Are you Serious. He only has one point of view and that's his and its extreme and irrational to the core. Tucker and Bannon look like book ends for GOP fascism.

From your buddy Fucker recently:

“Joe Biden is calling for an unconditional surrender from Vladimir Putin,” he said in his Aug. 29 broadcast. “Here’s the weird thing. By any actual reality-based measure, Vladimir Putin is not losing the war in Ukraine. He is winning the war in Ukraine and Joe Biden looks at that and says we won’t stop until you proffer an unconditional surrender.”

Make sense of that if you can. This link is from Sept. 12, so paywalled. He is nothing more than a shill for Russia and Putin. Just this week even Xi and Modi have flipped on Putin.

Real difference is that Biden (US) is helping Ukraine while Trump tried to blackmail them for personal gain and got caught.

The Voices that question occurrences in Syria are left wing voices. The Voices that ask about transparency in money relating to arms sale are also left wing.

In addition there are people with different points of view whose only access to msm is Tucker.

Jimmy Dore, Brian, McGregor etc.

The few and infrequent people from the Left he allows on his show are those willing to be designated punching bags for his neo-fascist nonsense. As for CNN, they want to revert to being a news channel rather than a mix of news, infotainment and political polemic. Fox News has no such aspiration to be a news channel, nor have they ever been one. It's entire raison d'être is to foment outrage on the Right.

Murdoch was (and IMHO still is) Operation Mockingbird conducted by the CIA.

It did not stop when Bill Colby (then CIA director) promised Congress and we the people of the USA that is was over. Bill Colby subsequently, and eloquently stated that it was the business of the CIA to LIE and DECIEVE every step of the way.

Everyone was like 'that's a relief', we love you, enjoy your retirement.

This pretty much sums up the current controversy which should not be one.

DeSantis’s whole political style is premised on the idea that conservative media is a closed information ecosystem. Reality doesn’t matter. The voting-sting operation fell apart when the targets turned out to have been informed by the government that they were eligible, but conservative media did not report that. He can claim anything he wants, as long as it flatters the correct heroes and mocks the correct villains. All he need do is continue supplying material for the right-wing media machine, and it will continue pumping out stories of his heroism, regardless of reality.

Well here comes the kicker.

A federal appeals court dealt social media giants a blow Friday when it upheld a Texas law that seeks to stop platforms from removing posts if the removal can be viewed as discriminating against a "viewpoint."

So this means that even if its identified as a disinformation campaign, the social mediate companies cannot censor it. This is the way to legally make a lie the truth.

Why it matters: If the law goes into effect, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media companies with more than 50 million users will effectively be prevented from enforcing content-related rules on any user postings that can claim to express a political view.

The ruling opens a door for similar laws to be passed by other states, unless a future U.S. Supreme Court appeal reverses it.

Any thoughts on how the SCOTUS will rule on this one? I will bet they whiff at it. Otherwise the noise will be deafening with elections around the corner.

From the libertarians. SCOTUS will kill this nonsense.
