Tucker Carlson again ridicules the "Kagans".

Tucker is the only person in MSM to consistently take on the "Kagans".

Uncle Joe, Cold War hawk.

Interesting related article: What the West Will Never Understand About Putin's Ukraine Obsession (https://www.google.com/amp/s/time.co...ts/%3famp=true).

You actually think that Tucker Carlson is part of MSM?

Carlson is essentially an entertainer. Good many democrats and independents realize this and are tuning in.

His tools...facial expression, timing and creative use of language.

With so many comedians intimidated with deplatforming he has occupied the gap.

Disinformation is "entertainment"?
A pretty lame justification.

Disinformation is bipartisan and a main feature of MSM.

What TC has done is to wrap it with comedy.

BTW what was Faux News response to a case against TC.
My old head cannot remember but I think the line was...TC's production should not be taken seriously.

Isn't that what righties do when confronted with obvious crap "Well, everybody else is doing it too!"

The judge overseeing TC's libel case wrote: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements he makes."
Reasonable viewers would not describe the overwhelming majority of TC's fans. They take his blathering's as gospel.
Faux had to argue that. If Carlson got successfully sued for libel it would be open season on their entire lineup of evening "entertainers".

TC wrapping his commentary in comedy? Suurrre that's what Tucker's fans say every night. That TC, he sure is a funny guy.
D, were you dropped on your head as a child?

To be delicate, the highlighted part of your post is simply not true.

The lies spread by Tucker and other Fox personalities are harmful to people and our country.

You seem to think this is a big joke.

TV is entertainment, most of which is pretty lame.

Check out Network. Trumpism, i.e. his original base, is a group shouting "we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore." And it's like a virus. There's even a blue variant out there now.

"Are they yelling in Atlanta, Ted" ? At 2:15. The movie predates (and predicts) the Turner Network by 12 years.

Also presented by our overlords, but very effective.
