It was mighty white of Tucker Carlson to hold the same standards behind and in front of the camera. Those are Fox standards as well, so that just isn’t why Carlson was fired. Nonetheless, Fox is paying the price for his loss. Donald Trump doesn’t like losers, so he’s heading over to CNN for a “town hall”, which is scheduled right in Tuck’s old time slot, in case a few hundred thousand Tucker fans have nothing to do that night. If CNN wants to reduce the harm of giving Trump the microphone it can, but if it’s setting up to be Fox Lite, it won’t. There’s still money to be made off Trump.

That whole thing about law cutting both ways has always annoyed conservatives, chiefly the part about the defendant discovering what the other side has up its sleeve. The Right doesn’t care how much money they need to pour into court manipulation, or who they pour it into, although that is one of the reasons why George Mason University doesn’t call it the David Waldman School of Law.
