The New York Times’ Pathetic Hit Job on Tucker Carlson Fails Miserably
American Greatness ^ | 2 May, 2022 | Carpe Diem

Posted on 05/03/2022 4:41:08 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Last weekend, New York Times “political and investigative reporter” Nicholas Confessore disgorged more than 15,000 words in an effort to smear and vilify Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his viewers. Confessore’s real goal, obviously, was to terrify Carlson’s advertisers to withdraw from the highest-rated cable TV talk show in America. Carlson, Confessore and the Times want readers to think, is nothing more than a televangelist for “white nationalists.”

Confessore offers not just one but three absurdly long and profoundly idiotic pieces to his Carlson hit job. The first story will suffice to get the flavor. That’s where Confessore uses the word “racist” no fewer than 10 times to describe Carlson as a bigot who intentionally stokes “white resentment” for his more than 3 million viewers who are also supposedly “racist,” and probably smelly, and poorly educated, too.

This is the same newspaper that covered up the Holocaust, ignored Joseph Stalin’s manufactured famine that killed anywhere from 7-13 million people between 1932 and 1933 in Ukraine, and relentlessly smeared Ronald Reagan.

SNIP

According to the Princeton-educated and Pulitzer Prize-winning Confessore, Carlson, “has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news—and also, by some measures, the most successful.”

Evidently, when someone who isn’t a left-winger happens to be successful and has a large following, it must be because that person is a white supremacist.

Along with “racist,” Confessore uses the phase “white nationalist” no fewer than 10 times in the first piece and suggests that Carlson “has adopted the rhetorical tropes and exotic fixations of white nationalists, who have watched gleefully from the fringes of public life as he popularizes their ideas.”

If the premise is true, America really is a racist country and so we fought the civil war to what end?

Over a half a million Americans fought each other because we knew that a wrong needed to be corrected, and it was.

The demonRATs have always had the ability to deflect their sins over to the pubbies, and have gotten away with it, but no longer, the scent of Musk is now surrounding them.

Nobody with any sense believes the New York Slimes. They are wasting their time.

Problem is, outside of this forum, and forums like it, there are precious few with any sense.

Au contaire, reads to me like Deep State’s rehabilitation of FNC is still reaping some rewards.

Truth, like education, love of country and commitment to family, is raciest...

Nevertheless, more Democrats watch Tucker Carlson tonight than any other cable news program. And probably more than read the Slimes.
It's hard for a far left , totally discredited outfit like The Slimes to win a war against the super highly rated and trusted Tucker Carlson.

Sounds to me like Nicky is a tad bit jealous of Tucker fame and audience size.

In spite of great ratings, I cannot I recall even one main stream company that advertises on Tucker Carlson.

The Pillow Guy - Gov. Huckabee endorses some kind of energy pill for old folks - a charity that helps elderly Jewish people in foreign countries - promos for Fox News subscription streaming programs...

I would be surprised if the Tucker Carlson show breaks even every month.

By the way, the Pillow Guy is selling his entire product line at huge discounts - my instincts say he is going under in the near future. I think he lost a big time lawsuit over his un-proved 2020 election allegations.

Actually, Fox News is very profitable. Has been for as long as I can remember.
And Tucker’s super high ratings of course give other Fox prime time programs a big boost.
Fox wouldn’t be giving Tucker even more new programs to host if he were not making plenty of money for them. That’s not how it works.

"Joseph Stalin's manufactured famine that killed anywhere from 7-13 million people between 1932 and 1933 in Ukraine."

Maybe that's what the "One-Worlder's" big plan is all about. Big food shortage in the world...millions, maybe even BILLIONS of people die of starvation and disease.

Maybe their thinking is something like: If we can get the disease part just right, it will solve our food shortage thing..

Or else shoving some chopped up memory foam into cloth bags doesn't cost anywhere near $70 and without a distribution network and retail stores taking big cuts he can sell for far less.

Lindell has always sold his merchandise at hefty discounts. It is part of his marketing strategy. And his election allegations have been proven accurate to my satisfaction.

It is good that vile, smear-merchants like Nicholas Confessore are widely published. Regular people can see for themselves precisely what kind of people compose the “ruling class”.

Joy(less) Reid and Rev'rund Al are real racists. I don't recall any racism from Tucker, even once.

Newspapers are so 18th. century. Can’t imagine them being around in twenty years.
