Mothra,

Sorry must have mis interpreted the question. You can put pretty much all the MSNBC crew as annoying. Joy whomever is just terrible. Rev. Al ..is well Rev. Al. Rachel Maddow is unwatchable. Lawrence O'Dollald..very one sided. Cant say I like or watch any of them on MSNBC. They are all unapologeticly partisan and lefty. I view FoX and MSNBC basically the same, but on the extremes. As, far as CNN is concerned, Van Jones is bad. The balance of them I can tolerate.

---

I don't watch any of the talking heads.

They all shamelessly lie .

Real journalism died years ago.

The bill from 2018 finally came due. Bring on the lawsuits

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/30/us/tucker-carlson-gop-republican-party.html

...Days earlier, Mr. Carlson had set off an uproar, claiming on air that mass immigration made America "poor and dirtier." Blue-chip advertisers were fleeing. Within Fox, Mr. Carlson was widely viewed to have finally crossed some kind of line. Many wondered what price he might pay.


The answer became clear that night in December 2018: absolutely none.

When "Tucker Carlson Tonight" aired, Mr. Carlson doubled down, playing video of his earlier comments and citing a report from an Arizona government agency that said each illegal border crossing left up to eight pounds of litter in the desert. Afterward, on the way to the Christmas party, Mr. Carlson spoke directly with Mr. Murdoch, who praised his counterattack, according to a former Fox employee told of the exchange.
"We're good," Mr. Carlson said, grinning triumphantly, as he walked into the restaurant.

In the years since, Mr. Carlson has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news and also, by some measures, the most successful. Though he frequently declares himself an enemy of prejudice "We don't judge them by group, and we don't judge them on their race," Mr. Carlson explained to an interviewer a few weeks before accusing impoverished immigrants of making America dirty his show teaches loathing and fear. Night after night, hour by hour, Mr. Carlson warns his viewers that they inhabit a civilization under siege by violent Black Lives Matter protesters in American cities, by diseased migrants from south of the border, by refugees importing alien cultures, and by tech companies and cultural elites who will silence them, or label them racist, if they complain. When refugees from Africa, numbering in the hundreds, began crossing into Texas from Mexico during the Trump administration, he warned that the continent's high birthrates meant the new arrivals might soon "overwhelm our country and change it completely and forever." Amid nationwide outrage over George Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis police officer, Mr. Carlson dismissed those protesting the killing as "criminal mobs." Companies like Angie's List and Papa John's dropped their ads. The following month, "Tucker Carlson Tonight" became the highest-rated cable news show in history.

His encyclopedia of provocations has only expanded. Since the 2020 presidential election, Mr. Carlson has become the most visible and voluble defender of those who violently stormed the U.S. Capitol to keep Donald J. Trump in office, playing down the presence of white nationalists in the crowd and claiming the attack "barely rates as a footnote." In February, as Western pundits and politicians lined up to condemn the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, for his impending invasion of Ukraine, Mr. Carlson invited his viewers to shift focus back to the true enemy at home. "Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist?" Mr. Carlson asked. "Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?" He was roundly labeled an apologist and Putin cheerleader, only to press ahead with segments that parroted Russian talking points and promoted Kremlin propaganda about purported Ukrainian bioweapons labs.

Alchemizing media power into political influence, Mr. Carlson stands in a nativist American tradition that runs from Father Coughlin to Patrick J. Buchanan. Now Mr. Carlson's on-air technique gleefully courting blowback, then fashioning himself as his aggrieved viewers' partner in victimhood has helped position him, as much as anyone, to inherit the populist movement that grew up around Mr. Trump.

At a moment when white backlash is the jet fuel of a Republican Party striving to return to power in Washington, he has become the pre-eminent champion of Americans who feel most threatened by the rising power of Black and brown citizens. To channel their fear into ratings, Mr. Carlson has adopted the rhetorical tropes and exotic fixations of white nationalists, who have watched gleefully from the fringes of public life as he popularizes their ideas. Mr. Carlson sometimes refers to "legacy Americans," a dog-whistle term that, before he began using it on his show last fall, appeared almost exclusively in white nationalist outlets like The Daily Stormer, The New York Times found.

He takes up story lines otherwise relegated to far-right or nativist websites like VDare: "Tucker Carlson Tonight" has featured a string of segments about the gruesome murders of white farmers in South Africa, which Mr. Carlson suggested were part of a concerted campaign by that country's Black-led government. Last April, Mr. Carlson set off yet another uproar, borrowing from a racist conspiracy theory known as "the great replacement" to argue that Democrats were deliberately importing "more obedient voters from the third world" to "replace" the current electorate and keep themselves in power. But a Times analysis of 1,150 episodes of his show found that it was far from the first time Mr. Carlson had done so.

---

Russian TV lamented his demise.

---

And not without reason. As far as TV hosts, he was basically the only voice of sanity on foreign policy.

---

Agree to a point .

But his fake 'laugh' ( which he employed far too often ) made him totally unwatchable for me.

---

I didn't actually watch him either (don't have cable news). I'm just sorry for the loss of a dissenting viewpoint.

---

Totally agree with that perspective. Free speech is in real trouble .

---

he got fired because he trashed his bosses and has a sex assault lawsuit pending. He has been saying untruthful bull**** for a while now and Fox hasnt done anything.

Nothing to do with free speech. Don't screw with your boss.

---

You need to check your facts. He doesn't have a sex assault pending.

Remember you claim to be conservative on these boards.

---

strawmans are your thing.....

---

Seems you don't know what a strawman is. Having reviewed your post over the years, it's no surprise you're glib.

Google is your friend. As you will see, there are no sex assault lawsuits pending against Tucker or his crew. As for your propensity to criticize all things conservative, that's well documented.

---

My mistake, it's sexual harassment lawsuit. You are correct.

I will leave the constant freak out over liberals and bud lights with a weener to you and people of your ilk. I don't care about the left, but care more about my party (R) so that will be were my criticism will focus. And right now we have a lot of problems.
