With the greatest respect David, as somebody who very much enjoys the majority of what you put out, I think you're stepping a little too far towards the point of "taking contrarian positions for the sake of generating buzz", and I think that's a peril to the future of the show. I understand that what you're putting forward is a subtle argument about how, pragmatically, his apologising would be inconsistent with his business model, and on a selfish basis apologising cannot possibly help him with his audience. But I think maybe that misses the larger point: sometimes in life, morals should come before pragmatism. If we're prepared to sacrifice our decency or even our humanity in order to achieve a goal, is it any longer praiseworthy when we accomplish it? Tucker should apologise not because it's convenient *but because it's the right thing to do*.
Again, love the show most days, have the greatest respect for your analysis of American politics, but as I'm sure you'll be proud to know, we (the audience) are supporters, not cultists, and we will take to disagreeing with you on cases like this.
