I tend to discount anything on Tucker Carlson's show. Like most late-night pundit hosted shows (including ones on MSNBC), they are essentially outrage-manufacturing factories that are there to make money off of people who want to feel aggrieved at anything and everything. I think you'll find Fox's news reporters, when speaking with people in the studio, do the same thing that Carlson is accusing Acosta of. But Carlson can't use those examples because it doesn't fit into his narrative, nor is it going to be receptive to his audience.
I don't think anyone, by the way, listened to Jim Acosta's statement that Trump set some type of "world record" and actually believed, literally, that Trump set a world record.
Note, by the way, that I responded directly to your statement regarding Jim Acosta, whereas you deflected from my comment on news reports of Jussie Smollett. Whataboutism at its finest.
