Tucker Carlson Tonight<\/em>\u00a0is the best show on American news television. It is not, as his tedious enemies insist, Trump propaganda. Quite the opposite: it is a rare bright spot of originality in an otherwise arid media landscape.<\/p>\n

Every night, almost without fail, Carlson introduces his 3.2 million viewers to an interesting thought or a different way of looking at the world. TV news is repetitive; that is its nature. But Carlson\u2019s show manages to cover the talking points in a different key. He also introduces new opinions and ideas into the media bloodstream.<\/p>\n

Carlson takes seriously his catchphrase about being \u2018the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink.\u2019 That\u2019s why so many dishonest, self-important, conceited arseholes are determined to destroy him.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why reports that corporate advertisers are pulling out of his show are gleefully recirculated by media hacks who normally pretend…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
