Tucker Carlson must be outraged by Tucker Carlson
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ucker-carlson/
Quote:
The Tucker Carlson of early June must be outraged by the Tucker Carlson of early May.
Five weeks ago, Carlson was preoccupied with the novel coronavirus and the countermeasures various states had devised to stop it. Among cable television news hosts, Carlson was early in cautioning his audience to the scourge of the virus. That said, he found the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders to be excessive deployments of state authority, creating economic devastation out of proportion with the public health threat. A particular target was Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D), whom Carlson called “the most incompetent dictatorial, self-involved governor I’ve seen in a long time.”
Carlson is of course entitled to criticize governors from his opinion perch at Fox News. But surely this rock-ribbed rule follower preached adherence to Mills’s legally promulgated restrictions. Surely he counseled everyone to comply. Surely he made clear that, misgivings aside, “things fall apart” when people take matters into their own hands.
Well, no, actually he didn’t do all that.
On his April 30 show, Carlson introduced Rick Savage, owner of the Sunday River Brewing Co. of Bethel, Maine. Frustrated by Mills’s restrictions, Savage at the moment was threatening to open his restaurant in defiance of the government. “Rick Savage has had enough of this. He owns a restaurant in Bethel, Maine. He says he is opening up tomorrow and he is daring the state to stop him,” said compliance king Tucker Carlson.

Zuck seems utterly unaware of racism. Sad, but he's led a very sheltered life.

Donny Had The Boy Prince Push the National Enquirer to Probe Scarborough Murder Conspiracy
Donny is so hellbent on smearing the MSNBC host that he had Jared push the Enquirer to publish the lies, sources told The Daily Beast. Even the tabloid rag wouldn’t sink that low.

A Week in America on Right-Wing Radio

Hard to believe so many listen to these hate-mongers, but they do. So sad. So many ignorant, uninformed, hateful folks in this country. Many of them espouse Christianity, but their behavior is exactly the opposite of Christ's teachings.

Misinformation about George Floyd protests is surging; beware of 3 big claims
https://www.seattletimes.com/busines...surges-online/
Quote:
Antifa Misinformation
The unsubstantiated theory that antifa activists are responsible for the riots and looting was the biggest piece of protest misinformation tracked by Zignal Labs, which looked at certain categories of falsehoods. Of 873,000 pieces of misinformation linked to the protests, 575,800 were mentions of antifa, Zignal Labs said.
The antifa narrative gained traction because “long-established networks of hyperpartisan social media influencers now work together like a well-oiled machine,” said Erin Gallagher, a social media researcher.
That began when Trump tweeted Sunday that “ANTIFA led anarchists” and “Radical Left Anarchists” were to blame for the unrest, without providing specifics. Then he called antifa “a Terrorist Organization.”

The “Antifa” narrative is all bullshit, yet the f’ing Attorney General and fake president* are amp’ing it. This disgusting administration must be defeated, then shot for treason.

I'll buy the bullets.
Right now it's all hands on deck to defend tRump. The Fourth Reich is actively blurring the line between peaceful protest and rioting. Notice how almost overnight there are reports and video of police attacking peaceful protesters and journalists across the country. Are they trying to provoke people into fighting back so even harsher measures can be used?

No one here is ignorant enough to take this hatemonger Carlson seriously, right?

I think it's safe to say that Fox News qualifies as an enemy of the state.
