    Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

      I haven’t kept up much with fucker “punchable face” Carlson but from what I’ve heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his “journalist” career

        Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

        I wouldn’t be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

          Please don’t pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.

      He often presents populist ideas, even when they aren’t in line with his normal rhetoric.

      I think he does it to grab attention or appeal to people with that idea. He then spews a ton of well-polished half-truths and straight lies to make whatever point he was after in the first place.

      It’s not uncommon for anyone to agree with a sentence or two from him or of context, but in context, it’s all garbage.
