Yeah, he fires up the 24/7 dipsh!ts and should be next month's coverboy on "Punchable Face" Magazine. He's found his niche, much like the GOP in Texas, and he's rolling with it. You too, if you applied yourself, could sell Icecubes to Eskimos.
So... do you take Carlson seriously? If so, then his own network's lawyers as well as a court of law considers you unreasonable. Congratulations. "A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no "reasonable viewer" takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously, a new court filing said. "US District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil agreed with Fox's premise, adding that the network "persuasively argues" that "given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrives with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements he makes." "This 'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary,'" the ruling said.
Anytime my faith is restored in humanity I go read the comments on the Fox News site so it can keep those feelings in check. I try to look at the articles that have ANYTHING to do with a Black person. Those are great for getting one pissed off.
Maybe we should take a page from their playbook... Russia Passes Censorship Law Threatening Imprisonment, Forced Labor Over ‘Fake News’ Russia has passed a new censorship law in a bid to suppress news of its assault on Ukraine. The Duma, Russia’s parliament, has passed a bill enabling anyone accused of publishing “false information” regarding Russia’s military to be prosecuted and potentially imprisoned. According to Russian news agency TASS, those found guilty of disseminating “false information” about the Russian army face up to three years in prison or a fine of 1.5 million rubles ($13,000). However, those found guilty of using “an official position” – for which they are remunerated – to spread “false information” face between 5 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up up to 5 million rubles ($44,000). “If the fake information caused serious consequences, the term of imprisonment will be from 10 to 15 years,” TASS reports. TASS also reported that those who publicly call on Russia to stop the use of its armed forces or publicly call for foreign sanctions on Russia massive fines and potentially imprisonment. The latter, in particular, would result in potentially a fine worth three years’ wages, imprisonment for up to six months or “forced labor for a term of up to three years.” Russian outlets have been ordered to refer to the assault of Ukraine as a “special military operation” and are only allowed to use officially sanctioned sources when reporting on the conflict. According to Radio France Internationale, Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor published a statement on its website saying: “When preparing their materials and publications relating to the conduct of a special operation in connection with the situation in the Lugansk People’s Republic and the Donetsk People’s Republic, [the media] are obliged to use information and data received by them only from official Russian sources.” Otherwise, the department threatened to immediately block sites that disseminate “false information.” Russia has also been cracking down on media access, reportedly blocking access to social media, restricting access to the BBC and cracking down on independent media, with a number of outlets disbanding or shutting down altogether. https://variety.com/2022/politics/news/russia-censorship-law-fake-news-1235196208/
Trying to find an up-to-date list of his advertisers, beyond Moscow I mean. Not having any luck. The most detailed lists are from nearly 11 months ago.
Tucker Carlson says he was 'wrong' about Ukraine but blames Harris for his mistake. Wonder if it was also Harris that caused him to root for Russia against Ukraine in 2019. Just a rotten bad person.
I haven't watched him much. Can't stand the smug face and fake concern, etc., but also, I haven't been living in the US, so I have had less exposure. Only seen some clips.
Oh I definitely don’t watch. Clips only as well. It’s just crazy obvious to me. I just don’t get some people.
