Tucker Carlson is a bald-faced liar above all else. That
fact is seen and heard in his own words in the first 2 minutes of this
17-minute video from his perch at FOX on April 28 posted below.
Let’s be honest: Words matter and his first 2 minutes are
full of lies, deceit, and yes loaded with SOP rightwing mis- and disinformation
right off the bat about “facts” (Carlson’s words of intent) of President Joe
Biden the daily target for most of hosts at FOX spewing from the same
teleprompter notes of the day.
Watch and listen for yourself.
Further note about this idiot – a word I seldom use, but Carlson is by any definition – an idiot.
This interesting extract from a
very good Mother Jones rundown here with this March 13 article headline
seems to point out that premise:
“Leaked Kremlin Memo to
Russian Media: It is Essential to Feature Tucker Carlson”
The Russian
government has pressed outlets to highlight the Fox host’s Putin-helping
broadcasts.
Prior to the Russian invasion, Carlson was perhaps the most prominent American voice challenging opposition to Putin. In one now-infamous commentary, he said: “Why do Democrats want you to hate Putin? Has Putin shipped every middle class job in your town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked your business? Is he teaching your kids to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Does he eat dogs?”
Carlson
noted there was no reason for the United States to assist Ukraine against
Russia and insisted it was “not treason, it is not un-American” to support
Putin.
Carlson
also contended that Ukraine was
not “a democracy but a client state of the U.S. government.”
After
Putin attacked Ukraine, Carlson ceased his anti-anti-Putin rhetoric
and shifted to a new line: That the United States and the West
purposefully goaded Putin into launching the war. Carlson said it was “obvious
that getting Ukraine to join NATO was the key to inciting war with Russia.”
He asked: “Why in
the world would the United States intentionally seek war with Russia? How could
we possibly benefit from that war?”
He went on to say he did not know.
More recently, Carlson mouthed Russian disinformation, and
he did so as a new set of Kremlin talking points once again pushed Russian
journalists to cite the Fox host.
My 2 Cents: What is
pathetic about Carlson is not that he just is pathetic, but that so many in the
GOP bow to and worship him with such daily high praise. I hear it daily on our
local conservative AM radio as I’m sure many do also too in their areas.
The Trump and FOX fans ploy
is simple: Trust and believe only those like Carlson whom they like and favor
and be damned about the truth, facts, or accuracy in reporting factually.
This is why now that Carlson, FOX, and nearly the entire radical GOP rightwing is going bananas: The Disinformation Governance Board is now part of DHS just announced on April 27, 2022 during a 2023 budget hearing before the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
Its aim is protecting national security by combatting misinformation and disinformation.
Fox falls short in the factual information department on a daily and quite frankly on every broadcast, too.
All the while they blame the “left and all MSM networks for their reporting.” That is the most damaging of all to our national sanity – and Carlson now leads that disinformation pack.
Ergo: Carlson is in a word a dumbass liar.
If Fox had any guts, or pride, or honor, or dignity, they would remove him from the airwaves, but they won’t due to his rating and the big bucks he brings into FOX. That is the most pathetic of all.
Thanks for stopping by.
