Beautiful prose, **elucidator**. I think you could easily expand that into a full-length bromance novel, complete with ripped bodice. I see a lot of potential there. Well done! ---

Carlson seems, certainly, nicer. > > Yes, I know that Carlson is a white supremacist who publishes fake news stories. He may be even less ethical than Hannity, and a bigger fraud. But Hannity’s stock in trade is self-righteous meanness, and that’s not a good look. [Did you see and hear about his interview with Dutch historian Rutger Bregman?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nFI2Zb7qE) Carlson thought he had a sympathetic, like-minded subject and did not react well when he discovered his error. Unfortunately for him, Mr. Bregman was recording the interview as well and he posted it before Carlson could get in front of the story. It shows Carlson’s mask dropping and it’s, well, jaw-dropping. ---

Fair enough. I just really loathe Hannity. ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > Both are utterly mercenary unprincipled frauds, cashing in on fascists being so hot right now. I’d say the only difference between them is the target audience, with Carlson being the edgy memelord speaking to 30somethings while Hannity talks to the old women shaking their fists at the clouds. Both warrant a forced march to the guillotine, and both would get a dedicated civil servant punching them in the mouth if it looked like they were about to speak in my government. Vote for me. That’s literally my entire platform, and it’s still better than both US parties. Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your [del]newsletter[/del] political party ---
