John Oliver on Tucker Carlson

Speaking of the hypocracy of Fox "cancel culture" rants, something about Mitch and Fatty McFascist cancelling #44 as a matter of ongoing policy?

Ugh. That's a heavy dose of Tuckerism included in that. I need to take a break from it.

Latest demagoguery is Tuck holding up Niki Minja's ridiculous anti-vaxery. He truly is an irresponsible menace. People die when they don't get vaccinated, you ass! https://theweek.com/fox-news/1004877...e-want-to-hear

Even later demagoguery, Tuck and other Reich-Wingers calling Gen. Miley's call to China treason. Conveniently forgetting Donny's treasonous insurrection attempt that instigated the call in the first place.

It is not treason to take action against treason, no matter what the source.

Milley's back channel effort to childproof our military relationship with the PRC has both prescedents and some interesting implications for Alexander Vindman, who denounced it as a violation of constitutional procedure. Vindman probably knows more about American civics than most Trumpkin pol's, but has his own conflict with the manchild that destroyed his career over his recounting of the Ukrainian extortion attempt to bolster his political agenda.

I had a quick return response to the treason allegation yesterday. When asked my opinion by one of the orange extremest cult followers.

Guess you would of been OK with a nuclear war started by a sore looser then?

Blank stare back at me.

Sor loser? Nah, a CIC "defending" the good ol' U.S. of A from those commie bastards who were attacking us first trying to take advantage of the "confusion" over the election results. With marshall law thrown in for good measure. Can't change leaders at wartime you know. That or some variation of it must have been on Gen. Miley's mind.

If you haven't seen the Russian PUBLISHED plan for destroying Ukraine as a nation through oppression ranging all the way to genocide, Doug Muder summarizes it here in The Weekly Sift. But this footnote on Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan is worth quoting:

I hate that people like Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan have poisoned the phrase "just asking questions". Questions should be asked, but as part of a process of seeking answers.

The problem with Carlson and Rogan isn't that they're asking questions, but that they're not seeking answers. Instead, they ask questions simply to blow smoke and create paralyzing doubt. They imply that the questions they ask have no good answers, invent repressive forces that are trying to stop people from asking them, and cast themselves as brave rebels against those imagined forces.

I remember, early in Covid vaccination campaign, hearing Carlson do this same routine about vaccine safety. It took me less than a minute to google one of his "courageous" questions and discover that it had been asked and answered on the CDC web site. If Carlson didn't want to accept the CDC's answer, fine; but to pretend that the authorities had no answer and were trying to suppress the question was just dishonest.
