Fox News host Tucker Carlson has this uncanny ability to bring out the worst in so-called journalists, primarily because he’s usually so on the money in calling out their rampant liberal political biases and the real motivations behind why they report on the stories they do.
As readers will recall, Carlson has been widely blamed by leftists and media types (but I repeat myself) in the aftermath of the racially-motivated Buffalo grocery store mass shooting tragedy earlier this month that killed ten and injured three, despite the shooter never once mentioning Carlson in his 180-page manifesto. In fact, mentioned in the manifesto was the shooter’s hatred for numerous Fox News Jewish media figures, though those facts have been lost in the despicable Blame Games Democrats relish playing after such horrific events happen in this country.
While Carlson handled the accusations appropriately by making his critics look even more childish and foolish, unfortunately, it hasn’t deterred them from continuing to do what they do, as evidenced by this weird Wednesday tweet from USA Today “extremism” journalist Will Carless fretting about Carlson’s Twitter bio (Twitter has put a bizarre content warning on the screengrabs, but I assure you’re they’re okay to view):
Um.@TuckerCarlson’s Twitter bio still says he went to Harvard and Yale (he didn’t), is fully vaccinated, and uses “They” pronouns.
Not sure if this is supposed to be funny (it’s not) or if he was hacked. pic.twitter.com/58xiRzdbdc

And just so you know, that tweet was a follow-up to one posted less than 24-hours earlier, because ZOMG this is such a big freakin’ deal, ya know, and we need to get to the bottom of it stat:

Obviously, someone either doesn’t understand or is feigning ignorance over the obvious mockery that Carlson is engaging in with his Twitter profile, but the bigger point here is that with everything going on in the world right now …
Who cares?
Tucker Carlson-obsessed “journalists” do, that’s who. Oddly enough, it almost seems like Carless is also trying to blame Tucker for the horrific Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting, because tweets like these keep being thrown into his feed alongside stories from the MSM about what happened Tuesday:
.@nickconfessore your series on @TuckerCarlson was great and I really enjoyed your Daily segment on Replacement Theory.
Did you see this one from a week before Buffalo: https://t.co/KjLRNzPaDz

Right. Countdown to this being on Tucker Carlson Tonight …
Doesn’t matter that it’s totally false. https://t.co/WGAWFirDME

Isn’t it fascinating how the “facts first” crowd is always quick to correct Republican claims even though they present no “facts” of their own to prove their own claims that Carlson is even remotely responsible for inspiring incidents of mass violence in America?
This is why I so rarely believe fact-checkers, and even less-so supposed “experts” in the media when it comes to their “analyses” and dissections of popular conservative commentators, because – again, as Carlson has also pointed out – their rationales are often flawed, their premises are half-baked, and their “gotcha” quotes usually leave something vital out that completely undercuts their arguments.
By design.
But you know, #priorities and all. Because wouldn’t it be just awful (for them) to find out that Carlson’s mockery of the media is more on-point than probably anything Carless and his ilk have ever written?
