Carlson Decries Political Stunts, Forgetting His Own Stagecraft
Tucker Carlson, whose media empire was built on meticulously crafted outrage and the weaponization of every single incident for 'political points,' now finds conservatives playing the same game in Minnesota distasteful. The irony is so thick you could carve it. This is the same pundit who, for years on Fox News and now on X, routinely cherry-picks stories to fuel culture wars and vilify opponents,
often stretching facts to fit a pre-determined political narrative. One might wonder if Carlson’s sudden aversion to 'scoring political points' only applies when he isn't the one holding the scoreboard. His entire brand is predicated on turning every news item into a rallying cry for his base, be it immigration, crime, or 'globalism' – all meticulously designed to generate engagement and, yes,
political points. Perhaps the only 'scoring' he truly objects to is when someone else makes the basket. (Or when the 'score' doesn’t align with his current employer's agenda.)
