Tucker Carlson has done a couple of questionable interviews lately. I find the one where Tucker decides to ask a Palestinian Christian cleric how the Israelis treat Christians disturbing. Why didn’t he interview a Christian cleric or Christian living in Israel how they get treated?
Of course the Palestinian Christian had a negative slant. In fact the Christians in Israel are treated no differently than anyone else. The Arabs in Israel are treated well.
Tucker had newly minted anti Semite Candace Owens on to commiserate over her fight with Ben Shapiro. I did not see Tucker giving her any type of pushback over her unhinged theories.
A journalist doesn’t do interviews with people who they alway agree with. They do controversial interviews that allow different perspectives on hot issues.
What is a “questionable interview”? An interview with someone you yourself do not want to hear? maybe it is best to hear them and decide for yourself rather that just accept what you have been conditioned to accept by sources around you.
We live in a world now where we don’t let anyone finish. We jump right in there with a label to slap on a person without hearing them out or caring that sometimes things aren’t always “either...or”.
You assume that if he interviews a person like Owens that he has to pushback rather than just let her speak and allow the listener to decide what they think.
Most people want free speech and the only way that happens is to allow free speech whether you like the message or not.
If the message is obviously to slander another person with lies then the other person has a legal recourse.
Tucker doesn’t usually do interviews to be combative. He mostly invites them on and lets them speak.
