Quote someone when disparaging them, you say? The NYT, in disparaging Carlson, quote him endlessly. Please read and listen to the links before reacting with ignorance. That ignorance is what propagandists like Carlson count on.

I’m delighted to see this lousy investment in a lying autocrat lose value daily. Protect democracy instead.
