Carlson could have offered a counterpoint instead of a polemic; he could have encouraged a debate. Instead he chose to lie about Yellen’s words. That made for more impact, more rage, not informed discussion. It was paradoxical, because just a few moments later, Carlson claimed “they,” the people in charge, “don’t want a debate.” When he worked at Heritage, he said, the idea was that “just because the other side was rotten didn’t mean you could be rotten.” But he had stopped applying that principle many, many years—and many, many rotten words—ago.
This is sad. I lready feel A VERY TINY bit sad for Tucker, becauss this is pathetic. Do better.
