They aren't.. which is the point of what he is saying. He was a statesman in the eyes of some people and a terrorist in the eyes of others so how will you remember him? Are you one of the people who thinks he's a statesman or are you one of the people who thinks he's a terrorist? (In reality it's all in how you view the person. He can be/likely is both).

Deplorable Citizen what did he sell out on exactly, I fail to understand. What principles or opinions did he abandon?

A lucrative contract on FOX News. Ha. Ha. Ha. See, that's exactly the problem. I will pull a hitch here and draw a religious analogy: If it was real - even if I would be offered to go to heaven, I wouldn't do it, because I see what kind of people, as said by their own people, interpretations and their book, go to that place. Not for any eternity I would go shake hands with any of those people or spend time with them, or their god. Never. It's a principle, which people like you don't seem to see. And that is why humanity is in it's momentarily failed state.

Ihsahn Åkerfeldt What principals did he ever have to begin with, is the better question.

I can't stand this generation. Why are y'all such haters. Tucker just had the highest rated cable news show in history for a quarter (2020 Q2). Hitchens is one of my favorites, i own multiples of his books, but hell Tucker is great too. Y'all gotta stop being such predictable haters and up your intellectual game a little bit, you're really disappointing me.

I don’t understand all of the hate directed towards Tucker and the stupid attacks on him. I’ve been a fan of his for 20 years. Tucker is very intelligent and knowledgeable, and an excellent writer. Christopher Hitchens thought so, and he should know. Tucker is also a very independent thinker and I really admire him for that.

If you cant see how Murdoch media empire has made some heavy lifting for fascism and the destructive polarisation of Western culture/politics, then you're really not ready or capable of participating in the discussion for future generations. You're stuck in the past vying for coceitful and affluent fops like Tucker (who even in a mail revealed he's full of shit and just peddling bullshit for Murdoch against his own will) when you should really question yourself how it is that you seem so fond of someone who is simply reading manuscripts tailored attract most eyeballs for ad revenue.

Tucker is pretty civil in this interview. Why the hate?

Tucker loves Hitchens as long as he doesn't bash Christianity or Conservative hypocrisy.

I’m actually shocked that this interview happened. Hitch would literally be a media janitor if he was alive today and clean up and disinfect the nonsense coming from the Carlson types

I can't believe I just witnessed Carlson shitmouth have a reasonable conversation with the late great Hitchens. Can't help but think that Hitch would have loathed what would become of Tucket tho
