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

...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.....

Ridiculous

You leftists have been demanding his termination for years .

And you got it....enjoy your victory.

But don't you find it odd there is almost no serious public debate about our involvement in Ukraine ?

No discussion about the millions of illegals pouring into the country ?

No investigations on how the politicians in BOTH parties become multi millionaires while in DC while on paltry federal salaries ?

Free speech has become restricted to only one point of view .

And that's extremely dangerous .




you folks on the extreme MAGA far right need to understand quickly that there are quite a few of us Republicans that are sick of the t***P crap and idiots like MTG, Tuckums, etc. and are tired of you jackasses bringing down the party.
Well you extreme Bidophile democrats need understand quickly that there are quite a few of us democrats that are sick of the Biden crap and idiots like AOC, Don Lemon etc and are tired of you jackasses bringing down the party .
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

What are some examples of the "untruthful bull****"? Also, I dont think he has any sex assault lawsuits pending. I know that Grossberg woman filed a lawsuit against him but I think it turns out that she has never even met Tucker bc she worked in NYC and he is in Fla. Her lawsuit just seems like a typical sour grapes money grab attempt. Ive never really watched the fox broadcast of Tucker but I have regularly watched his opening monolgues on youtube and he is quite spot on most all of the time.
there is a lot, feel free to google it. Mostly related to election lies, etc.
Since there is a lot you should have no problem posting some examples.
It is never a good idea to call your boss and the head of FOX News a C word in a text. Black and white. Nobody survives that. How stupid of that clown. Moreover , he would go on TV nightly and blow smoke up Trumpy's skirt and go after Trump stating what a POS he is and that he hated him. That is in black and white too.
He didnt call his boss the C word. You're confusing the facts. That minion woman that booked guests on the show said she overheard some other minions use the c word and they said anti semitic things which is basically a catch all term for anything. In this instance someone called her a grinch during the Christmas season and shes Jewish so grinch is automatically anti semitic.

He was really let go bc he was calling out big pharma, talking about NWO, saying we are castrating our children with this trans crap etc. There's a clip of the speech from over the weekend. I think Rupert has been wanting to let him go for awhile bc Tucker gave up a lot of money for creative control and they didnt like what he had to say. I think he will come out with his own media channel this fall just in time for the election stuff to start heating up. He will have people on there like RFK jr, Tulsi, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones etc so that people can hear differing points of view that call out the regime narratives.
Yeah, he did. You didn't address him being dishonest about Trump to his viewers. "I hate him passionately " That found is discovery also.

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.....
Does Tucker have a sexual assault case pending or not ? If so I have never read of it .

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.

What are some examples of the "untruthful bull****"? Also, I dont think he has any sex assault lawsuits pending. I know that Grossberg woman filed a lawsuit against him but I think it turns out that she has never even met Tucker bc she worked in NYC and he is in Fla. Her lawsuit just seems like a typical sour grapes money grab attempt. Ive never really watched the fox broadcast of Tucker but I have regularly watched his opening monolgues on youtube and he is quite spot on most all of the time.
there is a lot, feel free to google it. Mostly related to election lies, etc.
Since there is a lot you should have no problem posting some examples.
It is never a good idea to call your boss and the head of FOX News a C word in a text. Black and white. Nobody survives that. How stupid of that clown. Moreover , he would go on TV nightly and blow smoke up Trumpy's skirt and go after Trump stating what a POS he is and that he hated him. That is in black and white too.
He didnt call his boss the C word. You're confusing the facts. That minion woman that booked guests on the show said she overheard some other minions use the c word and they said anti semitic things which is basically a catch all term for anything. In this instance someone called her a grinch during the Christmas season and shes Jewish so grinch is automatically anti semitic.

He was really let go bc he was calling out big pharma, talking about NWO, saying we are castrating our children with this trans crap etc. There's a clip of the speech from over the weekend. I think Rupert has been wanting to let him go for awhile bc Tucker gave up a lot of money for creative control and they didnt like what he had to say. I think he will come out with his own media channel this fall just in time for the election stuff to start heating up. He will have people on there like RFK jr, Tulsi, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones etc so that people can hear differing points of view that call out the regime narratives.
Yeah, he did. You didn't address him being dishonest about Trump to his viewers. "I hate him passionately " That found is discovery also.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-proud-c-word-texts-fox-news-boss_n_64498960e4b0408f3e572d3b
"Carlson, who has a record of embracing racism, homophobia, xenophobia and misogyny on and off the air, reportedly wanted his words to be on the record to express his deep and enduring disdain for his higher-up."

