Congrats Tucker Carlson...
...you seem to have won a debate on your show with a guy who is in favor of human exinction. Good job, we can all rest easy tonight.
I like Tucker Carlson, but I just can't stand his new show on MSNBC because, like some other commentator shows of this kind, he invites guests who have radical opinions and then debates them. The goal of the show is not to have a good discussion though, it is for the host of the show to win. You will never hear someone say "Hmmm, well, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that before." No, the show is based on a contention between guest and host.
I think the only people who can stand to watch these shows for longer than 20 seconds are people who are probably cheering, "Yes, he defeated guest #2 tonight!" Our democracy is safe for another night.
