Time Magazine writer, Charlotte Alter, writes a piece on Tucker Carlson becoming America's most powerful conservative. She coins the phrase Tuckerism as she accuses Carlson of sanitizing and legitimizing right-wing conspiratorial thinking. NPR then writes an article titled "Outrage As A Business Model: How Ben Shapiro Is Using Facebook To Build An Empire" where they accuse Shapiro of pushing misinformation. The Apes give their thoughts on what this sudden fascination of both these men by these publications mean.
