I want to add a footnote to my comments here and hereon Tucker Carlson’s interview with Darryl Cooper. The proposition that Tucker is only asking questions as a journalist is a meretricious falsehood. Tucker introduces Cooper as the world’s greatest historian. You may not be familiar with Cooper’s views — I was pleased never to have heard of him — but Carlson is. As anyone who pays the price of shedding brain cells to listen to the video will discover, Carlson agrees with Cooper. He isn’t just asking questions. He seeks to promote Cooper’s views.
They both present as an exhibit in willfully ignorant stupidity or, as I believe, something worse. Tucker is not a disinterested bystander or seeker. Anyone who contends otherwise is inattentive or full of it.
