This is an interesting take on Tucker Carlson:

"I used to think it was great when I'd see Tucker Carlson covering an inconvenient narrative like the chemical weapons false flag in Syria or whatever. I'd say "Ah good, it's getting mainstream coverage!" But over the years I've seen Carlson's "coverage" do far more harm than good.

Now good faith critics of empire get associated with Carlson and his right wing ideology whenever they talk about unauthorized narratives. Even very left wing empire critics like me get called right wing for criticizing US proxy warfare in Ukraine, just because Carlson does.

And this is possible because only the farthest fringes of the left ever talk about unauthorized narratives. No left-leaning media outlets close to the mainstream ever provide meaningful coverage to transgressive stories, so it makes it possible to spin them as right wing issues. So I'm not actually even blaming Carlson for this. Even if there wasn't a mountain of evidence that he's a US intelligence lackey (and there is), it'd still be primarily the fault of the left (and what passes for the "left" in the US) for leaving a right wing pundit to cover this stuff." ~ Caitlin Johnstone
