      I wonder if @mattyglesias st al think it would be wrong to try to get advertisers to boycott @TuckerCarlson?https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1280660217068425217 …

      Jeff Hauser added,

      Oliver DarcyVerified account @oliverdarcy
      Fox's @TuckerCarlson is attacking @SenDuckworth again tonight. He says Duckworth — who received the Purple Heart after losing both her legs in the Iraq War — despises the country. In the segment, Carlson called Duckworth a "moron," "coward," "callous hack" and "fraud."

      Isn't there an ongoing boycott of Carlson organized by liberal groups?

      Yeah, and shouldn't all the signatories be against it?

      I can't speak for everyone but I don't see anything in letter that rules out boycotts of hate mongers like Carlson.

          Not sure about what the letter says about this (it dodges much hard conceptual work), but Jeff is right that this smacks of the sort of subtle intellectual chilling that this new vigilance is supposed to be on guard against. But either way, a good question for the signatories.

          James Bennet is to Tom Cotton as Fox News is to Tucker Carlson. I think all 4 people/institutions can be boycotted. And boycotts can lead to firing.

          What about hate mongers like JK Rowling?

          ruling out boycotts (and other forms of audience pressure) is literally the only purpose of the letter
