The latest attempt from corporate media to try and silence Fox News host Tucker Carlson came from a well-worn page in their short playbook and only further proved the only true concern of the hypocritical woke is that of the dissenting voice.
As part of The New York Times ongoing look at the “challenges to democratic norms in the United States and around the world,” reporter Nick Confessore composed a three part piece on the host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” entitled “American Nationalist.” In his effort to smear Carlson’s show as what “may be the most racist program in the history of cable news,” Confessore claims his report is by no means an opinion.
“This isn’t an opinion or a take,” he tweeted to promote the series. “It’s a fact – supported by our content analysis of 1,150 episodes of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.'”

Confessore purports that Carlson’s success is “also the story of how American conservatism evolved from Reagan to Trump – the triumph of the nativist current on the right, and the shrinking boundary between mainline politics and the cranks and conspiracy theorists of QAnon.”
Ironically, while claiming to present a series of facts, Confessore wrote in part, “Our story is based on interviews.” Those interviews were conducted by supposed current and former employees with Fox and friends and colleagues of the host who all chose to remain anonymous. The reporter suggested that Carlson declined an interview. However, the host had plenty to say on his own program Thursday night before the story ran.
“The New York Times preparing yet another story about how this show is racist because we support national borders. If that sounds like a familiar attack, well, cause it is. This has gotta be the tenth or twenty-seventh or two hundred and seventeenth story just like this The New York Times has run and all of them are pretty much identical,” Carlson explained.
Referring to Confessore as one of many “obedient little establishment defenders who will say anything to please their bosses” before adding “They’re suck-ups, brownnosers, lickspittles, not people you’d want to have dinner with,” he asked why they consistently choose this failed line of attack against him when they could pick any number of “controversial” stances he has taken over the years like “marriage makes you happy” or “feminism is a corporate lie.”
Great, 5,000 words of carefully considered thumbsucking carefully curated for college educated centrists. I’m sure this is going to get lots of attention. (It won’t).

Left-wing media’s latest hatchet job on their much more successful competitor.

“And the funny thing is,” Carlson went on, “the one thing we do not have exotic opinions on is race. Our view of race is really simple. We believe Martin Luther King. We don’t think your skin color is the most important thing about you. We think all people were created by God and should therefore be judged by what they do, not by how they look. We say that a lot and we mean it. Most Americans strongly agree with that. We, in fact, would assume that most reporters at The New York Times, agree with that. Only Nazis think your race defines you. And we just don’t believe there are a ton of people in this country, even on the left, who actually believe something that evil.”
Of course, while Carlson notes he doesn’t believe there are that many people in this country who believe race defines you, there appear to be a considerable number in left-wing media who promote that idea. Whether is be MSNBC’s Joy Reid who somehow went completely overlooked by Confessore’s crack team of analysts at the Times for her nightly tirades that routinely find race at the root of all motivations, or CNN’s Brian Stelter who was all too happy to share the Times against Carlson.

Naturally, Stelter doesn’t want to have an actual conversation about this, so he limits who can reply to his posts. This didn’t stop people from commenting though.
Imagine being so universally disliked and wrong on everything, that you can’t even let people comment on your posts. Stelter is an epic failure and 💯 clown. https://t.co/JsQWYBN8kJ

“Tucker Carlson has zapped you out of every ounce of life…” @JacobDelguercio wrote. @dempstermd added, “Hey, how’s y’all’s campaign to get Tucker and Fox kicked off TV going?”
Yet another user made reference to the newly created “Disinformation Governance Board” when he wrote, “I wonder who the Ministry of Truth will target first? Guessing it’s not gonna be Stelter or Ried [sic].”
“So, why do they keep calling us racist? Well, to make us shut-up, obviously,” Carlson concluded much to the same effect. “They tried the same thing with [President Donald] Trump for years. They’re doing it right now to Elon Musk. Of course, if you don’t obey them, they denounce you as a racist. Why do they do this? They do it cause it works. But here’s the thing, it can only work if you play along with it, and we don’t plan to.”
Rating success directly corresponds to reporting the truth. You know, actual journalism. A lesson the failed @NYTimes could learn from.

Nick Confessore is just another weak pretend liberal reporter. Like all Democrats, when they don’t have anything honest to say about anyone who disagrees with them, they resort to false accusations.
When all else is deemed truthful the best way to diffuse the narrative is to call them a RACIST
““This isn’t an opinion or a take,” he tweeted to promote the series. “It’s a fact – supported by our content analysis of 1,150 episodes of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’”” You want to know a fact? The fact is you’re a slime ball liar! Another fact, anything coming out of the New York Slime is nothing but filthy trash! Stuff it dirt bag!
Radio hosts Mark Levin & Glenn Beck, two of many who often mention NY Times of protecting the Nazis & Russia’s Josef Stalin.
Probably TRUE! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE TRUTH IS RACIST!! How can ANYTHING compare to cnn or msnbc as far as RACIST?? OH – he doesn’t mean RACIST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE!!!
“Simply” go away, scammer! We prefer earning our money sitting on our work chairs or standing at our desks rather than “laying” down. 😂

