American Thinker Reports: Six years ago, a video emerged of Jordan Peterson speaking to Cathy Newman. It’s fascinating. Newman perfectly illustrates the leftist media’s inability to process what conservatives say. What you see is a woman whose brain is no longer her own. She’s a drone, and everything a conservative says goes through the translation filter:

The other day, Tucker Carlson, while speaking in Australia, had the same experience as Jordan Peterson did, although the reporter was much uglier in her approach. The video is almost six minutes long and worth every minute, because The reporter opens by announcing that Tucker’s “replacement theory” claims are premised on keeping nations white, with the implication being that he’s a white supremacist.

Tucker asks the reporter for a citation which, of course, she cannot provide. He politely explains to her that he’s never mentioned race in connection with the replacement argument. Instead, he’s talking about the way that Western governments are replacing all citizens of their home countries, regardless of race, color, creed, etc., with more compliant people from other countries. In that way, our Western governments can avoid the responsibility of actually implementing good policies that keep their existing citizens happy, healthy, and productive.

The reporter, however, denies that Tucker is saying what he’s saying and just keeps coming back to implying that his views are racist, even as she carefully avoids a direct accusation to preserve plausible deniability. Then, having ignored everything that Tucker said and established to her own satisfaction that Tucker is, indeed, a racist sending out dog whistles across America, the reporter blamed Tucker’s speech for the shooting in “Buffalo” New York, which saw “11 Jewish Americans killed.” (The only mass shooting I know of in Buffalo killed ten blacks. The shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh killed 11 Jews.)

With this accusation, Tucker ceases to be polite, exclaiming, “How do they get people this stupid in the media?” I don’t think it’s entirely stupidity, though. While ignorant and not that bright, the reporter shows the feral intelligence of programmatic cult thinking. After all, even stupid people can recognize the truth when it stares them in the face. Cultists can’t.
