  Ah, yes…sorry.  
  A, B, C, D, E, F-uck Tuck >
  
  And people still continue to think they are watching “the news” when they watch his show.  Networks should have to offer a disclaimer about programming like his. >
  
  I have felt they needed a visual and verbal disclaimer each and every time they come back from commercial break, right after they claimed in court no reasonable person would take them seriously.
  "Warning. Everyone is a paid performer, paid to lie to you for entertainment purposes only. No news personal work here. We hope you enjoy our deadpan theatric performance." >
  
  I have long felt that Fox News should be shut down entirely. I know it's a bit of an authoritarian take, but frankly, Fox News and their ilk are extremely dangerous and compromised right wing propaganda arms. I don't know if I'd call for the arrests of any hosts or owners of Fox News, but I'd definitely love to see the entire channel shut the fuck down. 
  One could argue, pretty successfully, that Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and the like are all risking our national security. >
  
  Yeah, Sinclair broadcasting group, a known right-wing media group that buys up local channels to spew right wing propaganda as "Must-runs" did a must-run about "fake news" being dangerous. They literally pulled that straight from Hitler.
  The difference is that right-wing pundits shout about fake news (with no evidence) to create the illusion that they are the only trustworthy news source. 
  There is evidence that right-wing pundits and talking heads are inspiring terrorists. Look at Libs of TikTok for a prime example of that. Or Tucker Carlson. Or Ben Shapiro. They all have had mass shooters and domestic terrorists name them as inspirations for why they were terrorists.
  I'm not sure if you meant to pull a "gotcha!" on me, but the key difference between what I said and what fake news people say is that there is plentiful evidence pointing out that right-wingers are quite literally the biggest threat our country is facing at this time, whether through terrorism or through insane political moves. >
  
  Then it seems we are in agreement. There is no 'gotcha', it's a supportive statement. >
  
  Ah okay. I am a jaded man and assume that people who reply are here to argue. It's a bad habit, but one that stems from years of right-wing dumbassery, tbh. >
  
  All good 👊 >
  
  He doesn't hate liberals. Instead, Fucker Carlson hates his caricature view of liberals, which he deliberately crafted for his audience. Those liberals don't actually exist exist except in his mind and the minds of his viewers. They built up a straw man and that's the one they rail against constantly. Their own ridiculousness leads them to hate more than half of their own compatriots. It's an addiction that's gotten way out of hand. >
  
  Nah, he genuinely hates liberals. 
  They mocked his efforts to go mainstream, and exposed him as the joke he always was. Now he's throwing an extended tantrum and rules a kingdom of lies and hate. Just like Trump and Clarence Thomas. >
  
  his mommy, who abandoned him, is or can be construed as a "liberal."  that's what normal people in this country have to worry about: how tucker is managing his feelings about his mom today. that's the sum of his ideology and what he cares about. >
  
  Mother issues?  That strangely explains a lot. >
  
  It's his villain origin story >
  
  Part of it. The other part is when he had to stop wearing his bowtie. John Stewart finished what his mother began. >
  
  That Jon Stewart interview was brutal. My hubs and I watch it every now and then when we need a good laugh. >
  
  Tucker is such a piece of shit >
  
  Jon Stewart called him out greatly on this when Tucker and another guy had a dumb show together and Stewart was guest. >
  
  Oh, on Crossfire. On CNN. Back when Fucker Carlson wore those stupid bow ties. >
  
  Only the 11th Doctor could pull off the bow tie look and even then it was more for irony sake >
  
  Funny, he didn't hate liberals, or even Hunter Biden, when he was trying to get his idiot son into college. Quite the opposite, he reached out to his good friend Hunter and asked for some alumni pull. >
  
  While you can assume my comments are sarcastic, they're also factual. >
  
  
  Carlson was one of several pundits and politicians who predicted sweeping GOP victories in the midterms that never materialized. 
  
  Has Tucker ever once not declared "sweeping victory" before any election? Has any Republican? That's a part of the cult mantra isn't it? Just keeping screaming "we're winning we're wining" no matter what, then when you dont just go "aww fuck" and move on to the next election >
  
  You were right up until the end.  They don’t say “aww fuck” they shriek that everyone else cheated. >
  
  It also is part of a very common voter suppression tactic. Flood the news with predictions and skewed polls that say the Republicans are going to sweep the election, every election. 
  It's meant to make people on the left become apathetic and think that there's no point in voting, so then they don't.
  EDIT:
  Forgot to mention that this is something paid trolls do en masse, in case you somehow haven't noticed. Post doom and gloom comments about how Republican victory is inevitable, so why should "we" bother. Same tactic, same reason. >
  
  Well put. Conservative operatives like Tuck are also paid trolls. He's a script reader. Foreign enemy assets pay him to be the star of his own game show, where he's both the host and the only contestant. >
  
  I mean, he’s basically the star of the Russian propaganda channel. They show clips of him at least every week, if not every day. >
  
  Putin got his money's worth investing fox news, his American affiliate. >
  
  Raise your hand if you still remember Jon Stewart making fun of this tool 15 years ago on CNN’s Crossfire! 🖐️ >
  
  The funniest thing about the Crossfire incident: according to Rob Corddry, Stewart didn't plan on going off the way he did that day - it happened because he hadn't really eaten anything and he was feeling crabby. 
  Jon Stewart destroyed Crossfire and Tucker Carlson's ability to wear bowties because he was hangry.
  E: Here's a link to Corddry. He starts talking about the Crossfire incident around the 1:45 mark. >
  
  What kind of asshole who is (a) over the age of 10, and (b) living in the 21st century wears a bow tie? >
  
  Bowties are cool. >
  
  The only person who ever made a bowtie look cool was Brother Mouzone on ‘The Wire.’ Everyone else who wears one looks like a clown.
