NYU Journalism Professor says Tucker Carlson "entering on death cult territory"

You've got to have no soul to prey on the elderly and the dumb - core audience of Fox News- like he does.

it's only been 4 months.

I mean the utter lack of shame you have to have to be Tucker Carlson is unprecedented.
