Basically shutting down Tucker Carlson and speaking out against the combativeness of TV news formats.

That goes back to the days of Point/Counterpoint which was a segment on 60 Minutes where William Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander would debate for a couple of minutes. He was a grumpy old conservative like Buckley. Only older.

That was what Saturday Night Live was parodying when Dan Ackroyd said, "Jane, you ignorant slut" to Jane Curtin in a supposed debate.
