tucker carlson is a foppish frozen TV dinner empire heir, a virulent bigot, and a grotesque opportunist/propagandist. it's embarrassing that NPR editors think he needs more attention for his phony-ass pivot away from a nightmare he helped build

sure, he's a soulless propagandist whose movement destroyed America's already shaky public media while sending the country spiraling into the arms of historically corrupt and bigoted extremists, but HIS DOGS WERE WELL BEHAVED

this shit is so frustrating because there's SO MANY interesting and under-platformed artists, academics, scientists, thinkers, doers, and activists out there to spend outlet resources on, yet the press endlessly platforms and amplifies the biggest dipshits imaginable

Carlson is one of the few people on the right who understood that the only path to relevance post-Trump was leaving early, even if it meant being on the outs with his crowd for a while. It's all just a basic, calculated trajectory to being important again in a few years, and folks fall for it.
