VIDEO of the Day: CNN’s Don Lemon Witheringly Skewers Tucker Carlson and Daily Caller Reporter Who Heckled Obama
MUST VIEWING: CNN’s Don Lemon has done what to this former fulltime journalist (me) is the definitive take on the sad – -and hopefully not trend-setting — saga of Neil Monro, The Daily Caller reporter who interrupted President Barack Obama in the middle of an official statement and of his boss Tucker Carlson, a one-time but no longer serious and respected up and coming conservative pundit who clearly is not only enabling Munro but cheering him on (and even suggesting he deserves a raise).
Lemon gets across the difference between truly professional journalists of all political persuasions and Munro and Carlson, who are several categories below them. Bravo, Don Lemon.

Who in the hell is Tucker Carlson?

If that wasn’t a snark, here is a piece that gives you a feel for Carlson’s persona.

He had a show on MSNBC “Crossfire” with Paul Bergala that was canceled. The last time I saw him was speaking at the CPAC conference. I didn’t know about the Daily Caller until this flap. Daily Caller is probably funded by a Koch apparatichik.

“If that wasn’t a snark, here is a piece that gives you a feel for Carlson’s persona.”
Actually it was a little bit of both
This reminded me of the time Jon Stewart took Carlson to task on Crossfire. I had to hit youtube and watch it again.
Has he lost his bowtie yet? Some people can pull it off but on him it’s just a silly affectation. Jon Stewart had fun with that too btw.
