Peter Brimelow \u2013 VDare April 30, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Podcaster Scott Greer\u2019s tweet<\/a> (see featured image above) in response to being quoted in the New York Times<\/em>\u2019 long-awaited hit job(s) on Fox TV host Tucker Carlson, reflects my own reaction: NYT <\/em>hack Nicholas Confessore unthinkingly concedes that the key to Tucker Carlson Tonight<\/em>\u2019s success was its embrace of immigration patriotism (\u201cwhite panic over the country\u2019s changing ethnic composition\u201d in NYT<\/em>-speak).<\/p>\n

In other words, the show has moved into the niche opened by the Regime Media\u2019s systematic suppression of Politically Incorrect facts about immigration<\/a> and anti-white crime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is exactly the niche that VDARE.com in its humble high-concept way has aimed to fill since its launch on Christmas Eve, 1999.<\/p>\n

We are proud that Confessore says Carlson \u201ctakes up story lines otherwise relegated to far-right or nativist websites like Vdare.\u201d Maybe that\u2019s because they\u2019re, you know, NEWS? Maybe Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal<\/em> immigration enthusiast Editor Paul Gigot, responsible for misleading an entire generation of American business leaders<\/a>, will now get the message? (But see: invincible ignorance<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em> articles: How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable<\/em><\/a>; How Tucker Carlson Reshaped Fox News \u2014 and Became Trump\u2019s Heir<\/a>; Inside the Apocalyptic Worldview of \u2018Tucker Carlson Tonight.\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The third item is all-video. A VDARE.com friend who never watches television and was thus exposed to Tucker Carlson for the first time (these people exist!), was so delighted that he wants me to say it would make a perfect Tucker-For-President ad.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, this was not the New York Times<\/em>\u2019 intention. It\u2019s an example of what Steve Sailer<\/a> calls \u201cPoint-n-Sputter\u201d\u2014the American Left aka the Ruling Class \u00a0is now hermetically sealed and is genuinely dumbfounded and appalled by contradictory facts, analyses and reactions.<\/p>\n

I make a cameo appearance in the second of these NYT<\/em> hit jobs because I\u2019ve known Fox owner Rupert Murdoch for more than thirty years. And, the NYT apparently thinks, if Murdoch knew allegedly neo-Nazi me, maybe that means his employee Tucker Carlson can also be smeared a neo-Nazi!!!<\/p>\n

What I actually said in response to Nicholas Confessore\u2019s email query, received just a couple hours before his deadline on a story he was supposedly working on all year, was:<\/p>\n

[Since the New York Times<\/em> has awarded itself a License to Lie, which the courts have not overturned (yet)], you cannot expect any sane person to talk to you.<\/p>\n

I guess the bit in brackets hurt the New York Times<\/em>\u2019 feelings because it was weirdly edited out of the published version.<\/p>\n

On the New York Times<\/em>\u2019 awarding itself a License To Lie, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surprising to me that there are so many minor factual inaccuracies in this massive series. For example:<\/p>\n

Mr. Brimelow sued The Times in 2020 for articles in which either he or VDare was described as white nationalist; a judge dismissed the case later that year.<\/p>\n

But in fact the issue was not whether I was a \u201cwhite nationalist\u201d\u2014but whether I was an \u201copen\u201d white nationalist, and the New York Times<\/em> conceded its culpability by stealth-editing out the word \u201copen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trial court judge also conceded<\/a> that this point was actionable, but wrongly claimed that the stealth edit repaired the damage.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the New York Times<\/em> also says \u201ca separate lawsuit brought by VDare is still pending.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is news to me (but watch this space).<\/p>\n

Similarly, the New York Times<\/em> also says that, following doxing, Scott Greer \u201ccut ties\u201d with the Daily Caller<\/em>. But my understanding is that he was (disgracefully) fired.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if my appearance in this hit piece counts as 15 seconds, or even 1.5 seconds, of fame. But, anyway, I am honored to be associated, however speciously, with Tucker Carlson, who has emerged as the leading patriot journalist of his generation.<\/p>\n
