Maverick …

… Tucker Carlson, Class Traitor | Wilfred M. McClay | First Things. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… these no-doubt-formidable analysts are on to something. Tucker Carlson is indeed a figure of real significance in the culture of today’s journalism. But not for the reasons they think. They might get further in their ruminations if they were willing to entertain the thought that it is not Carlson, but their own industry, that has changed almost beyond recognition; and that he is a brave outlier standing against a smug profession that routinely confers plaudits and prizes on itself for demonstrably false reporting and naked political advocacy.

This veteran journalist finds most contemporary journalism and journalists appalling.
