The New York Times unleashed a flurry of negative press against Tucker Carlson this weekend. The Times published five articles about Carlson on Saturday, including one hit piece that suggested that his ultra-successful Fox News talk show “may be the most racist show in the history of cable news.”
In one article titled “Inside the Apocalyptic Worldview of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’” the Times assigned nine staffers to watch or read transcripts of 1,150 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” between Nov. 14, 2016, when it first aired, until 2021. The analysis was carried out in an effort to “reveal how Tucker Carlson pushes extremist ideas and conspiracy theories into millions of households, five nights a week.” Four additional reporters contributed to the hit piece, including investigative reporter Nicholas Confessore.
Confessore also orchestrated a three-part series titled “American Nationalist” that investigates the “fall and rise of Tucker Carlson and the transformation of American conservatism.”
Confessore explained why he devoted so much time and effort to the Tucker Carlson hit piece:
Why devote thousands of words to a talk show host? Because Carlson, the highest-rated pundit in history, is also a unique figure on the modern American right — a latter-day Father Coughlin and a movement builder in the mold of Pat Buchanan. The story of Tucker Carlson is also the story of how American conservatism evolved from Reagan to Trump — the triumph of the nativist current on the right, and the shrinking boundary between mainline politics and the cranks and conspiracy theorists of QAnon.More successfully than almost anyone else, Carlson has taken a set of themes and conspiracy theories, formerly caged on the fringe of American politics, and brought them to a mainstream audience. His show may be the most racist program in the history of cable news.

I think they confused racist with truth filled.
That word has been rendered utterly meaningless through misdirected overuse.
There is real reason that Tucker should respond to a hit piece from the New York Times. The newspaper no longer has any credibility. It is the propaganda site that absolutely refused to cover or investigate the Hunter Biden laptop story and the site that published the 1619 fiction.Yet it is likely that Tucker will waste time and give some credence to these frauds by responding in a devastating manner.
I have listened to Tucker. Not every night, but I have seen many shows.
Do these people know what racism means? I don’t think it means what they think it means.
(Apologies to Inigo Montoya)
That Babylon Bee article is hardly satire.
“Do these people know what racism means? I don’t think it means what they think it means.”
Don’t you know that the left can change the definiton of a word whenever it suits them. Case in point: vaccine. Online dictionaries will happily go along.
The LIBERAL LEFT continues to run the SAME OLD PLAYBOOK of PLAYS.
They're tactic is NOT to UNITE but to DIVIDE the American people.
An immense amount of people have now began to see these tactics for what they're worth.
Those still subscribing to these OLD, OUTDATED, BROKEN-DOWN IDEAS are what are known as today's DIM-BULBS!

The word racist used to mean something. Now, if you don’t like a person’s hair or his tone of voice or his shoes, you call him a racist. It replaces the all purpose “doody face” we used as kids when we did not like someone. The New York Times is staffed by an army of doody faces.
Uh, he was paid to?
I’m not a big fan of Tucker Carlson, but this is ridiculous. “Racist” is just a catch-all term the left uses to try to demonize anyone they disagree with.
The main purpose is to try to scare off anybody thinking of defending the person, since they would then be tainted as “racist” too.
They want to get any potential defenders to hold back because of fears that employers, coworkers, friends, and family may shun them (if only for fear of being called “racist” themselves).
They are very confused, that’s for sure.
