    The comparison is not to Carlson. It’s to black conservatives vs liberals. Lemon literally threatened to harm a female coanchor and was given “training” , and then rinse wash repeat for 15 more years. Being an AA gay liberal he was given a crazy long leash.

    you scroll over another thread and you get Clarence Thomas who is a pos being called an Uncle Tom by the same people that cry racism

    Yeah he had a diversity hierarchy cause he should have been fired a while back when he offended his female coworkers

    but he’s a gay black man, so he’s up there in victim hood tree.
    He should identify himself as a girl then he would have gotten a beer endorsement

    It also is not 5 million. 5 million is what is the estimated TV’s to be watching at that moment. This doesn’t account for social media shares, and the situations where Fox is routinely put on in the background in places like gyms, jiffy lubes, etc. I read somewhere the other day that his reach was closer to 100 million with social media.

    FoxNews as a cable tv station is in deck but as personalities sharing this brand of autocratic MAGA propaganda, their stars and their message have reach that’ll transcend modality. Your example is poignant. Tucker Carlson’s reach extended far enough to encourage the governor of Texas to pardon a cold blooded murderer.

    if you'd stop sharing his clips to social media his reach would go down.

    I don't get the point honestly.
    Is Clearance Thomas not an uncle Tom? Making up stories of your sister being the stereotypical welfare queen to a bunch of Conservative white people to make them feel good about their racism is as Uncle Tom as it gets.

    Pfffff folks could give two fks about Don lemon a fking news anchor even if he . If u don't like him don't watch his sht. Similar to how folks hate Tucker Carlson, they don't watch his sht. His job has no impact on our lifestyle if we simply don't watch him so most folks could give two shts about him. They could both b pos and folks would still go about their lives regardless.

    But a Supreme Court Justice? U hold the fking pos to a higher standard to b ethical and unbias (lol). The man is literally has one of the highest position in government and he is shown to b incompetent and in the pocket of big money.

    The man literally can force the nation with his conservative buddies to doing something we don't want to like a potentially nationwide ban on abortions. Yet we are comparing him to a fking news anchor.

    Whataboutism at its finest. Can really never take the conservatives or right leaning folks seriously with nonsense like this.

    Have you hacked my Facebook or something stalker?

    Yes I think liberal media Twitter people do engage his social media clips to offer commentary/outrage, I don’t know anyone on the left that is just regularly sharing his content with friends for the heck of it.

    Now my MAGA mom, uncle, and cousins… yeah I get clips of his all the time in our family group texts and emails. Usually those are about stuff he says regarding white Christians being persecuted which gets him a ton of vitality on the right. He knows where the fear mongering can have the most effect. Doing things like hosting a white supremacist on his show… yeah that’ll get him vitality among the media twittersphere… but his bread is buttered with the evangelical crowd and the fear mongering rants he did every night to go viral on more broad right wing media outlets like Facebook and YouTube.

    I heard he was Episcopalian, which is more christian-adjacent, than really christian.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was a closeted Satanist. He does what he does for money and power. His segments are designed to hook in the audience, and see him as their warrior of their cause. The Dominion lawsuit evidence proves every single one of them over at Fox are all full of crap, and do it for the money.

    Also I know you are trying to play stupid so I find and share a clip like the ones my MAGA family share with me so you can say "SEE". I'm not going to give you that gift. I know you know that he does this, and does it well.

    I honestly have no idea. I watched that clip from his heritage speech someone posted above, and back when I watched the news, maybe 15 years ago, he sometimes showed up on Baby Brett's panel. seemed intelligent.

    otherwise, I can say with complete truthiness, I'm unfamiliar with his schtick. seems to rile some of y'all up tho, so maybe you've seen more.

    whether or not you pay attention to him does not change the fact that he is the preeminent voice in right wing/trump/republican political discourse and that he holds influence over republican politicians.
