inspiring paranoia?

* wow - tucker carlson actually interviewed scott ritter. who'd have thought we'd see ritter in the american media! it seems that the egadmin are sufficiently nervous by ritter's latest article claiming that we are already at war with iran that they had to start disparaging him.
tuckers show is apparently called Free Talk (according to the backdrop) - i hope the irony is intended.

carlson complained to ritter that in the article, ritter didnt even mention why we might be scared of iran - apparently a major sin of omission.

its fun to watch the text on the screen during the apparently live interview. for example, we get some text at the bottom asking "imminent iranian threat?" followed by "inspiring paranoia?" (before carlson mentioned the paranoia.)

carlson then tells ritter that he's hurting america, and how dare he fan the flames by publishing an article at aljazeera - surely it'd be more patriotic to publish the piece in the nyt...

(fwiw: tucker is a disgrace)
video here . go watch.
