This is the interview making the rounds on the Internet today. Buzzfeed/NYT propagandist Ben Smith interviewed Tucker Carlson earlier today, with a smirking, pained, “deebly goncerned” look on his face.
For whatever reason, Ben Smith has disabled embedding of the YouTube video, so you’ll have to click here to watch. The link is timestamped at about 1:26:00.
Nanny Doodles was not happy about the interview.
We’re 8 minutes into @semaforben’s interview with Tucker Carlson and Carlson is steamrolling Ben.
It’s painful to watch. @semaforben is utterly unprepared. pic.twitter.com/Rdg8oU3s1f

Lol.
Uhh the interview just ended and Tucker psychotically laughed and said “That was fun!” Oh my god.

Indeed.
Ben Smith was roundly roasted on Twitter.
Very genuinely thought Ben Smith was smarter than every word he utters in this DISASTROUS and disgusting race-baiting and incompetent interview demonstrates. And I’m not a great interviewer myself but yowza is this embarrassing. https://t.co/D2J29HT8OT

This was a big LOL.
Tucker to Ben Smith:
"I enjoy my job. It's a blessing to say what you really think. Only women can get pregnant. I dare you to say that. Can you say that? Oh, you can't say that. I can!" pic.twitter.com/MVamvrCshm

This type of leftist-style interview is worthy of only contempt.
Ignoring everything Tucker says during the Ben Smith interview, it's absolutely wild Ben straight up asks Tucker to prove he's not a racist.
This is the starting point for dems/leftists/media: you're racist no matter what – especially if you don't subscribe to their worldview.

The crazed, lunatic leftists were not happy with Ben Smith either, because, in their mind, he “platformed” a “Nazi.”
This interview is one of the most pathetic displays of feckless pseudo-journalism I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying a lot.
Ben Smith should feel embarrassed and humiliated. But he probably doesn’t. https://t.co/u08iAoZV0j

This is a good summary of what happened.

Earlier in the event, Buzzfeed Ben Smith interviewed Taylor Lorenz, who wore a Covid face mask so intense it looked like it was sucking the soul out of her body. Click here for the timestamped link.
Sadly enough, this was the big rollout for Ben Smith’s startup news platform, “Semafor.”
The news start-up Semafor has raised $25 million from wealthy individuals, with a goal of cultivating direct relationships between its journalists and its audience.
…
News articles will be broken into sections distinguishing facts from opinion. Reporters’ bylines will be as prominent as headlines. And journalists will be permitted to offer their analysis on social media.
Justin Smith and Ben Smith surprised the media world early this year when they said they were leaving prominent jobs at Bloomberg Media and The New York Times to start a global news organization, Semafor. They said it would tackle the lack of trust in media and compete for English-language readers against outlets like CNN, The Times and The Washington Post.
The coverage is set to start this fall, they said in a recent interview, with a staff of about 30 journalists based in London, New York and Washington, D.C., and another international location, either in Africa or the Middle East. The operations will initially be supported by around $25 million from investors, with early revenue coming from advertising and live events. They plan to eventually charge for subscriptions. They hired Rachel Oppenheim, an advertising executive at The Times, to be the company’s chief revenue officer.
Uh, yeah. Good luck with that, Ben.
