Was Tucker Carlson Always This Way?

My current view: both people and publicans often do good work...during a limited window. Some people do good work across their entire careers, obviously. In the pop political realm, Andrew Sullivan is a good example of the latter. I think Carlson (and, to some extent, even Candace Owens) is an example of the former. I thought he was doing interesting stuff for...maybe a year? Before that and after that...ehhhh... Apparently the other day he was interviewing Nick Fuentes (about whom I know almost nothing, incidentally...but I do know the conventional wisdom...), who said something like that he was a fan of Stalin. Which...there's got to be some twist to that story... But anyway, he, Carlson, kind of let that slide. He was taken aback, and said they'd need to return to it. I don't know how bad it is that he didn't get around to it. But anyway.

   Maybe it's a little like being a "one-hit wonder." There's a derogatory aspect of that phrase...but I always want to ask in response: how many chart-topping pop hits do you have? Probably your no Buggles, Mr. looks-down-on-1HWs...

   Anyway. As far as publications go, I think the Federalist is a good example--you can find some great stuff there...but...you have to pick through some trash...

   But, then, the same can be said of e.g. the Atlantic...

   Though: the world is largely composed of differences of degree...

   When it comes down to it, I haven't really seen anything Carlson has done in...well, again, maybe a year or something. So I don't really know.
