Yes, when McCarthy was right shows up, you know the brush is extremely broad.
I thought cancel culture (blacklisting) was bad, I guess it depends on who's doing the canceling.

You know you can't cite good ole Tucker. Fox's own lawyers stated no "reasonable viewer" takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously. lol

CNN's owner literally called his own ministry 'the leader in news to the left'. But keep going... we do take you seriously.

Everyone knows CNN and MSNBC go to the left and Fox goes to the right. Now, when they state that no reasonable viewer can take one of their hosts seriously, I won't link to those hosts either.

OK so I looked it up... Statements made by a lawyer in court during a defamation suit?! Lol.
You'd think Rupert Murdoch had said his network was the "the leader in news to the right".

You didn't have to look very far. I included a link in that post. Yes, it was a statement the "Fox" lawyer made to the court as a defense in the slander case regarding Tucker Carlson.
Do you need Rupert Murdoch to tell you that Fox News takes a slant to the right? Come on, you're smarter than that.

So don’t trust the #1 cable news show because the Fox News lawyers were smart enough to figure out how to get a case thrown out?!? Gotcha!
Btw, watch da video … good stuff about big pharma in there… even a reasonable viewer might think so!

They stated in a court of law that his show cannot be trusted by a reasonable person. So, he got out of being found guilty for slander at the price of throwing his credibility out the window. Sure, he is the modern day Walter Cronkite. lolSo don’t trust the #1 cable news show because the Fox News lawyers were smart enough to figure out how to get a case thrown out?!? Gotcha!

Here's Cronkite, Jr. talking about tanning your balls to increase your testosterone.

That stuff doesn't get released at times. I dont think the Columbine things were publicly released at full length, only edited in documentaries.

who knows maybe that works! I'm not trying it. Tucker covers a lot of stuff that doesn't interest me (like UFOs or UAPs or whatever they call them). But he brings up good subjects and does he and his team does their homework (unlike most on MSM that just parrot whatever liberal talking points of the day/week/month). If there is a liberal journalist that actually does investigative journalism, let me know... I'll check em out.He's not #1 in cable news for no reason. But go ahead and believe he has no credibility. On the other hand Joy Reid and Don Lemon are trusted journalists right?!? LMFAO!

He is because he polarizes for making ridiculous takes that become a lot of attention. Its like Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless, its the same technique, just different fields.

Okay we can have a serious conversation about it or we can just leave it, but stop laughing about every point of view that isn't yours, makes you less of a prick.

You made a blanket statement about Tucker making ridiculous statements with no proof. Go ahead and share what makes Tucker #1. I don't watch him every night and only listen when I'm exercising on the bike, so maybe I've missed the ridiculousness. And I only started listening periodically for less than a year now. But most of the time his monologue is good and informative.
It is funny that you are calling me a prick, when your posts show your true colors on the daily.

Fox lawyers made a clear statement about him. As much as you want to laugh about it, dragging your "#1 guy on cable" into the mud by saying that every single one of his points should be expressed with reasonable amounts of skeptism is not a common strategy to prevent your network from a damage payment.
There was also a time where he said a black person from the upper-middle-class cant experience racism:
Or the time he spoke about the metric system:
I did. He makes headlines by saying outlandish and ridiculous things, overdramatizing them in order to make people watch and click the network. He is a money machine for Fox.
Well, again, I have differing points from you and that makes me a prick. Alright.
Not that I have a problem with being a prick, I am one, but its not that. Sorry.
Well, no.

Your 2nd link didn't work. The first link, I agree that he shouldn't have implied that he didn't experience racism. But that wasn't the point of his dialogue of course. He was talking about how Cory Booker didn't grow up poor and why is he using "privilege" or being a victim in his rhetoric ... when he himself grew up in a privileged family. It's a good point. Maybe leave off the racism comment as I didn't hear him tie that to anything in particular (unless it was not included in that clip).
But let's get this clear... I didn't call you a prick, you called me one. You can try to turn it around, but my comment about you showing your "true colors" is that anytime anyone says anything you don't agree with... you get all defensive and lash out and cause multiple people to go at you. You, of course, are welcome to say the same thing about me. I will always defend my thoughts and perspective. I will also come out and say when I'm wrong too, as we all aren't perfect.
Again, have whatever opinions you want about Tucker. It's all good with me. He's not my fav to watch on Fox, so doesn't hurt my feelings. He does make good points to those with open minds and sometimes may make "outlandish" statements, but it's few and far between from whatever google search provides you.
Have a good day bro. I'm all good with you and I really don't think you are a prick... just that you sometimes get worked up... which we all do to a degree.
But hook me up with another link to the metric system video! I'm curious now to hear what he said about the metric system!
