1. Tucker Carlson's self-presentation is of a kind of right-wing FDR. Born to wealth & privilege but radicalized by events and a traitor to his class willing to challenge the status quo. The reality is far different.

What I don't get - as someone who does some writing but isn't a journalist - is what the access really gets the mainstream media folks. Is Tucker giving them scoops on serious news items? Or is "access" a synonym for "chummy inside-baseball stuff"?

Like, I would find myself more sympathetic if he was helping break important news stories - I think journalists can face real dilemmas there. But I can't believe he is.

This illustration really captures his standard expression, which Tucks seems to think conveys astonished intensity, but really just comes across as confused, gormlessness.

Points off for me because of spacing and unnecessary comma.

Even more hilarious that
@ggreenwald, Tucker’s favorite guest, endlessly goes on about how awful everyone in the mainstream media is *except Tucker Carlson*, while Carlson yucks it up and gossips with the same people. They’re all part of the same incestuous, dishonest club.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Do those (access) journalists fear being outed by Tucker? Are they blackmailed by him in a way?
