Greenwald: The Loss of Tucker Carlson is the Loss of a Rare Independent Voice in Media

link

Tucker's a wild man, and his recent JFK and UFO shows were just plain loony.

But I agree with Greenwald about the claim in the title. Not sure how one could disagree.

Of course independent doesn't necessarily mean right or good. But Carlson is also often--though not always, of course--one or both of those things.

Progressivism is a soft totalitarian movement. It aims to exert control over what we see, hear, say and think. Carlson was an impediment to that--whatever else you could say about him. 

This is also another indication that Fox is moving leftward. Whatever my disagreements with them, that's obviously cause for concern. Though it may just be a natural movement toward the fat part of the viewership curve after the de facto demise of CNN.
