Election 2024

Go ahead.

 

There's no need to link to it. It might just attract the crazies.

 

I've never forgiven Glenn Beck for 2016, or Mark Levin for his frequent joining in on attacks against Trump while acting as a Sunshine Trumper in between, and I'm undecided about Tucker Carlson. I've rarely listened to Glenn Beck since he decided that Hillary Clinton would be his second choice after Ted Cruz in 2016 (I'm not so much angry with him as that I consider him to be logically irrelevant), and it seemed that Mark Levin was always looking for reasons to attack Trump during his first term. As for Tucker Carlson, it seemed to me that he attacked Trump during the 2020 election because he felt that he needed to ingratiate himself with his Fox employers, and since he got fired anyhow, he's back on board, but I question his genuineness. He didn't go as far to the left as Glenn Beck, but I suspect that his career is his only genuine concern. Since being fired from Fox, he's been doing well with his current audience and saying what they expect him to say. He says it well, so I listen to him sometimes but question his sincerity.

As for Megyn Kelly, she lost her audience after her performance as an attack dog against Trump during a 2016 election debate, where she was worse even than the ABC moderators. Because she lost her audience, although her Fox employers probably encouraged her attacks on Trump, she departed ways with Fox, couldn't find an audience from the leftists on NBC, so - like Tucker - she went out on her own, but as a staunch pro-Trumper, which gained her an audience.

However, unlike Glenn Beck, who has tried to explain his opposition to a Trump presidency in 2016 several times, and Mark Levin and Tucker Carlson, who, to my understanding, never even addressed it, Megyn Kelly does a pretty good job explaining her change in thinking. I'm inclined to accept it, although it doesn't say a lot for her political acuity.
