A Few More SOTFPWTWGB Thoughts ...that is, sitting-on-the-front-porch-watching-the-world-go-by thoughts, on the Tucker Carlson deplatforming, the Matt Walsh "phone hack" (including some discussion of DeSantis v. Trump for 2024), and the indefensible-- indeed, barbaric-- "treatment" of Gender Confusion Disorder by "affirmations". RUPERT MURDOCH'S ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS TUCKER CARLSON-- especially at this juncture-- is a serious assault on the teetering remnants of American political integrity. It is my heart-felt hope that Carlson-- the most important and virtuously-effective thinker, speaker and curator in mainstream American media today-- very quickly finds a way to re-platform himself. It is also my hope that Fox News (and Murdoch's other ventures) suffer prolonged profound losses as a result of Murdoch's obnoxious move, in order to deter similar bad behavior by other actors. I never watched anything on Fox News ever until in late 2020 I stumbled across an excerpt of a Carlson episode (probably one forwarded around by someone in the CtC community). I checked out the full episode and from that day forward watched every Carlson show, along with an occasional sampling of some other Fox content. But I'm done with that channel entirely now, and I hope you take the same position. Unlike the many occasions in which the expression is misapplied, Carlson actually speaks truth to power and loudly reports the Emperor's nakedness. That Fox News wanted to excise that virtue from its offerings taints all that remain with the mark of presstitution, and I haven't got time for any such crap.