Wow, I didnt know all of that. That makes me have way more respect for Tucker now that I know he is pretty Based. I used to think his schtick was all an act but he may actually be pretty cool, thanks for letting me know.

I assume you're just as happy about Don Lemon being fired, since you're "conservative" and all, or like your feelings about Trump, is your ire reserved only for Republican talking heads?
Don't like Mr. Lemmon or the rest of that crew (don't watch). Don't like anyone on Fox either, particularly Hannity. The only decent host on Fox is on Fox Business..Neil Cavuto. He is really good. Maria (money honey) done lost her mind!

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.

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.

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.

What are some examples of the "untruthful bull****"? Also, I dont think he has any sex assault lawsuits pending. I know that Grossberg woman filed a lawsuit against him but I think it turns out that she has never even met Tucker bc she worked in NYC and he is in Fla. Her lawsuit just seems like a typical sour grapes money grab attempt. Ive never really watched the fox broadcast of Tucker but I have regularly watched his opening monolgues on youtube and he is quite spot on most all of the time.
there is a lot, feel free to google it. Mostly related to election lies, etc.
Since there is a lot you should have no problem posting some examples.
It is never a good idea to call your boss and the head of FOX News a C word in a text. Black and white. Nobody survives that. How stupid of that clown. Moreover , he would go on TV nightly and blow smoke up Trumpy's skirt and go after Trump stating what a POS he is and that he hated him. That is in black and white too.


I assume you're just as happy about Don Lemon being fired, since you're "conservative" and all, or like your feelings about Trump, is your ire reserved only for Republican talking heads?
Don't like Mr. Lemmon or the rest of that crew (don't watch). Don't like anyone on Fox either, particularly Hannity. The only decent host on Fox is on Fox Business..Neil Cavuto. He is really good. Maria (money honey) done lost her mind!


What other CNN and MSNBC hosts do you dislike and why?
Legit question. Hannity-partison bomb thrower, Laura Ingram - same, Greg Gutfeld- just a putz, Janine Peiro - very evident, Jesse Watters - smug, ..that is about the ones I know from fox. 2)MSNBC - Don't watch it at all. Do have on CNBC on in the office every day.

I don't watch Fox, but every once in a while watch Gutfelds comedy routine with his panel. Ok maybe it makes me shallow, but I thinks it's funny and really like Kat Timph. Yes Gutfeld is a putz. Most comedians are. Even Bill Mauer is worth watching now and then. Are they good, not really, but they have entertainement value.

nah, you can google. you could've already found it by now. you can do it!
It wasn't a request for information. It was to see if you knew what you were talking about.
We have our answer.
actually it was. but great input, very insightful and useful. please, post more.
Actually, it was a call out. And my post was nowhere near as insightful and useful as your vapid "Google it" response.

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.


Wrong again. It's not sexual harassment either. Google…

I'd suggest start focusing on the enemy instead of eating your own. In case you haven't noticed, things are a lot worse for conservatives now than when they were under trump.

If you really are a conservative - which gotta say I have serious doubts - I'd suggest your priorities are severely misplaced.

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

...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.

What are some examples of the "untruthful bull****"? Also, I dont think he has any sex assault lawsuits pending. I know that Grossberg woman filed a lawsuit against him but I think it turns out that she has never even met Tucker bc she worked in NYC and he is in Fla. Her lawsuit just seems like a typical sour grapes money grab attempt. Ive never really watched the fox broadcast of Tucker but I have regularly watched his opening monolgues on youtube and he is quite spot on most all of the time.
there is a lot, feel free to google it. Mostly related to election lies, etc.
Since there is a lot you should have no problem posting some examples.
It is never a good idea to call your boss and the head of FOX News a C word in a text. Black and white. Nobody survives that. How stupid of that clown. Moreover , he would go on TV nightly and blow smoke up Trumpy's skirt and go after Trump stating what a POS he is and that he hated him. That is in black and white too.


I assume you're just as happy about Don Lemon being fired, since you're "conservative" and all, or like your feelings about Trump, is your ire reserved only for Republican talking heads?
Don't like Mr. Lemmon or the rest of that crew (don't watch). Don't like anyone on Fox either, particularly Hannity. The only decent host on Fox is on Fox Business..Neil Cavuto. He is really good. Maria (money honey) done lost her mind!


What other CNN and MSNBC hosts do you dislike and why?
Legit question. Hannity-partison bomb thrower, Laura Ingram - same, Greg Gutfeld- just a putz, Janine Peiro - very evident, Jesse Watters - smug, ..that is about the ones I know from fox. 2)MSNBC - Don't watch it at all. Do have on CNBC on in the office every day.


