The impugning of Bubba Wallace’s character came to mainstream cable news Wednesday night.
As Wallace spent the day defending himself for something the FBI and U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama said he had nothing to do with, Fox News host Tucker Carlson shamelessly and inaccurately went after Wallace.
The attack was, sadly, predictable. Carlson — who lawyers at Fox News have argued hosts a show that’s “hyperbolic opinion commentary” and not actual news in a slander lawsuit against him — saw advertisers leave his show (again) in June after disparaging comments about Black Lives Matter.
