So Tucker Carlson is the new Boogey Man
May 10, 2021, 8:56 AM
|

To the left?
I’m surprised they spend so much time hating on him considering the world is ending in a few years

He ought to be a boogey man to everyone...

he's intellectually dishonest and generally FOS.
The fact that people watch the likes of him, Hannity, Maddow, Hayes, etc... and think they're getting honest journalism is scary.

You Tucker haters are such tools. Your denial is beyond epic and especially fun for us conservatives to watch. It's obvious that your dislike is because he tells the truth and spills the information you won't hear from CNN, MSNBC and the faux MSM! Facts that you, of all groups, need to be exposed to. Anybody with a brain doesn't trust the rest of the MSM.
There's a reason he's the number one rated cable news show.
Here's a challenge for you dysfunctional libs: show all of us an untruth or two by Tucker and discuss why it's so.
The guy is the most intelligent voice on cable TV. He thoroughly embarrasses the MSM and their responses tell you all you need to know.

At least Tucker admits what he does is not news and he admits he is not unbiased. I don't think I've heard Maddow or Lemon say anything like this. They are all pretty much Tabloid "news" at this point, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Carlson doesn't admit he lies. He might admit he's biased...I think Maddow does too, but frankly I had to stop watching her. It was just too much. I try to watch FNC, CNN, and MSNBC in rotation a few times a week, just so I see/hear things for myself and not through reports, but Maddow is simply unwatchable now. Hannity is about the same.

I've enjoyed watching the WSJ app. Seems like pretty factual journalism. Hannity... "I'm a brown belt..." what a dork.

WSJ is center-right, pretty fact-based and pretty down the middle.
We need a lot more of that, and a whole lot less cable news.

I thought their report on the Capitol riot was really good (at least the one I saw). It was basically a timeline of events with video evidence. They didn't call anyone "patriots" or "terrorists" or the like. It was just a statement of what happened.

as in totally, 100% biased, in the tank for progressive lefitist causes and driving those narratives non-stop. Nothing but propaganda wings of the increasingly socialistic Democrat party. We need to stop pretending that there is ANY honest, unbiased news reporting anywhere. It's Fox and a handful on the right, then a shitton unquestionably way over on the left.

Can you point to some of his misleading information?
He is in fact an opinion show and not news. People like to give him gm rap about that but it’s not supposed to be a news show.

These are just recent comments, but see below. Put aside how much you dislike me and try to actually look at this objectively.
You say he's an opinion show, but many people here and across America look at him as their news. Their "truth". I mean, why do you watch him?
And even if you are giving an opinion, you still have an obligation to get factual information correct. Too many times people here have regurgitated what he says as fact.

1. I don’t want watch Tucker or Fox News. I do see some of his viral clips shared on social media 2. I don’t like how Tucker overreacts and is dramatic to certain situations. Like for fun control when he says things like “they are coming g to take all your guns” that’s not true. 3. I’ve heard you defend leftist media on the many media hoaxes during the Trump administration by saying they are opinion shows. I don’t know how this is any different. 4. Politifact is a complete joke. And they bank on stupid people believing their fact checks without reading their rationale. They often debunk themselves in their description.

1. Good to know. 2. Agreed. 3. Which specifically? I have pointed out that some items are editorials and not basis for news reporting, which is true. The problem is, I recognize that and I don't spout it off as fact like so many here do. Too many of Tucker's watchers think he's giving them factual information. 4. By all means, point out what they've gotten wrong in the link I posted.

I watch lots of different types of information. Some of it is high quality and some is not. Is factual news the only thing you watch? Is the SS gonna come get me for watching Tucker Carlson?

He's a liar. He knows he's a liar. He lies to get people riled up and get viewership.
He didn't used to be this way. Years ago, he was actually a pretty good commentator and debater. But he and Fox learned that didn't get viewers. You get viewers by twisting the truth, pandering to a demographic, and doing his little "pretend I'm confused because I'm a common man like you" act.
Anyone who watches Tucker and believes it is a fool. Who says so? Fox News themselves:
In a slander lawsuit, Fox's attorneys argued that Tucker was not "stating actual facts", that his show is "exaggeration" and "non-literal commentary". One attorney even said, "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."
They won the suit because it was ruled, yes, in fact, Tucker Carlson isn't truthful and thus can't be taken seriously as news or information.
Anyone who watches Tucker and thinks he speaks the truth is an idiot, and Fox News even says so.
EDIT: But he highlights a problem here. Many of you very angry little guys (you, NC, T3, et al) come on here shortly after watching him or the very next day and drone on and on about what he just covered the night before. It's clockwork. It proves what Tucker is meant to do: simply give out bad information in hopes of getting like-minded people riled up and angry. If you want to spread fake news, make your audience either angry or afraid.

