I've posted about her before but she is must watch journalism in my mind. Carlson tried to go after her before and lost. So she is showing old clips of him warning about the virus in March, contrasting that with his recent statements telling Faux viewers they are all going to die anyway so don't worry about it. Also Ghouliani and a Pence aide are getting the Keilar treatment, which is using facts and liars' own words, narrating in measured tones, to shine a light on the truth. Journalism as it should be done.

(23,461 posts)of these kinds of people, don't we? Thank god someone has the guts to come right out and attack the Carlsons of the world. Morons intent really not on news, but national enquirer nonsense that they come up w/ on their own, in short, making up fake news to spring on people, total BS as usual. That's why I never watch scumbags like carlson, etc. Thanks for the heads up on Ms. Keilar, I will keep an eye on her, she deserves it!

(7,879 posts)She has won numerous journalism awards. I think her best work is right now as an anchor during this time. It's not just her focu but how she does it; as I wrote, her professionalism is always there, whether she is talking to people who have lost loved ones and are emotional, or about assholes who have no emotion regarding others.

(14,565 posts)He had a prominent graphic in the background saying, "Deadly Virus"
Everything he said emphasized how serious coronavirus was. He also seemed to think severity would be denied by Democrats. I don't know how he got that but he was using the familiar mocking style, saying denial could be done for political purposes.
Fast forward to a recent clip, with Carlson saying median death age for coronavirus is 78, and life expectancy is also 78, so you were going to die anyway...what difference does it make how it happened?
That's only a slightly exaggerated version of what he said.
Brianna was fantastic today, as always. I mentioned this segment in another thread a half hour ago. I'm sure the isolated clip will be available soon and receive lots of attention

(14,565 posts)But we need someone like this in prominent media. My frustration with Rachel Maddow is always that it's not the correct style to persuade Americans, as opposed to speaking to the already persuaded. Brianna is markedly more effective in that regard. She should be prime time.

(14,565 posts)Atop the link. The Tucker Carlson disemboweling begins at about 4:20, but the entire segment is superb
