John,

Tucker Carlson just did something even some conservatives called dangerous.

He handed his massive platform to Nick Fuentes—a white nationalist who has praised Adolf Hitler, denied the Holocaust, and called women and immigrants “inferior.”

For nearly two hours in an interview that’s already been viewed almost 20 million times on X, Carlson nodded along as Fuentes:

• blamed “organized Jewry” for America’s problems,
• said women are “subordinate to men”—prompting Carlson to laugh and reply, “I’m a little sexist myself,”
• defended authoritarians like Putin, and
• claimed “white Americans are being replaced.”

At one point, Carlson told him, “It’s not crazy to notice patterns.”

That single exchange—and the millions of views that followed—shows how the normalization of far-right hate works in real time.

Before we unpack how this happened—and why it matters for our democracy—we need your help. If you understand the importance of fighting right-wing hate and misinformation online, please chip in whatever you can to Courier Newsroom today.

Carlson didn’t have to endorse every word Fuentes said. By treating him like any other guest instead of a hateful extremist, he made bigotry sound like just another opinion.

And because the algorithms on platforms like X, YouTube, and TikTok reward outrage, anger, and engagement, clips from that conversation were instantly pushed to millions of new viewers.

That’s the point.

MAGA media isn’t just a collection of personalities—it’s an ecosystem engineered to spread hate.

Outrage drives clicks. Clicks drive profits. Profits fuel the next wave of extremism.

 Hate is laundered through “debate,” social media amplifies it, and legacy outlets downplay it as mere “controversy.”

The result? What was once fringe becomes familiar. Fuentes hasn’t changed—hosts like Carlson have primed their audiences to accept his worldview.

This is why Courier exists.

While MAGA media floods feeds with hate, Courier is in those same spaces—
 ✅ calling out the damage the far right is doing to our country,
 ✅ countering disinformation before it spreads, and
 ✅ reaching millions every day with news that defends democracy, values, and truth.

We’re fighting back—but we can’t match the reach of the MAGA media machine without your support.

If you believe hate shouldn’t go unchallenged—and that truth deserves the same reach as Tucker Carlson’s propaganda—please chip in $25 today to help Courier expose the far right and build a media network strong enough to fight back.

Because if we don’t show up in the spaces where MAGA lies thrive, they’ll keep expanding the definition of what’s “normal”—until our country is unrecognizable and our democracy irrecoverable.

Let’s make sure the truth breaks through.

In solidarity,
The Courier Team