Do they have any Americans working at the Toilet Paper Times ?
Considering that it’s major shareholder is a FOREIGNER (Mexican “Slim something”), wouldn’t you consider ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA as being AN ATTACK ON AMERICA???
NYT is a bird cage liner, even birds might find that insulting. Interviews are opinions, therefore subjective and bias, in this case probably laced with liberal bias. Perhaps someone should teach Confessore the difference between opinion and facts.
If Stelter comes to your rescue, that is a nail on your coffin. LOL
Tucker actually uses facts and government empirical data, not opinions when it comes to blacks who account for only 15% of the total population`. That is what drives liberals nuts – because they cannot refute his claims. When he shows who is doing most of the violent crimes in this country, who is killing themselves and whites in record numbers, who is killing more cops than cops killing blacks, who is doing most of the looting, who has the highest percentage of incarcerated inmates, who has 72% of out of wedlock births, highest percentage of school drop outs, highest percentage of single parent families, highest amount of gang members and drug usage, highest percentage of welfare recipients, and on and on. Blacks account for huge percentages of all those categories, much higher than their 15% of the population- and average fair minded Americans know this, and if they don’t, Tucker is trying to educate them on the facts-not fake narrative of Democrats and their media outlets.
Hate-ful and ugly is all they have! No rational arguments or factual defense.
And isn’t it interesting to note that all of the things you mention about the dysfunctional state of the black experience in America is directly attributable to the Democrat party? I have a friend who is a counselor for the Minneapolis schools who freely admits that the school system is preparing black students for a life of incarceration. Oh, and he’s black by the way.
Do most blacks not understand this, jwwweber55434, or am I missing something? I think the answer lies in history. Know it, or repeat it. If school children are not being taught about the past, how will they know how to fix it?
look at the continent of africa. the should tell you something.
As one who has personally viewed the vast majority of those 1150 shows, I have come to my own diametrically opposite opinion of Tucker Carlson’s views on race.
Equality is now “racism”. Thomas Sowell predicted it. Instead the left wants “equity” which is getting everything they want without EARNING it through work. And Carlson is correct, we don’t have to play along.
WHEN THE LEFTISTS HAVE NO COMEBACK IN ANY ARGUEMENT, YOU CAN BET THE RACE-CARD IS COMING OUT !! LIBERALS WERE NEVER TAUGHT HOW TO LOSE BY THIER BREEDERS AND SO THEY TEND TO TRY AND INFLICT PAIN WITH WORDS, LIKE CHILDREN DO ON THE PLAY GROUND !! F.J.B.
Terms like racist, white privilege, sexist, homo/transphobe, have been used as a weapon against anyone opposed to the leftist’s political philosophy. They are so overused that they no longer have any value.
It’s the PC world, only one truth can exist in their delusional world.
Racism was somewhat effective when I was in my 20’s. Now I am 84 and racism is still used when the left doesn’t approve of you. Really a reflection of our education system when people can’t reply with a cogent response. Oh well! I guess blonds really do have more fun!”
We sure do!! 😂
Who reads this liberal rag?
So am I banned fromBPR?
Well, you’re here, so … no?
I expect you know the older system’s gone, so you can’t use your old profile anymore, if that’s what you’re talking about. Quite a disappointment for me, too; I had lots of comments I’d love to use in my writing.
Well as we all can all see the new “Disinformation Governance Board” is not working as we have not heard anything about how they plan to handle the misinformation by the New York Times that is being put out about Tucker Carlson and his program.When this reporter Nick Confessore makes the statement his article is a fact but then states it is based on interviews from sources who want to remain anonymous it makes his entire article a joke. As for Tucker Carlson identifying as an American Nationalist it would be wise if Mr. Confessore paid attention to the ratings of the Tucker Carlson show as that just may be a good indicator as to how many American Nationalist still live in this great country and are not ready or willing to give it up. Nick Confessore, I assume you are very happy that we still have Free Speech in our country as this affords you the ability to say what you want no matter how incorrect or wrong you may be.
Semper Fi 1969-1989
I know you can’t honestly believe the “Department of Truth” is going to take the NY Slime to task, do you? Or CNN & MSNBC. This “Disinformation Governance Board” has even less integrity than Joseph Goebbels’s “Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda”.
I think he was trying to make a jab at that exact point about their dearth of integrity. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Minitrue, should the tables finally turn on the radicals.
Tucker Carlson is a fearless reporter of the TRUTH. I guess I am a racist because I rank him right up there with Jason Whitlock and Candace Owens. Oh wait, they’re black. Go figure that out lying leftists…….
Yep, anyone who reveals the tremendous crime issue with blacks is called the DimocRATS favorite word, “RACISSST”. Sickening!
The Times consistently says the opposite of what is true. It is as if Biden’s Ministry of Truth is at the helm.
