Instead of having the biggest prime-time audience in cable news, he would have been doing Joy Reid numbers, and Fox executives wouldn\u2019t have tolerated it for a week, let alone for six years.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after Fox announced Monday that it had unceremoniously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/04\/27\/tucker-hints-at-his-future-plans-in-new-video-blasts-corporate-media-for-banning-real-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kicked Carlson to the curb<\/a>, leftists on every competing channel and in every prominent publication were sure to repeat ad infinitum that the host\u2019s show was \u201cracist,\u201d \u201cxenophobic,\u201d and a place for rampant \u201cconspiracy theories.\u201d That it\u2019s a requirement to use those terms, applicable synonyms, and nothing else outside of them, is not an overstatement. <\/p>\n<p>To wit, the left-wing American Prospect magazine this week ran one of the more thoughtful <a href=\"https:\/\/prospect.org\/politics\/2023-04-25-tucker-carlson-smuggest-man-on-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reflections on Carlson<\/a>, describing him as, \u201can entertainer equally skilled at skewering comfortable pieties on the left and right\u201d and his show as \u201can outlier in corporate-owned cable news\u201d that \u201cdeclined to play the gatekeeping role that many of Carlson\u2019s detractors demand of mainstream media platforms.\u201d In other words, Carlson was an engaging host who shirked conformity.<\/p>\n<p>That innocuous depiction was greeted by the Prospect\u2019s fellow liberals with relentless derision and scorn. So much so that the magazine\u2019s executive editor was intimidated into publishing a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddayen\/status\/1651237936984096769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> apologizing for the piece and promising to \u201cwork hard to earn back whatever trust has been lost.\u201d Then he allowed two other writers to write a \u201cresponse\u201d attacking the original article and, of course, asserting the mandatory vocabulary when discussing Tucker: \u201cracism,\u201d \u201cxenophobia,\u201d and \u201cconspiracy theories.\u201d (I\u2019m not including a link to the follow-up piece because the writers attacked their colleague in it and, out of spite, refused to link back to their own publication. They don\u2019t deserve the respect.)<\/p>\n<p>If Carlson\u2019s show was simply about hating non-whites and spreading fantasies that bear no semblance to reality, it would have been no more relevant to the national dialogue than whatever Keith Olbermann is doing these days.<\/p>\n<p>Saying something racist is not interesting. \u201cI hate black people\u201d carries the same weight as \u201cThat\u2019s racist.\u201d As with every deception spouted by the media, the truth about Tucker is far more intriguing. All of his viewers know it, and so do the people who lie about him. He told the truth about the things that matter. The media don\u2019t hate anything more than that.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<div data-image data-amount=\"5\">\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Tucker Carlson\u2019s Fox News program was everything that his miserable critics in the rest of the media say it was, it would have been canceled within days of its launch.
