CJR: “The Mystery of Tucker Carlson”
8th September 2018
Steve Sailer fisks some poor chick at the Columbia Journalism Review, just to keep his hand in.
Tucker Carlson is handsome, affluent, smart, and funny. He’s a winner.
Poor Ms. Lenz is broke, divorcing her husband for being a Republican (she says), not as sharp, and humorless. She’s kind of a loser.
Much of Social Justice Jihadism is the losers’ hope that if only they could get their personal loserness Socially Constructed as winnerness, they’d be happy winners. That’s what they are taught in college, so why shouldn’t they believe it? It helps them get out of bed in the morning. The first step toward our new, improved culture Socially Constructing themselves into winners is of course to shut up anybody who points out that’s not really how the world works.
One would think that a ‘journalism review’ affiliated with a prestigious Ivy League university could be counted on as an exemplar of good journalism by good journalists. As the piece Steve dissects proves, yet another supposed reputable institution has let us down.
