ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I rarely watch TV news. And I didn\u2019t always agree with Tucker Carlson. Sometimes I strongly disagreed \u2013 such as on Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I often did agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he challenged the left AND the GOP establishment every night on Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also challenged the woke leadership at the Pentagon. And for that he should be greatly applauded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlson was never anti-military. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, he was opposed to its current emasculation by Joe Biden and his team. Carlson was also opposed to the divisive, destructive, and subversive neo-Marxist ideology being imposed on our troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the lefty spinmeisters in the media and those same leftist ideologues, partisan hacks, and simply misguided folks at the Department of Defense (DoD) keep trying to paint a different picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico\u2019s Lara Seligman\u00a0tries to paint Carlson<\/a>\u00a0as anti-military by conflating his criticism of the woke brass with the entire armed forces.\u00a0In her piece,\u00a0\u2018Good riddance\u2019: Pentagon officials cheer Tucker Carlson\u2019s ouster<\/a>, she writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

From maternity flight suits to diversity policies to Ukraine aid, the military was a favorite punching bag for Tucker Carlson. Now that he\u2019s off the air, some Pentagon officials are quietly cheering his departure.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Her flawed journalism is also obvious as she mostly quotes a couple of unnamed (likely Biden Pentagon appointee) sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per her two \u201cDoD officials\u201d: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,\u201d said one senior DoD official, who like others interviewed for this story was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive topic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood riddance,\u201d said a second DoD official.
<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Seligman goes on to quote these unnamed sources, writing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Carlson \u201cmade a mockery\u201d of the free press and \u201crepeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy DoD as an institution,\u201d said the first senior DoD official.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What nonsense. The leftist ideologies in charge are the ones destroying DoD, not a cable TV talk show host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, she voids most of her own reporting when she admits that most of the American military agreed with Carlson, and it\u2019s the Pentagon leadership that is grossly out of touch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Carlson\u2019s criticism of Biden-era personnel policies appealed to many of the rank-and-file, which has a large bloc of conservative members. But at the upper levels of the Defense Department, news of Carlson\u2019s firing from Fox News on Monday was met with delight and outright glee in some corners.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Then there is the un-self-aware liberal executive editor of Defense\u00a0One, Kevin Baron, who never served in the military, who\u00a0absurdly claimed<\/a>\u00a0\u201cTucker Carlson Helped Turn Americans Against the Military.\u201dHe writes: \u201cFor all the ways Tucker Carlson left his mark on U.S. politics, few are as startling as helping to turn right-wingers against the troops they once revered.\u201dHe also ignorantly called the notoriously independent Carlson a \u201cpartisan firebrand\u201d when he criticized GOP establishment politicians almost as much as the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I can tell Baron that, as one of those ‘right wingers’ who still reveres the troops – and was once one of them \u2013 he is a lefty ideologue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sadly, Baron doesn\u2019t realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That makes him a biased, partisan journalist who tries to appear not to be.

Every point he makes is suffused with his anti-Trump rancor and lefty disdain. And many of his arguments are unsupportable, false, or make the opposite case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baron writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Right-wing scholars and <\/em>editorial boards<\/a><\/em> interpreted the data to say that Biden\u2019s \u201cwoke\u201d policies were to blame, noting that half of respondents said it was a contributing factor. But that ignores the partisan cross-section: 68% of Trump voters were more upset about wokeness, while just 44% of Biden voters were. That\u2019s the Carlson effect.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Well, that gives a cable TV talk show host with 3 million viewers a lot of sway in a country of 330 million and a dozen liberal media outlets that reach many tens of million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Baron best undermines his own case most when he concludes<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The most recent Reagan Forum poll found that 80% of Biden voters and 83% of Trump voters said they still have either \u201ca great deal\u201d or \u201csome\u201d confidence in the U.S. military. That shows that even his audience knows the difference between the performance art of partisanship and the apolitical service to one\u2019s country. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Mr. Baron, we absolutely understand. Sadly, you clearly don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
