It is a SIN to interview anyone anymore. UNLESS you’re leftist MSM, then you can interview the devil if you want - no repercussions.

Tucker can interview whomever he wants. Shirer interviewed high Nazis throughout the 1930s. I wonder if the Times was against that?
Have YOU watched the interview? In its entirity?
Do you believe the NY Time’s characterization of it? Take it at face value?
If so, why?
The fact that you accept anything the corporate gaslight press says pegs you as the druggie.
Smart move.
The smart money is on the NY Times lying about the event.
Great summary.
+1
The NYT published garbage from its correspondent Walter Duranty, denying the Holodomor, Stalin’s terror-famine in Ukraine.
Free speech requires allowing loathesome scum to express their wrong-headed ideas. No one is obligated to give them a forum. Carlson should have known what his guest was about, and presented the facts and arguments that would help ignorant auditors figure out the truth. (I haven’t seen the program — maybe he did.)
The Nazis went into WWII with every intention of depopulating Eastern Europe so it could provide Lebensraum for Aryans to fill. They also made no secret of their rabid anti-Semitism and desire to “resolve” what they called the Jewish Question. The methods and goals of the slaughter were sometimes ad hoc, evolved, and were shaped by military situations caused by the Nazi regime’s own decisions. It is preposterous to pretend that means it was all some sort of accident.
“ If we detest those he interviews, we have the option to not watch.”
Carlson has the option not to give legitimacy and publicity to holocaust denier trash.
Those kind of people are dirtbags.
NO I DIDN’T
I’m sure that is part of the reason however I think there is a bigger picture that you are missing.
He produced a lengthy history podcast called “Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem” which details the history of Zionism from the 1890 to 1947 and the establishment of Israel.
Unfortunately for him, he presented a very even handed story depicting the horrors done to the Jews at the hands of the Europeans and Russians prompting their desire for Zionism and the horrors done to the Palestinians at the hands of the Jews.
Like his interpretation of Churchill, this broke a very strict taboo of how we are allowed to view the formation of Israel.
This fact along with the fact that he is friends with many anti-Zionists has upset a group of influential and powerful media people.
“Carlson’s just doing his job, interviewing. If we detest those he interviews, we have the option to not watch.”
No, was he NOT just interviewing. He welcomed his guest while praising him to the moon. And he sat in awe as his guest spouted absurd historical revisionism.
An interview doesn’t mean that the interviewer must sit like a mute lump while the interviewee delivers bold-faced lies.
Have you listened to the interview? I have. It was disgusting.
Cooper has the mentality of a 17 year old. But he’s our 17 year old. He needs to listen more and talk less
Notice how only Republicans are called on to “denounce” or “disavow” someone?
I think everybody should get to talk and we should get to decide who and what to believe.
Which part specifically did you find disgusting?
If you want to bring race into it, I think you have the wrong target.
Why would anyone believe the NYT's spin on it?
I’m talking about Zionists and the country of Israel. Not all Jews are Zionists.
