Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s just asking questions about Russia’s latest conspiracy theory — bioweapon labs in Ukraine — that’s found a home in U.S. right-wing circles. But he doesn’t seem to like the answers he’s getting from people who actually know things.
Are those the ones manufacturing the Bill Gates digitile robots?
Patterned on Tucker, but with actual intelligence?
Tucker Carlson, aka Chicken Pol Pot Pie
Hey Fucker, people are asking if you got into Trinity by blowing the university president. Show us your SAT scores to prove you got in legitimately.
“And it’s possible they’re afraid not to do that,” he added. “They know if they stray from the script the White House has written for them, they’ll be denounced from the briefing room as tools of Putin.”
That is all.
Wednesday night and Thursday, Carlson popped off during his show later on Thursday, slamming the “Pentagon talking points you saw reported as fact on television today and last night” and journalists who “didn’t bother to do any reporting whatsoever.”
Um, this sounds like “reporting” to me:
“They got a text from some Biden administration flack and they just read it on the air like it was true,” the Fox News host fumed.
Perhaps the dimwitted Carlson meant “investigating.”
How dare the reporter get information from the Pentagon about military matters? Where did Tucker get his information? The Kremlin. This is just pathetic.
… Carlson popped off during his show…
Doesn’t surprise me.
Did Jeanine Pirro join him?
“Jennifer Griffin is a ‘so-called reporter’…”
Says a so-called human being.
Yep…that’s Tucker. ‘I’m a VICTIM DAMMIT! I was just asking QUESTIONS…free speech! So called reporters!’ He’s a miserable piece of dung. He is a racist, a sexist and an apologist for Putin.
A few minutes later, Carlson ranted again about reporters who “scold anyone for asking legitimate questions” and “attack” them as tools of Russia.
Said the pro-Russian, pathological liar, propaganda spewing, treasonous shit that would (is) burn down our country to see the liberals be hurt in any way.
… trying to keep my display of disgust for this asshole minimal here. I may not have fully succeeded.
Tucker and Ted Cruz et al seem all of a piece to me: performance artists with no shame ignoring the real-world consequences of their bullshit. Their actions almost transcend grift and narcissism, descending into a nihilistic solipsism so entire they can go home to their ‘nice’ bourgeois families, take off their shoes in the recliner, and drink a beer while honestly commenting on what a day at the office they had.
Griffin has emerged as Fox’s top fact-checker on the Ukraine crisis who’s been bluntly refuting her colleagues’ incorrect claims about Russia, notably pushing back against hosts like Steve Doocy and Harris Faulkner on air.
Can’t decide if faux will find a new fact-checker or just dispense with fact-checking altogether. If their audience had any cognitive abilities they would surely be suffering from cognitive dissonance when actually exposed to fact-checking so perhaps faux should abandon the idea.
Given enough time Fox News will have most of the 74 million people that voted for Trump in 2020 rooting hard for Putin to prevail.
“And it’s possible they’re afraid not to do that,” he added. “They know if they stray from the script the White House has written for them, they’ll be denounced from the briefing room as tools of Putin.”
Projection. Tucker knows his day is coming.
She isn’t a so-called reporter, she is an actual reporter one of the very few at Fox. Tucker and Faulkner are just talking heads spouting their uninformed opinions.
Yeah, just like Trump has a comeuppance on the way.
Uh huh. It’s happening. For sure.
Media, talking about media, talking about media. I can’t think of anywhere else where this happens but I could be wrong. It’s this preoccupation with celebrity that America has. Stronger broadcasting laws would take care of the riff raff so media could focus on issues in a coherent manner without resorting to inflammatory name calling, idiotic speculation and amplifying big lies.
There are nations wherein the government has laws regulating the news media, and the dissemination of information in general across all communication platforms. The U.S. doesn’t want to emulate them for the most part. For good reason.
Do we really need to know at all times what Carlson is saying? How about just a list of his lies maybe once every two weeks?
