We don’t have many journalists in America anymore. Instead, what we have is radical activists parading around in their skin coats.
The trick is always the same: reach out to a given company or individual for “comment” innocently asking why they’d choose to associate with a bigoted, racist, sexist, right-wing fascist Nazi. The question itself is the threat. Cancel who we want you to, or our reporting will call you all of these things as well.
So with Tucker Carlson’s announcement of his upcoming speaking tour, this is exactly the dirty trick CNN decided to pull. Tickets for the 15-city tour went on sale June 14 through Ticketmaster, making the distributor an immediate target of the network’s ire. Of course it was Oliver Darcy, CNN’s new chief in-house eunuch after Brian Stelter’s defenestration, who took the shot.
“Tucker Carlson is going on tour. Ticketmaster is profiting off his hateful rhetoric,” reads Darcy’s hysterical headline. The first half of the piece is dedicated to slamming Tucker himself, calling him everything from a lying conspiracy theorist spreading “dangerous disinformation” to quoting The New York Times suggesting his former Fox News show might be the “most racist” in cable news history.
He took further umbrage with some of Tucker’s scheduled special guests, which include Alex Jones, Charlie Kirk, Megyn Kelly, Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kid Rock, Roseanne, Vivek Ramaswamy, Dan Bongino and Donald Trump Jr. It’s the who’s who of the left-wing Most Wanted list. How dare they travel America speaking to Americans’ concerns?
