Carlson is right that "journalism should always be upward. We should be doing the tough stories on the people with the most power." But he's clearly not reading much, because that's what journalists ARE doing. He claims "there's no scrutiny on Jeff Bezos," for example. Really?
Carlson touts his new streaming docu-series, "45 minutes or an hour on one topic," and says it's "basic journalism. That's almost groundbreaking today. It doesn't really happen anymore." Huh? Tell that to the 1000s of folks who are part of a decade-long documentary renaissance!
In this part of his rant, Carlson likens journalists to "cringing animals who are not worthy of respect." He says "they are such cowards." His colleagues who cover the news for a living should ask: "Do you think I'm a coward too, Tucker?"
