Mr. Anonymous gets people fired often. Below is a Hodgepodge of excerpts from one single article about the Firing of Tucker Carlson. If you are glad he was fired, try your best to not concentrate on your gladness. This Blog Posting asks you to think about the fairness of taking such dramatic and life changing actions against anyone without identifying who the accuser is.

Are you still glad he was fired? I’m still going to ask you to think about the fairness of destroying any person’s livelihood based on Hearsay, Rumor, Half Truths or Even Outright Lies.
Think of it this way...How
would you feel if the job lost was your job?

I’m now going to do one of my 3 Bullet Point Examples. What if Dudley Do-Right lost his job because...
Ø 
Complete lies about Dudley were left on the
computer of Dudley’s boss by an identified someone who had an unbridled hatred
of Canadian Cartoon Mounties who ride their horse while sitting backwards?
Ø
Lies made up by a computer because someone
told their laptop, “Make up believable lies about Dudley Do-Right.

Deep Throat, late at night in that dark garage,
handed the final damning goods on Richard Nixon to those 2 Washington Post
Reporters. It was 10 years later the 2 Washington Post Reporters found out that
Deep Throat was a terrible speller and he had misspelled “Richard Nixon” as
“Dudley Do-Right”.

This is the last excerpt. I held it to last because it is Special. It was one of many transgressions of Mr. Carlson listed. I can’t figure out why this accusation is listed anywhere in any list other than a list of Silly Things That Happened in Washington, D.C.:
“Mr. Carlson also
lamented changes made by candy giant Mars Inc. to different M&M mascots,
including the decision to switch the green M&M’s footwear from boots to
sneakers.”
That does it! How could he? Tucker Carlson had to be stopped!
Fella Final Thought: Do we spend too much time discussing accusations and too little time discussing whether or not the accusations are true?
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: The sixth amendment, as part of the
Bill of Rights, guarantees certain rights in all criminal prosecutions. One of
the enumerated rights in the 6th Amendment is
the right to be confronted with the witnesses against the accused. This right
is known as the Confrontation Clause. The confrontation clause guarantees
criminal defendants the opportunity to face the prosecution's witnesses in the
case against them and dispute the witnesses' testimony. This guarantee applies
to both statements made in court and statements made outside of court that are
offered as evidence during trial.
