"I have 2 rules. One is you can�t criticize the families of the people who work here, and the other is you can't go after Fox."

Says Tucker Carlson about the (bad) news he owns, The Daily Caller.

The reason for the second rule, Carlson said, is... simply because he works there...

"That�s a conflicted situation, but I don�t know what to do about it... There is a conflict and I�m totally up front about it, I don�t lie at all, and you don�t criticize your employer, and that�s kind of 101."

He doesn't know what to do about it, but I do. I don't read The Daily Caller. Why would you?

"I wrote a piece attacking Fox for not being the opposition on immigration and amnesty � for filling up the airwaves with reports on ISIS and terrorism..."

"... and not fulfilling their responsibility of being the opposition on amnesty and immigration. I posted it at 6:30 in the morning. When I got up, Tucker had taken it down. He said, 'We can't trash Fox on the site. I work there.'... He said it was a rule, and he wouldn't be able to change that rule. So I told him I quit... I just don't see how you can put out a publication with that kind of giant no-go area. It's not like we're owned by Joe's Muffler Shop, so we just can't write about Joe's Muffler shop. t's a larger problem on the right: Everybody is scared of Fox... Fox is their route to a high-profile public image and in some cases stardom. Just to be on a Fox show is a big deal. And I think that's a problem on the right, Fox's monopoly on star-making power."

Said Mickey Kaus. 

The Daily Caller has always been pretty bad. Except for Mickey.
