it will ..but he’s likely to convince some.
He’s a former “conservative” talk show host in Seattle....I’m surprised he was scammed....by the “news” media....
John Carlson was a conservative talker on KVI for quite some time.
The fact that he believed the lies and spin ginned up by the Martin family legal team, and the PR firm (Julison Communications) hired by Ben Crump to put pressure on the Florida justice system to file charges speaks volumes.
The spin machine got the first impression out, and I believe many conservatives bought into it because it made them appear “reasonable” and was a cheap inoculation against being thought of as racist.
The sad fact is that anyone that believes the MSM on any story without independent verification, especially if it involves race, is a fool, and if you voice an opinion based on that naive trust, you become a tool.
Carlson is a good guy, and he saw the light, but the fact that he got used by the race hustlers shouldn’t be the basis for an apology, it should be the spark for anger.
Carlson owes it to his listeners to call out the schemers who used him, but I bet, in order to stay in good graces with his current mainstream audience on KOMO, he won’t go there.
