Opinion | Hungary punked Tucker Carlson

Nothing animates Carlson fairly like censorship. It is a man who can’t open his mouth with out complaining that somebody’s making an attempt to close it. On Thursday night time’s present, he went after YouTube’s chief government for plans to “censor any details about covid that she doesn’t like”; on Tuesday, in an episode of “The 5,” he blasted Simon & Schuster for turning into one of many “main forces of censorship within the nation, killing books as a result of the Democratic Social gathering doesn’t just like the e book” — a riff that echoes the introduction to a just-released compilation of Carlson journal items titled “The Long Slide”; on Aug. 3, he interviewed an Australian information host over YouTube actions referring to covid protection; on July 30, he slammed Fb’s insurance policies on covid misinformation. And so forth.
