Independent podcaster Tucker Carlson recently posted a hilarious text exchange between himself and a reporter from the New York Times who was preparing a hit piece about pro-masculine social media personality Andrew Tate and attempting a guilt-by-association smear against Carlson.
The reporter wrote in the text that they were preparing a report that references Carlson’s interview with Andrew Tate from 2023, which she claimed “mispresented” Tate’s criminal allegations in Romania. She also chided Carlson for not pressing Tate on his “previous comments about exploiting women.”
Carlson responded: “You have part of the story but not all of it. In fact Tate’s plan was to recruit an entire sleeper cell of ideologically-aligned podcasters to subvert American society with his radical views on the patriarchy, creatine and the war inGaza. I was only one of many. As you can see, the effort is now bearing its dangerous fruit. I assume at some point Tate’s Operation High T will be the subject of a DoJ investigation, if not a military tribunal, but in the mean time I want to thank you for your important work. I hope you will quote me.”
Carlson’s response is a masterclass in how to deal with fake news “journalists.” They deserve no respect and should be ruthlessly mocked whenever possible. The new media, with voices like Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate who give their uncensored opinions, is rapidly supplanting them, and their biased hit pieces have never had less of an impact than they do right now.
