Tucker Tackles 'Extremism'

Liberal media hate President Donald Trump so much that they’re resorting to “extremism” and abandoning all journalistic ethics, honesty, and integrity, Fox News host Tucker Carlson declared Monday.

Journalists have adopted an End-Justifies-The-Means attitude in their zeal to destroy Trump – and believe they can do anything – no matter how dishonest, ruthless or unethical that might be – to take him down:

“Many journalists believe it’s literally impossible to be unfair to Donald Trump or the people who work for him. Extremism in the pursuit of Trump is no vice. That’s the view in newsrooms, and you hear it in conversations all around Washington, a city that voted 91 percent for Hillary Clinton last fall.”

Their contempt for Trump has so blinded them that they’ve sacrificed their credibility, character, and judgment, Carlson said:

“His critic in the media often say that Donald Trump is diminishing the American presidency... But it is also true that in covering Trump the way they have, many journalists and have degraded and humiliated themselves.”

“Media figures, adults, smart people who have been around, have perspective -- or did have perspective. They’ve succumbed to Trump hatred that is so intense, it has destroyed their judgment and in some cases affected their character.”
