Yes, God…please give us an outlet more rightwing than Fox. We really need that.

ā€œFox has a monopoly, and there’s a huge opening for a competitor to Fox on the right that’s righter than Fox. Because Fox does wuss out on a bunch of issues — immigration is the most obvious one,ā€ Kaus said.

And here I thought the natural competition for Fox was a conservative channel dedicated to telling the truth instead of spinning tall tales that only lazy-thinking people will think are true.

Um, please, stop with the contrarian nonsense. Fox ā€œwussesā€ out on a lot of things? You think there’s a place for something even more insane than Fox? And it would be ā€œjournalismā€?

Go back to Slate, dude.

Kaus is just pissed that Tucker slapped his ass… and now he’s crying like a spoiled 3 year old.

The extremely unhealthy-looking man’s point applies to all TV ā€˜news’.

I always wonder how much of his schtick is con and how much is self-delusion. Either way, playing morals czar at a circle jerk is a dog that won’t hunt.

If you are ever confused as to what a poser or phony intellectual is…give Kaus a look…you’ll be clear on all of it. He’s an insufferable pretender and mouth organ.

You can’t both want to work at Pravda, and criticize Pravda at the same time comrade.

I salute you, sir!

Of course there’s only one official PR organization for the republican party. Why would you think it would be otherwise? Idiot…

You are too kind, sir. All credit is due to the inspiring Mickey Kaus.

Carlson allegedly said, ā€œWe can’t trash Fox on the site. I work there,ā€ according to Kaus.

Good to know your previous level of integrity is still intact, Tucker, baby. Needle’s still at zero.

Mickey Kaus is a big phony. He made his name as a pundit playing the role of a ā€œliberalā€ commentator who strangely always seemed to be opposed to the things that real liberals cared about. Since he ended up in the dregs of conservative media at the Daily Caller – a position he richly deserves – he may at least have finally attained some level of honesty as the wingnut hack that he’s always been. And keep in mind, he’s criticizing Fox News and the Daily Caller not for being dishonest per se, but for not being committed enough to extremist right-wing rhetoric. What an asshole. I hope his career sinks even lower. What’s next: Breitbart?

O’Reilly’s viewers average about 72 years old. The huge opening to the right of Fox is a grave.
