Tucker Carlson is a dream boat (UPDATE: Tucker Carlson is an irredeemable asshole)

lol yeah I remember the huge piece Berman wrote about that.

Also, Tucker Carlson is one of those people who is just so intrinsically horrible and bad for America that I would happily shove him, screaming, into a blazing furnace.

i love the tone of tucker's voice. he sounds like he's trying to believe in real time what he's thinking / saying. you've got this, tuck

I have a hard time caring about corporate advertisers boycotting Tucker Carlson when they've been boycotting progressive programming since the invention of commercial broadcasting. They've always had "the power to decide what ideas should be discussed." https://t.co/WffLZm4DGO pic.twitter.com/6Einu4Je3Q

There was a time when I would've fucked him -- without the bowtie, of course.

he is white and has a penis.

I'm....not sure about the latter?

Cloaca surely

very surprising to learn that he’s the sort of guy who knows the age of consent in every state.

"Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago," he said. "Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why."

'something naughty'

i feel like the scales of cosmic justice would go some way to achieving balance if bubba the love sponge played a role in bringing down both gawker media and tucker carlson but i'm not holding my breath tbh

there are several points in those quotes where bubba is acting as the voice of reason to what tucker is saying, which is pretty incredible

see they never apologize, not sure why the left is so eager to apologize for even the most minor non-infraction when that high road thing just doesn't make a difference.

was carlson using basic before kreayshawn ?!

1. I don't like it when people say shocking things to shock jocks.

2. I like it less when we data-mine a person's past to blast them out of the marketplace of ideas. Were people actually outraged by Tucker's comments? Or vengefully gleeful to find them? https://t.co/p1ZxVoQ1VB

¿¿¿¿PORQUE NO LOS DOS, CABRON????

anyone using the phrase ‘marketplace of ideas’ with a straight face should be dropped down a lift-shaft

fox news, the marketplace of ideas

i've never wanted to punch a haircut until Tucker came along

anyway, looks like he's going on "vacation"

he'll be an NFL commentator soon

doubt that

― omar little,

I don't understand why he would apologize over this or why anyone would expect him to. Who exactly would he be apologizing to? His viewers? His viewers agree with him

I can't find it now but will look again later, but I saw a clip on youtube arguing that Leftist guests going on Tucker's show to use his platform are themselves being used by Tucker as a gateway to reach younger viewers. Tucker's no dummy, will give him that, and he knows his 'economic populist' argument can hit a chord outside his target audience. I'm on the fence about this, the almost fawning reception he gets from the likes of Jimmy Dore (and Glenn Greenwald) is dispiriting. Kulinski will be critical of Tucker on his show, but did give me pause for thought still - if you use a master propagandists platform, is there a price to pay (Tucker obviously thinks so, he never battles or interrupts his leftists guests, they have all the time in the world)

Ultimately, I think the value of going on outweights the price, but Tucker is an insidious operator, hmm

Don't go on the white nationalist happy hour show. This is not difficult.

I've not actually been asked yet but I'll bear that in mind for sure!

Thread: obviously the NYT is not in the habit of doxxing the subject of its stories. So what’s going on here? Tucker was signaling to his followers to harass NYT reporters who are covering him, and any others reporters who might be thinking of doing so. https://t.co/vc4bUDJnf1

carlson told his viewers that an upcoming NYT story was going to reveal his address (which NYT denies - have they ever doxxed someone?), then his followers found the addresses of the reporter and photographer and doxxed him instead, while the right (including ken fucking cuccinelli) started blurring the the lines between fact, fiction, future, and present, vaguely telling their own followers that the NYT had plans to dox Carlson, or even that they had already done so.

please change name of thread to fuck fucker carlson

I think the NYT story is about sexual harrassment claims. I wonder why Tucker might want to talk about who's doxxing whom instead

those protestors who got so much shit for bothering this nazi pervert at his house a while back deserve apologies from many people

please change name of thread to fuck fucker carlson

I think the NYT story is about sexual harassment claims.

that is also a story (and includes other Fox assholes), but supposedly NYT were/are preparing to run a separate piece on fucker this week

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is fashioning something of a professional defense: Sure, he lies, but not the way those guys at CNN lie.

In a 2018 podcast appearance, he ripped into CNN “Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter. “He’s just such a pompous little guy. … I mean, he’s one of the falsest people I’ve ever seen on television. … He’s just so, like, self-righteous … but also lying at the same time. Like, I lie ’cause everyone does. But one thing I would never do, have never done in my whole life, is lie self-righteously,” said Carlson in a chat with Jamie Weinstein. Moments later, he reversed: “I don’t lie.”

Three years on, Carlson’s not even trying to correct the record. In a new interview on “The Rubin Report,” he fielded a question about CNN anchors who “just lie again and again.” Carlson came up with a memorable response: “Well, it’s — I guess, I would ask myself, like, I mean, I lie if I’m cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t — I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever, but to systematically lie like that, without asking yourself, why am I doing this?” (See video at 36:00.)

The highly rated Fox News host argued that CNNers lie to prop up the powerful people in American life. “You’re lying to defend Jeff Bezos? You’re treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader?”

The admission was bizarre in light of the context: Host Dave Rubin didn’t ask Carlson whether he lies, but Carlson came out with his confession nonetheless. Maybe he feels bad about it all?

Nor did Rubin follow up on Carlson’s newsworthy admission. The opportunity for just such a cross-examination may well arise in the future, however. The next time that Carlson decides to smear someone on air, that someone’s libel attorney will surely point out in a complaint that Carlson has freely admitted to lying. Fox News defended a previous suit stemming from Carlson’s show by arguing that he engages in “non-literal commentary.”

evening fascism

So let’s check in

Tucker doesn't know why 45 year old white ladies want to kill him when he's "never been yelled at by a Guatemalan housekeeper."

Thinks it must be because they have "weak husbands" which makes "angry women”

Wait, he can't go to the Snake River Grill in Jackson Hole anymore because angry white women? that's just not right

can you FP a 20 year old post?

He's still no Halle Berry.

More like Heil-y Berry amirite?

Hail ye Taxi

A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.

The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Mr. Carlson’s firing.

In the message, sent to one of his producers in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Mr. Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men — Trump supporters, he said — violently attacking “an Antifa kid.”

It was “three against one, at least,” he wrote.

And then he expressed a sense of dismay that the attackers, like him, were white.

“Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote.

“It’s not how white men fight,” he said. But he said he found himself for a moment wanting the group to kill the person he had described as the Antifa kid.

Did they not realize he was racist until now?

they realized he was a liability.

This asshole has been failing up and down for decades. He's like a big turd that just can't be flushed.

White turds don't flush like that.
