They recently put out a desperate hit piece on Carlson recycling decade plus-old clips of him on Florida shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge\u2019s radio show. The clips contain a smattering of out-of-context satirical points and hot takes on culture topics\u2014standard, vanilla comedy radio banter. However, no crude remark made by Carlson compares to the vulgar, relentless barbarity David Brock\u2019s Media Matters has promoted in media for decades. While Carlson may have made flippant and poor taste comments, Media Matters wants a world where millions of people of color overseas have no news anchor on nightly news making the case against our interventions and sanctions of their homelands.<\/p>\n<p>Media Matters and their army of email bots are flooding sponsors demanding they desist advertising on Carlson\u2019s program to prove their virtue for the concern for underage sex abuse victims. This is preposterous. While Brock\u2019s Media Matters was busy shilling positive media coverage of Obama\u2019s illegal wars in Libya, Yemen, and Syria, Tucker Carlson was making a spirited defense against our meddling in these countries\u2019 affairs. Unlike Media Matters, which remains curiously silent when Trump continues his opponents\u2019 sanctions and regime change, Carlson continues to challenge him based on the same principles which led him to renounce his support of the Iraq War.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ship-Fools-Selfish-Bringing-Revolution\/dp\/1501183664?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=1501183664\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51fZv%2Bs54lL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ship-Fools-Selfish-Bringing-Revolution\/dp\/1501183664?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=1501183664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ship of Fools: How a S&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-author\">Tucker Carlson<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-lowest-used\"><span class=\"appip-lowest-used\"><span class=\"appip-label label-lowest-used\">Best Price: <\/span>$1.65<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-label label-formatted-price\">Buy New <\/span>$7.20<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-disclaimer-new\"><span style=\"display:block;color:#888;font-size: .80em; padding: 0 0 3px 0;\">(as of 04:35 EDT &#8211; <span style=\"cursor:pointer;\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
