I'm reading Sharyl Attkisson's book "Smear," and this campaign against Carlson is exactly the sort of thing she talks about. Hannity is not exaggerating when he says that leftist activists like Media Matters monitor conservative media personalities 24/7 in the hope of catching them in some gaffe, slur, or personal indiscretion. The intent is explicitly to drive them out of business, to shut them up.

I can't remember his name at the moment, but there's that ex-military guy who used to appear on Fox and defend conservative points of view, who quit, and who has now become one of the most rabid anti-Trumpers of them all. You wonder if the Media Matters folks got something on him, and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Ralph Peters is the guy I’m thinking of; you wonder if the left got something on him that made him flip.
