Two possibilities... They're either watching to find juicy bits to ridicule or rant about in social media. Or else youth really is becoming "anti-establishment", rather than just the pro-leftism and "Salinger-ism" that was misinterpreted back in the '60s, '70s as a constant disposition of rebellion. (The counterculture of that era then became the new institutional orientation.) Surely it's primarily the former.

Democrats strangely tuning in to Tucker Carlson in large numbers?
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/who-is-the-m...r-carlson/
INTRO: New numbers from Nielsen/MRI Fusion released Tuesday showed a surprising trend among cable news viewers – Democrats are tuning into Fox News in large numbers.
While reading through the monthly breakdown of viewers released by Fox, CNN and MSNBC it’s impossible to ignore the enormous share of total viewers that Fox has. Fox makes up 56% of the total prime time audience in cable news and 55% during the day.
So, while it’s safe to assume that right-leaning Fox is attracting more than just Republicans, the amount of Democrats and Independents tuning in and who they are tuning in to watch is surprising.
According to the party-line data, gathered in the month of October, Tucker Carlson is the number-one watched host among Democrats in the key 25-54 age demographic – across all networks. For that month, Carlson pulled in an average of 101,000 Democrats in the demo. The Rachel Maddow Show and The Five tied for second – each pulling in 88,000 demo viewers that identify as Democrats.
More stunning still is the fact that Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld round out the top five with 81,000 and 73,000 Democrats in the demo, respectively.
In terms of total viewers, Fox has three of the top five shows watched by Democrats, while MSNBC has the other two... (MORE - details)
Whoopi Goldberg discovers Church of Woke readily eats its own
https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertain...291405002/
EXCERPTS: ... Whoopi Goldberg has been temporarily suspended from "The View" after receiving backlash for comments she made about the Holocaust on air.
[...] "If you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it, because the Holocaust isn't about race," Goldberg said Monday. "It's about man's inhumanity to man. That's what it's about."
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, saying, "Well, they considered Jews a different race," in reference to the Nazis. Anna Navarro also pushed back, saying, "But it's about white supremacy."
But Goldberg doubled down.
"But these are two white groups of people," she said. "You're missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. It's a problem. It doesn't matter if you're Black or white, cause Black, white, Jews ... everybody eats each other."
'Maus' sales soar after book is banned by Tennessee school board
As Goldberg continued, transition music began playing over her.
"If you're uncomfortable … if you hear about 'Maus,' should you be worried?" she added. "Should your child say 'Oh, my God, I wonder if that's me?' No, that's not what they're gonna say. They're gonna say, 'I don't want to be like that.' Most kids, they don't want to be cruel."
The comments drew backlash on Twitter, making Goldberg a top trending item on the social media website Monday... (MORE - details)

Inner Cynic: Goldberg strayed from the systemic racism narrative -- anti-racism -- the "racism is the cause of all social ills" narrative -- and got punished for it. She actually said something that is historically the case in the general sense of humans mistreating humans. But you've got to keep it narrowly confined today to what the agenda expects from the speech of its myrmidons -- or else you're committing leftist sin.
