Tucker Carlson’s brand of smarmy, misogynistic, condescending, white supremacist garbage was broadcast every day for like two decades. Nothing we’re seeing is new. It’s just distilled and unvarnished.
This guy was gifted nearly two decades worth of national exposure even though he continually scapegoated vulnerable populations and pushed blatant white supremacy. Every single cable network paid him. Every one let it happen.
The problem isn’t just Tucker Carlson, it’s this cesspool of spectacle that breeds and aggrandize people like him. The networks spotlight provocateurs and idiots who shout louder and say dumber things. This can change. It has to change.
