Tucker Carlson again ridicules the "Kagans".
 

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

Uncle Joe, Cold War hawk.

You actually think that Tucker Carlson is part of MSM?

It seems to me that the Fox News is mainstream media. Their content is more propaganda than news.

I'm not sure what he means by "Kagans".

Robert Kagan

Still touting Bubba The Love Sponge's second fiddle who has a thing for underage girls?

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.

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.

Yet another excuse for TC: he's just entertainment. As if slapping that label on him negates all effects.

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

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 :rolleyes: 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.

The world of politics is a world of comedy.

One Zelensky even carried it to another level...he is a comedian who became president. Take a look at some of the main stream politicians. One is so disheveled his appearance induced laughter. Check their pronouncements.
Can one react with a straight face?

TC's schtick is to induce ridicule/laughter by playing on glaring contradictions. People tune in because they enjoy the spectacle especially relating to politicians.

BTW TC's case had precedent in that of Rachel Maddow.
His lawyers used similar arguments employed earlier by Maddow's lawyers.

That was my first thought too, Mark. There is no way Tuckles the Klown reps anything mainstream or otherwise. He's a modern day Axis Annie.

Got any linkage to that wild assertion about Doc Maddow?

Based on Wiki, thinking she's a news show talking head entertainer. Italics from article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Maddow

Asked about her political views by the Valley Advocate, Maddow replied, "I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican Party platform."

Makes me a liberal too.

A Newsweek profile said, "At her best, Maddow debates ideological opponents with civility and persistence ... but for all her eloquence, she can get so wound up ripping Republicans that she sounds like another smug cable partisan."The Baltimore Sun critic David Zurawik accused Maddow of acting like "a lockstep party member".The editors of The New Republic similarly criticized her – naming her among the "most over-rated thinkers" of 2011, they called her program "a textbook example of the intellectual limitations of a perfectly settled perspective".

I Like Ike.

The last decent republican.

You must be tuning in to an entirely different TC than the rest of us see. Or at the very least viewing him through a totally different lens.

I agree with everything each of you has contributed to this thread.

Remember the alleged 'Operation Mockingbird' ?

https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL21...-the-media.htm

It was real, except that it wasn't / isn't the CIA doing it. It's the Gog. Our spiritual overlords. The laughable 'lizard people' of QAnon.

It's scary that the left leaning networks are the only ones coherent (and truthful) at the present time. That could swing at anytime.

The proverbial 'they'...the elusive forces of evil that want the human race divided and fighting each other...try to get us to kill each other.

The new civil war in the USA.

Tucker's wrong about Trump being the answer, but he's right about not taking "democracy" to the Ukraine.

We installed the Shah over Mossadegh in Iran for corporate gain (look what happened there, blame Carter, eh), put Macros in the Philippines, and don't forget Allende in Chile.

That's democracy. Not.

How prophetic; life is imitating art.

"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.

Glenn Greenwald? Really? :rolleyes:

Maddow: From the headline of the article you linked Carlson: From the quote I supplied So just how much skepticism do you suppose TC's fans arrive at? What percentage of them would you call reasonable viewers?

Typical!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Greenwald

Greenwald is a brave, thorough, accomplished investigative journalist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRzDsxUOm4M&t=6188s

The only thing suspicious about Greenwald, is the fact he hasn't been 'suicided' like Gary Webb.

Two bullets in the head, gutter downspout and window screen laying on the ground beneath an open window. Clear case of suicide.

The Ukraine project has run up into reality.

Any scholar of Russia would know that the Russians would not allow their prized naval base in Crimea to fall into the hands of NATO.

Secondly, the Donbas area was the industrial heart of both Ukraine and Russia. This is the area noted for high valued equipment, such as aircraft engines and turbines for ships and hydroelectric power. However, it is situated on the Russian border and is inhabited by a significant number of Russian-speaking sympathizers. The Donbas is where there is an active, slow-burning conflict.

The Ukrainian government would like to cleanse the area, but any Russian government which allows that to happen would immediately fall.

Additionally, the Ukrainians having weaponized language and given free rein to right-wing militias have created further divisions.

I believe the Russian military parading on the border is indicating to the Ukrainians the real cost of cleansing the Donbas.

And Erdogan is trying to open up the Black Sea to NATO warships.

I wish I could fly Old Glory around in the bed of my truck without thinking about how Ike fomented the War on Terrorism by radicalizing a lot of Muslims.

Then we had Charlie Wilson's War in Afghanistan, created (and armed) Osama Bin Laden. Had to roll in there (for 20 years) just to find Osama in Pakistan.

Okie dokie, sure pally. If you like ambulance chasing pissants. (rolls eyes)

Tucker Carlson provides great entertainment.

What actually scares Putin is that a former part of the Soviet Union will show success in adopting democracy and fighting corruption, both anathema to Putin's kleptocracy.

FWIW, Russian speakers in Ukraine are far more free than Russian speakers in Russia.

Glad to know that you see this human excrement as "entertainment".

You're right, he's silly. 'First the Ukraine, then Boise?' Ridiculous. But one look at the map makes clear that a strong force in the Ukraine can dominate Eurasia....http://www.politicalchat.org/attachm...1&d=1643469845

But all kidding aside, the smart people in Germany mostly dismissed Hitler as a clown. But that left millions for Hitler to work with....

That's what I'm afraid of.

Indeed silly. Probably it is the "Red Dawn" syndrome.
