Tucker Carlson is devoting an entire segment to attacking my colleague, Brandy Zadrozny, for doing actual reporting, like using public records to confirm identities of people who create harassment campaigns.
It's disgraceful.
She's the best reporter I know. I'm with her 1000%.
Had Tucker looked into this, his guest was emailed by Brandy the day before about a story she's doing about his website. He spent the day tweeting retributively at her.
That wasn't mentioned. Seems pretty important to include.
Anyways, that was a hideously unethical segment by Tucker Carlson, framing using basic reporting tools like public records searches as some sort of evil act.
To do it to a mom, and one of the best people I know, is disgusting. I won't forget it.
In conclusion, the guy who Tucker had on his show to rail against Brandy for being a reporter had this incredibly normal image of her made for his site today.
I think it's pretty badass, personally. Making it is not normal, but I think she should frame it.

Rudy Giuliani has spent the last week teasing multimedia of Hunter Biden doing something sexually nefarious on a hacked laptop. He's had this allegedly criminal evidence for a year. He's produced nothing.
That same thing, featuring himself, will be on Amazon Prime on Friday.
As far as we can tell, all of the major radicalization-driving QAnon videos — some of which have tens of millions of views — are still up at press time. YouTube said enforcement will take a minute.
In our reporting, YouTube was QAnon's largest remaining radicalization driver.
This enforcement action puts YouTube somewhere in between Twitter (make QAnon accounts harder to find, ban overt harassment) and Facebook (outright ban on QAnon content).
More astroturfed fake African-American pro-Trump accounts. Almost 10,000 retweets in three hours.
Posing as Black users is a concerted disinformation effort by pro-Trump trolls in this election cycle, as noted in this story, and one that dates back more than a half-decade, discovered by Black women on Twitter, including @blackamazon and @digitalsista. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
This specific account was spotted by @BenCollins1776, my namesake and considerably better Ben Collins. Benception.
In 2016, one of the alleged plotters of Whitmer’s kidnapping pushed pro-Trump conspiracy theories that absolved Russia of meddling in the 2016 election, calling investigations of Trump an "uprising.”
BREAKING: Facebook bans QAnon across its platforms
Facebook "will remove Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts for representing QAnon" like any other militarized social movement, militia or terror group. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Facebook's QAnon ban is the most sweeping content moderation step I've seen from any social media company so far.
This won't just ban certain posts. Facebook will ban Groups, Pages and Instagram accounts that post about QAnon, a militarized movement. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
QAnon will now be treated like other militias and terror groups that have been tied to real-world violence and repeatedly fantasize about violence and mass slaughter.