I have a silly but very basic question… WTF color do you bleed? Last time I checked it was red for everybody… Has anything changed? I would ask very politely for those on the left to get their heads out of their backsides. Woke is dead, racism is dead. What is the next poison pill of an idea you morons will come up with that will be crushed… Politically you have had your asses handed to you so this is all you got? Sorry but people have gotten smarter than that…
Shouting “racism” is becoming so trite real people of all colors tend to ignore it. The hypocrites using that term usually have no other recourse because that is the only so-called argument they have left. The NYT, this clown Confessore, Stelter and the rest of his ilk are all losers!!
Here are the RACISTS IN AMERICAN….THEIR HISTORY!
If the Democrats are looking to eradicate every thing with a “racist history”, when will THEY confront and apologize for its own? If racist relics of the past must come down, shouldn’t we start with the Democrat Party?
YOU WANT TO CANCEL CULTURE…START W/democrats!!
AMERICA DIDN’T PROMOTE SLAVERY..DEMS DID!
It is a historical fact that every piece of racist legislation that was
ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was inflicted on
African Americans, was initiated by members of the Democratic Party.
History shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party
legislated Jim Crow laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at
the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as
citizens. Congressional records show it was Democrats that strongly
opposed the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. These three
Amendments were introduced by Republicans to abolish slavery, give
citizenship to all African Americans born in the United States, and give
Blacks the right to vote. Congressional records show that Democrats
were opposed to passing the following laws that were introduced by
Republicans to achieve civil rights for African Americans: Civil Rights
Act of 1866 Reconstruction Act of 1867 Freedman Bureau Extension Act of
1866 Enforcement Act of 1870 Force Act of 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
Civil Rights Act of 1875 Civil Rights Act of 1957 Civil Rights Act of
1960 And during the 60’s many Democrats fought hard to defeat the 1964
Civil Rights Act 1965 Voting Rights Act 1972 Equal employment
Opportunity Act After reviewing all of the evidence, many believe
America would have never experienced racism to the degree that it has,
had not the Democrats promoted it.
The DDD(DUMB DUMBER demonrats) Party started with slave owners of the
south. The KKK was founded and run by DEMOCRATS.DEM President Woodrow
Wilson proudly showed to his Cabinet at the White House the WHITE
SUPREMACIST film “Birth of a Nation” which gloried the KKK. Wilson
segregated the Federal government. The KKK rose to its zenith of power
and respectability because of DEM Pres. Wilson.Margaret Sanger, the
secular patron saint of the DEM Party, was a rabid RACIST WHITE
SUPREMACIST Eugenicist who dreamed of eliminating Blacks from the human
gene pool. LIBS looove her. All but 3 of the 24 Southern DEMS, including
Sen. Al Gore Sr, who for RACIST reasons voted against the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, remained lifelong DEMS as did most their children and
grandchildren. They did not all become Right Wing Republicans. DEM
Senator Robert Byrd, who Hillary called her mentor and the Conscious of
the Senate,, was KKK Grand Dragon who recruited over 150 new KKK
Klansmen. Republican party was founded to END SLAVERY and it did It
continued through the days of LBJ and his “Great Society”. The demonrats
still own slaves, that population that sucks up the welfare and other
enhancements to sustain their lives with absolutely no remorse
for taking unearned welfare. demonrats are desperate to keep these
programs alive and increasing to enhance their voting block and make
their welfare recipients dependent on them. As LBJ said at the signing of
his “Great Society” legislation, “We have now secured the N vote for the
next hundred years.” In other words, he made the
Black/White/Red/Yellow, and Brown Population of welfare recipients
slaves to them with no way out. You say I am WHITE PRIVILEGED I am a
HighSchool dropout I “GET NO HANDOUTS” and “I SUCCEEDED in this GAME
CALLED LIFE” by HARD WORK and PERSEVERANCE So you no what…YOU ALL CAN
KMA with your racebaiting BS get up off your SORRY -SSES and make
something of yourself. Break “THE demonrat STIGMA OF RACISM THEY HAVE
“PUT” AMONG US!” The key to success in this world is to work hard and do what is right. Trying to forcefully take success from people and redistribute it will never work, and the harm always outweighs the good.
Cancel Culture…The Democrat Party should be CANCELED because Democrats were the Slave Owners , Democrats went to WAR with the United States , Democrats ran the KKK , Democrats passed the Jim Crow Laws and put them into affect , Democrats fought the Lynching Laws , Democrats Fought against the Civil Rights acts of 1957 and 1964 , Democrats Fought Desegregation and Today’s Democrats are STILL Fighting Desegregation by Fighting School Choice …. it is the Democrats that are the racists ….Today’s “Progressive” Democrats are actually REGRESSIVE….
TAKE A WELL EARNED BREAK AFTER THAT GREAT ORATION ON WHO THE REAL RACISTS ARE !! THANK YOU SIR
NYT story says it all. They can’t quote anything Tucker said. Poled AMERICAN Mexicans must be racist as well for not wanting opened borders.
The NY Times is a disease.
If you accept the premise, that telling America the truth is racist….then they’re right.
If you don’t believe the NYT you ain’t black
If Tucker is a racist, joe is the greatest President ever.
Carlson should sue the NYT for defamation.
Dems playbook; when all debate fails, call them racists.
