Fake Outrage Over Tucker Carlson

So what did Tucker (Referred to by Rush Limbaugh as Chatsworth Osborne Jr.) do? Shame on Fox News if they do not stand up for Tucker Carlson. TD

Media Matters trying to silence Tucker Carlson, but he fights back with epic response
"Because the Left knows that it loses the argument anytime the merits of its policies are discussed, it has weaponized selective outrage in order to silence the most effective voices against it. Sunday night, timed to make headlines and generate Twitter storms as the new week began, Media Matters, the Soros-funded nonprofit whose donors receive tax deductions, launched an attack intended to drive advertisers away from Tucker Carlson’s prime time show on Fox News Channel. Their purported evidence:" . . .
. . . "Last night, Tucker responded in the opening segment of his show, well-worth almost 7 minutes of your time, refusing to play the outrage game, and calling out the effort to silence voices that the Left cannot defeat with fact and reason:"



As you can imagine CNN was happy to cover both Carlson as well as Judge Jeanine Pirro. Naturally CNN's Tucker title was, "Fox News’ Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize for his misogynistic remarks". 

Tucker Carlson: We will never bow to the leftist mob's attempts to silence us, no matter what  . . . "As anyone who has ever been caught in its gears can tell you, the great American outrage machine is a remarkable thing. One day you're having dinner with your family, imagining everything is fine. The next, your phone is exploding with calls from reporters. 
"They read you snippets from a press release written by Democratic Party operatives. They demand to know how you could possibly have said something so awful and offensive, and ask something like, "Do you have a statement on how immoral you are?" It's a bewildering moment, especially when the quotes in question are more than a decade old." . . .

No, Tucker Carlson Shouldn’t Apologize Because We All Know The Left's End Game Here  . . . "Apparently, Media Matters, a left-wing outlet, decided to comb through years of radio clips for some reason in order to execute a hit job against Tucker Carlson. The Left hates him. So, he has to go. He shreds liberal narratives daily on his show on Fox News. And because he has differing opinions—he must be destroyed. This is progressivism in 2019 (via WaPo): . . ."

The Culture of Fake Outrage Comes for Tucker Carlson  "Ideological search-and-destroy missions are worse for America than shock-jock interviews."  
. . . "I don’t like what Tucker said, but here’s what is far, far worse for our nation and our culture than a pundit saying shocking things to a shock jock: the creation and sustainment of an outrage industry that spends millions of dollars (and countless man-hours) in the quest to destroy the lives and careers of the people it dislikes.

"Here’s the way it works. If you’re a conservative or a Republican who attains any kind of prominence at all, then the hunt is on. Media Matters has its rolling list of allegedly bad or silly things I’ve said and written, for example. And the more prominent you are, the more diligent the hunt. People will listen to hundreds of hours of radio shows or podcasts. They’ll watch tapes of cable news until their eyes glaze over. They’ll scan through hundreds of thousands of written words — letting the sum total of the person’s worldview and body of work wash over them — looking for that “gotcha” moment, the word or phrase that proves “the bad man really is bad.' ” . . .

(CNN's) Joan Walsh of The Nation joined the George Soros-funded attack on Tucker Carlson for using the C-word  . . . "She should have stayed on the porch because she defended Samantha Bee for calling Ivanka Trump the C-word on a taped, scripted show that Time-Warner censors approved." 
"That was on the company's TBS channel. Walsh works for Time-Warner's CNN channel." . . .
