Turns out that suggesting women shouldn’t be allowed to vote if they’re motivated by feminism, and that they have “real things to do” instead of politics isn’t so good for a guy’s career: As Zach Roth writes at the New York Observer, MSNBC Senior V.P. Phil Griffin told NPR last week that Tucker Carlson was less part of the MSNBC “brand” than Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. The New York Times reported earlier this month that Carlson’s 6 p.m. show, the only explicitly conservative offering in the network’s evening line-up, is at serious risk of being canceled.
