Tucker Embraces White Supremacist, MSNBC Hosts Rip Comcast, and Mamdani’s Media Strategy
On this week’s Power Lines Podcast:
Tucker Carlson has suddenly ended his feud and embraced Holocaust-denying white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Why is he leaning further into extremist voices?
Oliver and Jon break down the fallout from Comcast helping to fund the White House ballroom — and what that says about media power and influence.
Plus: what the Paramount layoffs reveal about Ellison’s plans for news personalities, CNN head Mark Thompson dodging Bari Weiss questions, Zohran winning over Andrew Schulz, and Elon Musk’s “Grokipedia” — a fact-twisting clone of Wikipedia built in bad faith and fueled by an alternate reality.
Have a Happy Halloween! We’ll see you next week.