So you have no liberal talk show hosts that irk you? It's only the conservative ones?

I'd suggest that's very telling.

Wrong again. It's not sexual harassment either. Google…

I'd suggest start focusing on the enemy instead of eating your own. In case you haven't noticed, things are a lot worse for conservatives now than when they were under trump.

If you really are a conservative - which gotta say I have serious doubts - I'd suggest your priorities are severely misplaced.



No bud you need to google.

I honestly don't think you are conservative at all. It's actually become quite obvious.


It was your point therefore it is your burden.

Either sack up or admit defeat. Your bs has gone on long enough.


Oh shut up and go number 3 to MTG videos.

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.
What are some examples of the "untruthful bull****"? Also, I dont think he has any sex assault lawsuits pending. I know that Grossberg woman filed a lawsuit against him but I think it turns out that she has never even met Tucker bc she worked in NYC and he is in Fla. Her lawsuit just seems like a typical sour grapes money grab attempt. Ive never really watched the fox broadcast of Tucker but I have regularly watched his opening monolgues on youtube and he is quite spot on most all of the time.
there is a lot, feel free to google it. Mostly related to election lies, etc.
typical leftist behavior--ask for an example and doesn't give one or paints in broad strokes. "Election lies" as in what exactly? Give some specifics for once.

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.
but allegations have been made, so the situation is very, very serious. one is guilty until proven innocent in the post-modern world.

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.

Rod Dreher:


I know at least some of y'all must be wo' slap out from my focus on Tucker Carlson this week, but I really do think this is a moment of serious symbolic importance even if you are no fan of Carlson's. Let me explain.
First, have a look at the 2 min, 15 sec video message Tucker put out on Twitter a day or so ago. In just over 24 hours, as I write this, it has been viewed by over 21 million people. As usual these days, Twitter won't let me embed in Substack, but if you follow the link, you can see it. In it, Tucker doesn't mention Fox, but he points out that the Cathedral includes both progressives and conservatives. That is to say, the commoners may strongly disagree, but the elites are more united than people think. Here's Mollie Hemingway trying to enlighten:


https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf19e222-0479-4af2-91fe-2588aae1ebc0_1224x588.png?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Here's a piece from The Hill explaining why some DC Republicans are happy to see Carlson go. Excerpt:
Quote:

Carlson was one of the most prominent critics of U.S. involvement to defend Kyiv against Moscow's invasion.
"It's a bad day for Vladimir Putin," a Senate Republican aide said. "This takes one of the biggest critics of Ukraine war in Republican and conservative circles off the table."
The aide noted that some GOP senators were also uncomfortable with what they viewed as Carlson's over-the-top rhetoric opposing vaccine mandates, which divided conservatives during the pandemic.
When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) declared that the war in Ukraine was a "territorial dispute" and not a vital national interest a statement that many Republicans later criticized he did so in response to a query from Carlson.
He "divided conservatives during the pandemic." No judgment passed on whether or not what Carlson said was true and useful. The aide is complaining that Tucker was divisive meaning, didn't go along with the playbook. More:
Quote:

One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on a media figure who had a loyal following among many right-leaning voters, said Carlson's departure from prime time would be a positive development for maintaining public support for the war.
"He wasn't troubled by whether something was true or not. He was mean, irresponsible and dangerous," the lawmaker said.
Can you believe that? Despite what we know about how the US Government has dissimulated to keep support for the war high, this GOP Senator damns Carlson for allegedly lying to smear the war effort. The senator is thrilled that the lone major-media voice questioning the war has now been silenced.

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.


Got it. Thanks.

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.


Wrong again. It's not sexual harassment either. Google…

I'd suggest start focusing on the enemy instead of eating your own. In case you haven't noticed, things are a lot worse for conservatives now than when they were under trump.

If you really are a conservative - which gotta say I have serious doubts - I'd suggest your priorities are severely misplaced.



No bud you need to google.

I honestly don't think you are conservative at all. It's actually become quite obvious.


Did your work for you. Took all of 20 seconds.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/24/business/media/tucker-carlson-abby-grossberg-lawsuit.html

It's called a hostile work environment claim . It's not sexual harassment by any stretch and certainly not sexual assault.

Honestly if you're too glib to know the difference, I'm not sure I care much what you think. It's seems you're simply inclined to believe conservative bad.

You're no conservative and you add nothing cogent or insightful. Best to be honest with yourself and the board.
wow, you really don't know anything. i kind of always knew that though but you are so easily triggered it's kind of fun to engage with your nonsense from time to time.


About the retort I suspected. Nothing of substance.

Have a nice day little guy.
