Episode #98: Tucker Carlson and the Death of Cable News
In this solo episode, Eric gives his take on Larry Elder's decision to enter the 2024 presidential race, as well as why he thinks conventional political "scandals" simply don't matter anymore. For the main topic, he talks about Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News, and how his show's transition to a Twitter exclusive could very well mark the symbolic death of traditional cable TV news.
