What we know about the investigation into Rudy Giuliani
Here's another link. Are you the only purveyor of truth in the world, or are you just scared to debate?
This “general tenor” of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not “stating actual facts” about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in “exaggeration” and “non-literal commentary.” Fox persuasively argues, see Def Br. at 13-15, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer “arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism” about the statements he makes. Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson’s statements as “exaggeration,” “non-literal commentary,” or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same—the statements are not actionable. - McDougal v. Fox News
Fox attorneys argued that anyone of reasonable intelligence should know that Tucker shouldn't be taken seriously and what he presented on his show were not facts.
I don't know where that leaves you.
Want to admit that Tucker's reporting on the reason of the raid was correct? Want to debate on the fara act, when law experts doubt the constitutionality of it?
That is not my opinion. That was the argument of counsel and a judge's opinion. But you keep believing what Tucker says is gospel.
I read a book once, authored by a famous undocumented immigrant. Great book, very insightful. "Dear America" by Jose Antonio Vargas. Mr. Vargas has been on Fox News and Tucker Carlson's show numerous times. He describes Tucker perfectly, they are "friends" kinda...
He would come on the show and before they go live Tucker Carlson would tell him things like "I really support what you are doing for the undocumented community." NEVER using the term "illegal." And without the cameras Tucker is supportive of Mr. Vargas' cause, which is ultimately to eliminate the stigma related to undocumented peoples so they can get acceptance and ultimately citizenship. Tucker has donated money to his non profit.
But as soon as the cameras are turned on.... it goes like this: "Hi this is Tucker Carlson back with Jose Antonio Vargas an ILLEGAL immigrant. Mr. Vargas, how are you not deported for ILLEGALLY being in our country?"
