Cr. not that i entirely approve of these alinsky type rhetorical monkeyshines, but he's brilliant at dancing around the 'line' without crossing it.

his discussion about of the Nike/Kaepernick/NFL story tonight was a great example. the whole subtext was the white vs. nonwhite dynamic involved, but he never comes out and says so.

but his audience is never left in doubt.

But according to Carlson, censorship is everywhere. Liberals are suppressing free speech in America by saying they are offended by everything, he tells me. The tech guy at Google, he says, who was fired for exercising his free speech. Carlson is referring to the ex-Google employee James Damore who wrote posts on an internal company message board attributing psychological differences between men and women as the reason there was a gender gap at Google. Damore, Carlson argues, was fired for exercising his free speech. He was the epitome of diversity. And he got fired in the name of diversity. America, what a country. It’s totally Orwellian.

And did I know that biologists have proven there are only two genders? Just two. And no high school teacher in the world would tell me otherwise. But it makes liberals mad when you say the truth. Get a biologist to say he’s wrong and he’ll listen but until then. No.

I point out that sexuality and gender are inherently different and maybe he’s conflating the two. “Look biological reality is… super deep and exists apart from whatever social construct you’re buying into…and that comes with all kinds of physical consequences,” he explains, explaining nothing.

After the interview, I sent his PR person a link to an article that explains how science has indeed concluded that gender is not binary. His PR person told me “he has no comment on that.”

ok so she clearly didn't get the Google guy's argument and Tucker's argument about him, and instead reverted to the usual (and in this case, irrelevant) liberal talking point.

This is objectively bad writing. For significant portions of the article, you can't tell if it's about Carlson or the author. The theme is supposed to be how Carlson was a promising talent who went astray, but since he is conservative, the author cannot resist bashing his early work as well. And there is nothing at all in the article that suggests the author is capable of the realization that there could be a competing viewpoint, let alone understanding what that viewpoint could be.

I'm going to offer a counter-point to the poasts bashing the article. I think it's a well-written piece that subtly answers the question. It's not a hit-piece on Tucker so much as it is a commentary on modern media.

1) The use of the author's personal background highlights the contrast between following a traditional route in journalism and going down the reactionary/activist entertainment path. The author is poor. She does not have a fan-base that hangs on her every word. At best, she will receive awards given by some old coots who don't matter. No one will remember her. Her voice will soon be lost. And in the end, every writer wants to be remembered.

Tucker won a prestigious nomination for one of his magazine pieces, and his boss at the newspaper in Arkansas remembered him as a great journalist. But no one else cares about or remembers that part of his career.

2) When Tucker started the Daily Caller he wanted it to be known as a place of journalistic integrity where stories were created and not another site for reaction and partisan analysis of the day's news. People around him admit this quickly changed once they analyzed the internet traffic data to see what people wanted.

People want to be a victim and part of a "revolution" to right the wrongs that have been visited upon them. In contrast, traditional journalism, at its best, offers boring detached analysis. At its worst, it comes off as a lecture from a school marm (and usually a liberal one). To his fans, Tucker is a revolutionary sticking it to the man, and that's a pretty fun position to be in, especially when you're raking in the big bucks. The author is a lonely nobody.

3) Tucker's views haven't changed THAT much. The author looks at his old pieces, disagrees with some of what they say, but admits that they are witty and well-written. She talks to his old boss and people who knew him in the past and learns that he was charming, intelligent, and sophisticated. But his ideas had no impact on the greater public. Being well-liked by the intelligentsia doesn't translate to getting your ideas across to the public. His schtick is a dumbed-down version of his old views and incorporates the tired maneuvering of countless cable news hosts, but it gets clicks and views.

4) As Tucker noted in his previous book over a decade ago, cable news hosts end up adopting their tv persona. Tucker is no longer the charming, witty sophisticate of the past, but an evasive, grumpy, contrarian cable news host.

The author literally got divorced because her husband was a Trumpmo:

But Carlson isn’t being silenced. He’s plenty loud enough. And anyway I don’t want to silence him. I don’t want to end free speech, I just want to tell him speech has consequences. I tell him that a year after Trump was elected I ended my 12-year marriage to a Republican.

“I’ve seen speech have real disastrous consequences. I am going through a divorce right now because of the way speech and politics and religion have worked out in my own marriage. So yes, I see intellectually, free speech. But personally, I see the deep pain. Like everyone, I see a problem in America and I don’t know a way around it.”

Great ESPNW article from the author

http://www.espn.com/espnw/voices/article/21317468/shalane-flanagan-marathon-win-win-women-need

>> Despite that doubt, or maybe because of it, on Sunday, Flanagan became the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon since 1977.

Flanagan's win would be inspiring in any year. But it is especially so in 2017, a year that has pushed women to their physical and emotional limits. Our bodies are besieged. Every day, we wake up to news about allegations of rampant sexual abuse across industries. Watching women such as Flanagan, Serena Williams, and Sloane Stephens use their bodies to exert raw, physical strength and power outside of the limits of cultural control is more necessary now than ever. <<