They said anyone who believes what Tucker said is not "reasonable".
Do you believe the stuff he says? Why?
Because he... agrees with you? That's a bad way to go about compiling factual information.

To prove me wrong.
Tell me what he really is. I say he's just a con man who doesn't believe half the #### he says and knows he puts on an act to get viewers. If I'm right, he's really smart (which I think he is) and is a dishonest dude who knows how to play people.
If he's not that, then he's an idiot, too. And really sucks at research.
Either way, his people at Fox don't think he needs to be taken seriously.

He knows exactly what he's doing. He revels in it.
He knows his job is to tame the angry mob and lead it from the castle, and he has nothing but contempt for the peasants.
The sad part is, they've done very little to prove his contempt is unwarranted.

in a pod. Fox did not say "anyone who believes what Tucker says is not 'reasonable' ", nor is that waht they meant, but that's the way you are spinning it to fit your agenda, to make the point you want to make. You are taking a fact, interpreting it, and using that interpretation to support a preexisting opinion. Exactly like Tucker.

Here are a few from memory....
May 10, 2021, 9:43 AM
|
|
and I'm not going to look them up...you can do that if you want.
He claimed that the Green New Deal was responsible for the outages in Texas and that Texas was totally reliant on windmills. No mentioned (and likely no knowledge) that gas-fired and nuclear generation also shut-down as a result of the cold temps/ice.
He claimed 3000(?) people died after taking the COVID vaccine between Dec and April(?). he took data from the VAERS database without understanding it and spread it as fact that vaccines were causing death. We all know...and he dang well knew...that wasn't true.
He said John Bolton was a "man of the left" or some crap like that.
Just about any of his comments and coverage of Jan 6 is laced with bold fat lies.

Re: So Tucker Carlson is the new Boogey Man

Not just to the left.
I try really hard to be determinedly centrist - actually most political tests consider me slightly center-right-leaning because fiscally I'm a total tightwad, which tends to matter more considering most of us vote with our wallets - but I consider the guy about as dangerous as there is.
He misleads and divides, and he's a master of wedge issues. Basically, if he was getting his paycheck straight from from Russia's troll farm and his job was literally to divide us up and p!ss us off at one another, he could not be doing a better job of it. Jon Stewart said it best back in 2004 when he said: "You are literally hurting America", which actually got him cancelled for awhile...but the guy has kept right on doing it, and become the runaway #1 guy on cable TV.
HE MAKES AMERICANS PERPETUALLY ANGRY AT ONE ANOTHER AT A TIME WHEN WE NEED TO BE GETTING OUR SH!T TOGETHER. HE'S A SH!T STIRRER. It's all he does.
You don't like Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon and the CNN/MSNBC Activistanchors incessantly screeching and pointing figures and being all Woke and confused about where being an activist ends and a journalist begins? Me either. But his Faust deal-with-Devil act is getting even older, and the poison he spreads has massive and toxic real-world issues we all have to deal with, every day. It seeps into every aspect of our lives and workplaces now, has us all at one anothers' throats now.
And then he kicks back with that smug smug smile, and thinks he's got it all figured out, like he's the guy with the chalk, and the world's his chalkboard.
Because he's Tucker Swanson McNair Carlson - literally his name, blueblooded trust fund baby extraordinaire - and the rest of us are just puppets on a string to be yanked around. He doesn't respect you. He doesn't love "America". He's an elite. He's admitted that. He's just so full of contempt for you he knows it doesn't even matter. Exactly like his boss, Rupert Murdoch, his whole job is to profit off of dividing and angering off the anger of the wedge issues of the peasants. HE HAS ADMITTED THIS...and it doesn't even matter, because it keeps right on working, because his audience keeps right on letting him do it.

Until the masses understand this and change the system....we are stuck. It may reach a point where the only way it can change is 1. if aliens come or 2. there's a major event that kills off 90% of the planet.
Cause Jesus ain't coming back....he's just being used to hold the masses in their place.

So many of them, in fact, will scream up and down about how the media is divisive and trying to split America, then they'll turn on Tucker, let the stupid drool trickle down their chin, and then rush to P&R to regurgitate what he said.
A person has reached the pinnacle of stupidity if they think this man is here to bring us truth and justice and isn't just a con man spreading false information and outrage to get ratings and line his own pockets.
Yet those were the same fools who donated money to Trump, so there you go.

Nah we have known about him since the early nineties. And honestly, what is your obsession with wealthy elitists pretending to be journalists? Just cause he sews patches on his tweed blazer and has the puppy dog hairdo, doesn't make him one. If you can't tell the guy is a phoney, its cause you dumb.
