Tucker Carlson Obsession Thread (merged)

[DinkinFlicka]

The TCT show was the best program on all TV.
Both informative and entertaining.
With the direction this country is going, I am
surprised he lasted as long as he did.

Okay there, Eddie.

Cable news. In cable news. The only 25-54 year olds watching cable news at 8pm every night are extremists.

So all viewers of cable news at 8:00pm in that demo are extremists? And there are far more conservative extremists in that group than liberal extremists?

Fox's lost value in the stock market overnight after firing Carlson was a bit more dollars than the settlement. Double whammy.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Rachel Maddow supports her opinions and constructs better arguments than anyone else on cable news. Her monologues will often begin with a historical reference comparable to a modern event which she builds her argument around. It's a very effective way to make a point. She is an intellectual. Fox News only employs emotionally charged Republican Party sycophants.

Rachel Maddow is a looney! Logic and facts no more enter her "arguments" than she travels to Jupiter twice a week.

She may be "intellectual," but the average colony of pissants have more common sense and it is not even close.

Did Maddow ever do a retraction to her segment on how getting the vaccine stops the Covid virus from spreading. Seems she was promoting pharmaceutical companies for profits and health data that wasn’t proven at the expense of her viewers.

COVID vaccine: Dr. Walensky comments walked back by CDC | kgw.com

That claim was made on Rachel Maddow's show in April of 2021, by the CDC Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky. The CDC issued a correction later, and Rachel Maddow did mention the correction on her show. Yes, it was misinformation, but it wasn't something that Rachel Maddow just made up on her own out of thin air. She did correct the record following the CDC's reversal of Dr. Walensky's claim.

Obviously, I disagree with your take ... and since you aren't doing anything but hurling insults, there isn't much else to say.

Maddow herself said it as well. You can go back and watch the clip of her smugly saying how it’s “common sense” , get the vaccine and then Covid can’t and won’t spread. She spread 100% bullsh**.

She did ... but she was working from what the CDC Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, had told her while she was a guest on her show. Once the CDC issued a statement which walked back that claim by Dr. Walensky, Rachel Maddow corrected the record.

I didn’t ask about CDC. She didn’t publicly retract her comments is the answer. Not comment on the correction by the CDC but that she publicly misinformed her audience as a conduit of honest information. Therefore she lied, as she has done many times over.

Did Biden or Fauci himself ever walk back their erroneous claims about the shot? It’s not a vaccine so stop calling it that.

Good grief.

It was not Rachel Maddow's assessment. Maddow was just quoting what the Director of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, had directly told her, while she was a guest on Maddow's show.

That is not a lie.

A lie involves an intent to deceive. Maddow was given misinformation from someone that she considered trustworthy on the topic at hand. Once a correction was made, Maddow corrected the record on her show.

So did Biden and Fauci. They all came out and said if you get the COVID shot, you won’t get it. They all lied.

So pass the blame? Isn’t it her job and her staffs job to make sure the information is accurate. So again, you can’t show me where she publicly apologized for a segment of false/misleading information. Didn’t she deceive her viewers that night who the next day got vaccinated based on the information Maddow relayed to her viewers?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

That would be outstanding.

Or Greg Gutfeld.

Gutfeld would take the show in a different direction which would be the smarter move. I don't think Watters is all that innovative, and on The Five I get sick of hearing about his family. He has his moments though. His man on the street stuff is reminiscent of Leno and is always good for a laugh.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

So did Biden and Fauci. They all came out and said if you get the COVID shot, you won’t get it. They all lied.

Yeah but you were questioning the science. And science doesn't want to be questioned because it is settled.

Oh did I forget to mention that Fauci said HE was science?

That’s accurate. Brix with a guilty conscience stated as much after the fact.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Good for the nation. Maybe we can stop closing the gap Trumpism intentionally created.

We will when people like you wake up.

Dominion settlement likely to cost Fox News far less than $787 million

$4B in cash

It wasn't Maddow's determination that vaccinated people couldn't still get COVID, and get sick.

It was reasonable to trust the professional assessment of the CDC Director.

Why should Maddow apologize for someone else's mistake? She had an obligation to correct the record, after the CDC issued a statement which contradicted Dr. Walensky's claim .... and she did.

You are being a little silly here.

There are no intellectuals on TV news. Not even close. Intellectuals are masters of their fields of study and usually demonstate mastery in several fields of study. Think Noam Chomsky, Timothy Snyder, Sean McMeekin, etc. TV news is the opposite of intellectualism.

You ever interact with a person who is glued to Fox News? They live in an alternate reality.

She read it, it’s misleading data and she’s the face of the network with her name on the show that audiences chose to see. Much like Tucker reading a teleprompter nightly, she does the same…can’t pick and choose. But again, she didn’t publicly apologize or you would have provided that, instead she misled her audience to get vaccinated. Hope none of them died or had loved ones die believing they were not going to get the virus based on her segment.
