Wait, do you mean to tell me that anyone still gives a shit about Tucker Carlson??? ๐ฑ
Unfortunately lots of people do.
I wish any program that even remotely associates itself with being news has to identify that it's entertainment and not to be taken as fact, at the start of every episode. Probably still wouldn't help, but maybe ..
If you are ok with for-profit "news" not existing, then I don't see a problem.
If he was insignificant, Putin wouldn't have given him an interview. He's a useful idiot for the people who want to turn the US into a Russian vassal state.
Tens and tens of millions of Americans hang on his every word.
This response is kind of showing how out of touch you are. What is your super informed opinion on Joe Rogan's listener-ship levels. And for an extra challenge please respond in a way that shows you aren't out of touch (impossible).
Sure, I'll get right on that dude... ๐
Dude really? He is more popular than ever and actually reports on interesting things. Is there a single person in the corporate media that does a more interesting job?
John Oliver
Anyone not a mouthpiece for fascism
Wait, did I get this right? So John Oliver is a mouthpiece for fascism, but Tucker Carlson isn't? Suuuure, buddy.
No, you did not get that right
Maybe you could have made your point more clearly?
He is a propagandist...
Compared to Tucker Carlson? Hard disagree. His show actually does research, Tucker is a stochastic terrorist.
His "research" is propaganda, you just have to examine it a little and it falls apart. I am not saying he is always wrong, but his monlogues are almost always misleading at best. For example I could say "Dont go to old folks homes because nearly 25% of people die there!" That could be correct, but its misleading. You can see through it because its obvious, but he is more subtle.
I didn't bother reading that just FYI
Stay ignorant if you want, its your right.
