An attempted assassination charge outside the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner triggered urgent security questions, but the political aftershocks spread far wider, exposing how conspiracy culture, rising extremism, and collapsing trust are reshaping responses to violence in America.

These vehement defenses of the most influential media purveyor of the racist “replacement” theory are destructive efforts to launder hate by a once-admirable journalist.

Why has the American far right adopted an anti-American conspiracy theory as its rallying cry?

From the Great Replacement theory to anti-mask and anti-vaccination propaganda, the far right is finding niches that allow them to draw ever larger numbers of people to their reactionary, anti-science views.

Carlson’s moonlighting as an extremist at The Daily Caller is heavily bankrolled by – you guessed it – the Koch brothers.

Activists from Lady Parts Justice and Code Pink joined Media Matters in confronting the stream of hate that seems to be only escalating from President Trump's favorite news network.

During interviews on Bubba The Love Sponge, Carlson said he "love[s]" the idea of young girls sexually experimenting, used sexist terms to refer to a number of women, and defended statutory rape.

There is, indeed, a “poverty of spirit” at work here.
