Stop being stupid..... People are allowed into those proceedings..... Your side wasn't allowed inside the building..... Shame more of your side wasn't shot for trespassing.
These folks are all smiles and happy about the free room and board at Bergen-Belsen... I bet they never wanted to leave... Or got to...
Why? Why would that be a big deal? Tucker Carlson has all of the tapes and even his edited releasing under a false narrative isn't making a splash. Why would releasing all of the footage to the public be a huge deal?
Are they sure this guy did anything wrong? He seems to be a typical Las Vegas tourist in all of this video...
Stop being stupid….. Lol “uniparty”…. There’s those that believe in accountability and those that don’t,
What a sham, why km would release these to just fox and tucker just reeks of BS, why not let everyone have it at once? As far as liar carlson, what did anyone expect from him, he`s going to show random clips of nothing and then claim it was a hoax............has he shown anyone getting the crap beat out of them yet or the break in or the mob with all the trump gear? carlson has shown his true colors and anyone who falls for his crap deserve what they get. fox and the far right gop are one and the same, snake oil salesman
Yes, the nerve of law enforcement to use force to keep a mob leader who was feet away from congressmen, breaking in and entering through barricades from getting even closer to congressmen who were in danger and being threatened with death.
i dont think its "freaking out" to call out lies and B.S. when its seen or to question the speaker of the house for releasing video to only one cable news host...someone who is a known liar and propagandist. ive been seeing this term "uniparty" being thrown out there the last couple weeks. and its only from right-wingers who are trying to excuse and defend the january 6th insurrectionists. yall are now using the term "uniparty" to describe those who dont buy into the lies that tucker carlson and donald trump are selling. "uniparty" are those who think that the january 6th insurrectionists should be held accountable for what they did.
Nope, just footage of her storming a joint session of Congress and attempting to charge a law enforcement officer while pushing through a window by a mob.
The ugly elitism of the American right - The Atlantic No one hates ordinary people like the Republicans and their media enablers do. By Tom Nichols Fox News will likely never face any real consequences for the biggest scandal in the history of American media. But will Republican voters finally understand who really looks down on them? It’s time to talk about elitism. Last month, I wrote that the revelations about Fox News in the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit showed that Fox personalities, for all their populist bloviation, are actually titanic elitists. This is not the elitism of those who think they are smarter or more capable than others—I’ll get to that in a moment—but a new and gruesome elitism of the American right, a kind of hatred and disgust on the part of right-wing media and political leaders for the people they claim to love and defend. Greed and cynicism and moral poverty can explain only so much of what we’ve learned about Fox; what the Dominion filings show is a staggering, dehumanizing version of elitism among people who have made a living by presenting themselves as the only truth-tellers who can be trusted by ordinary Americans. I am, to say the least, no stranger to the charge of elitism. When I wrote a book in 2018 titled The Death of Expertise, a study of how people have become so narcissistic and so addled by cable and the internet that they believe themselves to be smarter than doctors and diplomats, I was regularly tagged as an “elitist.” And the truth is: I am an elitist, insofar as I believe that some people are better at things than others. But even beyond talent and ability, I do in fact firmly believe that some opinions, political views, personal actions, and life choices are better than others. As I wrote in my book at the time: Americans now believe that having equal rights in a political system also means that each person’s opinion about anything must be accepted as equal to anyone else’s. This is the credo of a fair number of people despite being obvious nonsense. It is a flat assertion of actual equality that is always illogical, sometimes funny, and often dangerous. If that makes me an elitist, so be it. In this, elitism is the opposite of populism, whose adherents believe that virtue and competence reside in the common wisdom of a nebulous coalition called “the people.” This pernicious and romantic myth is often a danger to liberal democracies and constitutional orders that are founded, first and foremost, on the inherent rights of individuals rather than whatever raw majorities think is right at any given time. ... I have argued with some of these people. Sometimes, I have mocked them. Mostly, I have refused to engage them. But whatever my feelings are about the abominable choices of Trump supporters, here is the one thing I have never done that Fox’s hosts did for years: I have never patronized any of the people I disagree with. Unlike people such as Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham, I have never told anyone—including you, readers of The Atlantic—anything I don’t believe. What we’re seeing at Fox, however, is lying on a grand scale, done with a snide loathing for the audience and a cool indifference to the damage being done to the nation. Fox, and the Republican Party it serves, for years has relentlessly patronized its audience, cooing to viewers about how right they are not to trust anyone else, banging the desk about the corruption of American institutions, and shouting into the camera about how the liars and betrayers must pay. Fox’s stars did all of this while privately communicating with one another and rolling their eyes with contempt, admitting without a shred of shame that they were lying through their teeth. From Rupert Murdoch on down, top Fox personalities have admitted that they fed the rubes all of this red, rotting meat to keep them out of the way of the Fox limos headed to Long Island and Connecticut. You can see this same kind of contemptuous elitism in Republicans such as Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Elise Stefanik. They couldn’t care less about the voters—those hoopleheads back home who have to be placated with idiotic speeches against trans people and “critical race theory.” These politicians were bred to be leaders, you see, and having to gouge some votes out of the hayseeds back home requires a bit of performance art now and then, a small price to pay so that the sons and daughters of Harvard and Yale, Princeton and Stanford, can live in the imperial capital and rule as is their due and their right. ...
McCarthy is a tool… and it has nothing to do with what his politics are… he just sucks at this. He isn’t provocative, he isn’t charismatic, he isn’t great tactically either. He is boring, and that doesn’t work in 2023 for the GOP - they need someone that can make headlines, incite people on racial and social lines and someone that is great in sound clips. McCarthy is none of those, his anger and disdain doesn’t even come across as genuine
This probably belongs in the Fox News Dominion thread but all the text and emails coming out show the blatant disregard and disrespect that Fox News personalities, these are not journalists, have towards their viewers. How much they know what they are telling to their viewers they don’t believe is true and the politicians they are celebrating they actually despise. They do it because they profit off of it and because they believe their viewers don’t know any better and aren’t willing to look beyond their own bubble. I bring up frequently the scene in Wolf of Wall Street where Jordan Bellfort is selling a stock he knows to be crap to someone and is mocking the person even as he pumps up the stock. That is what Tucker Carlson is doing to his viewers. He’s playing to their fears and anger pumping up politicians that he loathes and narratives that he knows aren’t true.
