Excerpt:
While the left is busy hating on Tucker Carlson, and not without reason, it is missing the bigger picture. Carlson was a genuine aberration in US corporate media. Which is why he is gone - sacked by media 'titan' Rupert Murdoch. Yes, over the years Carlson played on white fears, placing him firmly on the right. But he also gave over his massive corporate platform at Fox News to some of the most critical and thoughtful independent journalists and pundits around -- from Glenn Greenwald and Aaron Mate to Jimmy Dore. Carlson not only brought them into the living rooms of Main Street, but he undoubtedly helped them grow their audiences and influence.
