Mainstream Media 'Discovers' White Supremacy, Ignores Its Own
The Independent breathlessly reports that Tucker Carlson is losing sponsors for a “fawning interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.” And rightly so; associating with Fuentes is anathema to any credible platform. But while they champion accountability for Carlson, these same outlets regularly host and legitimize figures whose policies result in far more widespread death and destruction, often
without a whisper of sponsor withdrawal. Where is the righteous indignation when mainstream networks provide airtime to individuals like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government has been accused of war crimes by groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International? Netanyahu, who has openly stated, regarding Gaza, 'We are fighting Amalek,' a biblical reference interpreted by
some as a call for annihilation, faces no sponsorship boycott from CNN or Fox. The hypocrisy is stunning: Fuentes's words are toxic, yet architects of ethnic cleansing are considered legitimate talking heads. (One might wonder about the metrics of moral outrage.)
