After reading this article this morning and reading the comments, I decided to find the YouTube vision of the encounter, and the subsequent video of his Canberra media speach.
I felt a sort of supported what he said, even what he said about Julian A I could understand his position even though I dissagreed his views on JA's imprisoment because it was of Julians decisions that was ultimate cause.
The takedown of the journalist was classic of a lefty who was under prepared, using talking points rather than facts.
For those interested here is a link to that Youtube of the full speech Carlson made. That segment is at around the 43 minute mark. He covers a lot more than Julian Assange.
