Look at it this way. News is what a chap who doesn't care much about anything wants to read. And it's only news until he's read it. After that it's dead...
But you do think it's a good way of training oneself - inventing imaginary news?
"None better," said William.

'Do you really think you can get some news.'
'Why, yes, of course."
"You see it's rather depressing sometimes, day after day and none of one's stories getting printed. I'd like to be a foreign correspondent like you. I say, would you think it awful cheek if I showed you some of the stuff I write? In my spare time, I do it. I imagine some big piece of news and then I see how I should handle it...Shall I show it to you?'

Is Abby Grossberg: Tucker Carlson’s “Mordecai”?
Tucker Carlson has long trafficked in dog whistles and culture war grievances—but his rage toward Abby Grossberg, a Jewish former Fox producer who challenged him legally, seems to cut deeper. In classic authoritarian fashion, when confronted by a credible critic, Carlson didn't just fight back—he allegedly let that grudge fester into something uglier...

A Brief History of Tucker Carlson – From Conservative Star to Qatar’s Mouthpiece
Following the passing of conservative legend Rush Limbaugh and the fall of Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson emerged as a leading voice on the American right. His popularity soared during the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to his anti-establishment rhetoric and combative style. For a time, he filled a vacuum in conservative media, channeling public frustration into high ratings for Fox News.
However, Carlson’s trajectory shifted in 2023 when he was abruptly ousted from Fox News. The dismissal followed a series of controversies—including a high-profile lawsuit by a former producer who accused him of fostering a toxic, discriminatory workplace, as well as Carlson’s growing discomfort within the network after the Dominion Voting Systems settlement. Some insiders speculated that Fox saw him as a liability rather than an asset.
Post-Fox, Carlson began a sharp and concerning pivot. In February 2024—and again in December—he appeared in Moscow, broadcasting from within Putin’s Russia and conducting a softball interview with the dictator himself. His trip was lauded by the Kremlin while seeing him as a useful idiot and widely criticized in the U.S. as a propaganda gift to an authoritarian regime. Ironically, , Carlson increasingly adopted the rhetoric of isolationist, so-called “America First” nationalism—rhetoric weaponized against U.S. allies like Israel.
His descent didn’t stop there. In September 2024, Carlson platformed fringe revisionist voices like Darryl Cooper, known for dangerously apologetic views on Nazi Germany and distorted takes on World War II history. But worse was to come.
By 2025, Carlson appeared fully embraced by the Arab-Islamist propaganda machine, especially Qatar—known for its double-dealing, Western-facing PR and behind-the-scenes funding of terror-affiliated networks. He gave an uncritical platform to Munther Isaac, a known Palestinian Christian figure with a history of incendiary anti-Israel fabrications and theological propaganda. Carlson then elevated Qatar’s duplicitous leadership—accused of bribing Western influencers and exploiting media for political gain—clearly aiming to build a following in the Middle East.
In June 2025, Carlson went a step further, echoing the talking points of Iran’s genocidal Islamic regime, raising alarm across the political spectrum. Dubbed mockingly “QATARlson,” even former allies began distancing themselves. Donald Trump reportedly referred to him as “Kooky Tucker,” and major Republican figures followed suit.
Then, in a widely criticized move in August, Carlson gave a platform to a nun long tied to anti-Israel activism—George Stephanopoulos' sister—who notoriously defended Yasser Arafat’s use of churches as human shields during the 2002 Ramallah siege. Her latest appearances downplayed Hamas’ October 7 atrocities, framing them in apologetic terms, and Carlson offered no pushback.
In a few short years, Tucker Carlson has gone from mainstream conservative commentator to a willing tool of regimes and ideologies hostile to the West—and especially to Israel. His brand may still attract headlines, but his credibility has eroded among those who once saw him as a voice of reason and resistance.
