EXCERPT:
The New York Post did not put Tucker Carlson on the opinion page.
It introduced him, in a news story, as a “nicotine-pouch salesman and onetime conservative pundit.”
That sentence is the story.
Staff writer Ryan King used it while reporting that Carlson had all but endorsed Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and called El-Sayed “obviously right” about 9/11, the New York Post reported.
Carlson’s Friday newsletter said El-Sayed “did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda.” He said the Democrat merely objected to how America answered the attacks.
El-Sayed’s 2021 line was that 9/11 “scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people.” He added that Americans “often fail to center them.”
Republican candidate Mike Rogers called that attitude disqualifying. Carlson called Rogers the problem.
