Tucker Carlson Thread

[Mike Honcho 5,270]

“We are very very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” Carlson wrote in one text to an unidentified Fox employee on Jan. 4, 2021, according to the filing. “I hate him passionately, I blew up at Peter Navarro today in frustration. I actually like Peter. But I can’t handle much more of this.”

And then this hard hitting interview.

That Trump interview was something. Xi comes to mar a Lago to kiss the ring, and while they are eating Trump let’s him know he just bombed the Fock out of Syria and killed a bunch of Russians. Now a days Xi threatens us and won’t even take a call, never mind have a sit down. We have gone  from Vito to Fredo.

Speaking of cherry picking:

“Oh, let’s see. I spent four years defending his policies and I, I’m going to defend them again tonight,” Carlson said. “And actually, and I’m pretty straight forward, I’m um I love Trump. Like, as a person, I think Trump is funny and insightful.”

“And I said this to Trump when he called me, you know, all wounded about those texts,” he continued. “That was a moment in time where I was absolutely infuriated.”

Fox has argued the text messages between its employees brought to light in the various filings have been “cherry picked” by Dominion to drum up media coverage of the case.

Got caught up on Tuckers interview with Elon Musk. Two Giants having an in depth conversation over a myriad of issues. Great stuff.

Big lefty here and I can’t take much of that show. Really not good. 

[thegeneral 3,209]

Rumors out there that he is out at Fox.

Developing….

[thegeneral 3,209]

Fired / Quit?!

[Reality 3,121]

Tucker will be fine I'm sure. 

Reminds me, caught this yesterday, powerful.

 

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,348]

AOC says words are violence so I am sure

if Tucker is out at FOX, GL FOX lol

more Hannity uniparty nonsense?

Surprising.

Has to make you think this is somehow tangentially related to the Dominion lawsuit fallout.

However, I'm sure 1.) FOX News will just find some other conservative to go say crazy sh!t on the air to rile people up and keep chugging along.

2.) It will make some people on the right further say "FOX is not far enough to the right."

[thegeneral 3,209]

Looks like he was canned. Rupert didn’t like having to write that check. 

Hannity next?

Maybe they'll bring someone on air to whine about "losers" posting on a Friday night a week before they post on a Friday night.

Liberals really hate Carlson because they don't like being dominated by logic.

Why should we care?

The top news host at the top watched cable news network gets canned out of the blue is definitely news.

Will be curious to see if there is more fallout, who replaces Tucker, where he goes with his large audience.

[Drizzay 720]

I don't watch any national news programs.

 

I hope this helps.

OK, I guess.   I am not invested in "Tucket Carlson" so I really do not care much.  He was just an opinion journalist anyway.

I do think it affects political discourse to some degree because there are people (some of them here) who clearly watch Tucker and take him as gospel. Opinion posing as journalism is how all those 24/7 news stations function in the nighttime hours. 

But again- FOX News is a machine that will just put another person in that wheel and keep rolling along.

Agree that they just plug in some other opinion person.  Unless they shift gears to implement actual journalism.  What ever, still need to watch four or five different outets to make any attempt to assemle any notion of accuracy or truth.

Jesse Watters is a bigger tool. He’s probably eyeing that spot.

No, actually we hate him for all the lies he has told, particularly those he knew were false (see Dominion Voting Systems). 

[Fnord 2,265]

Too funny. What other silver spoon, trust fund, Ivy league crybaby will Fox find that can convince viewers he's a man of the people just asking questions? Where will @Hardcore troubadour go for his inane talking points now?

The humanity!

[seafoam1 3,023]

Carlson kicks ass. The liberals are losing their shlt.

Tucker Carlson AND Dan Bongino  OOT

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,348]

imagine if MSNBC removed "journalists" for lying

[Fireballer 2,642]

Lemon out too

 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Fox news signaled it was moving left for quite some time.  It was clear Tucker was getting fired.  Just a matter of when.   Internet news channels like Newsmax is the future anyway.

You idiot liberals...

Tucker is welcome to start a thread in Geek Club while he makes a decision on his future.  We have lots of money here to pay him well.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Tuckers best move is to do the Joe Rogan type of show.

Too bad his personality is made of tissue paper and he has no intrinsic entertainment value as a result.
