Tucker Carlson Obsession Thread (merged)

[BowlBrother85]

Yeah I have an IQ above room temperature. You honestly believe that an Oxford educated PhD thought the Russians were going to murder Americans by turning off their heat during the winter?

I'm not familiar with that claim. Post a link to her saying that, and I will take a look at exactly what it was that she said. I don't just take the word of anyone on this forum anymore.

Do you think that a "news" company should be held responsible for probable false stories that it provides?

By consumers of news, absolutely.
By government, on behalf of private persons who can establish direct damages, yes.
By government on behalf of private corporations that can establish direct damages, yes.
By government on behalf of public figures, politicians, government contractors, and government employees re: the performance of their jobs, within limits that amount to “almost never.”

You’ve probably said things that are arguably defamatory about a politician on this forum. There have been things said in this thread that are arguably defamatory about Tucker Carlson, Rachel Maddow, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Don Jr., and others.

Now consider that public figures frivolously suing critics without repercussion is already a problem, it’s why many states and the federal government have adopted anti-SLAPP laws. How are you going to expand liability without making that worse?

Look at the absurdity of Brett Favre suing Pat McAfee if you want a mostly apolitical example. What McAfee said may well be technically untrue hyperbole, but he was criticizing Favre for being the beneficiary of misspent public funds. Don’t you think people should be allowed to discuss that and speak vehemently about it without worrying that Favre is going to name them as a defendant in his lawsuit?

Most good things have consequences. Free speech is no different.

In your opinion what would a class action lawsuit against CNN etc, look like for the false information about COVID, Vaxs, and Trump collusion. The first 2 cost lives and the last disenfranchised voters.

I think he is referring to this:

 

[Boston Vol]

She based it around a WAPO story in December 2016 claiming that Russians hackers had penetrated a Vermont based electricity grid. She went on for three days about how this was just a prelude of things to come and how Russians could murder Americans by turning off their heat during the winter.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I think he is referring to this:

Well, just from that video, she doesn't mention anyone being "murdered."

She does appear to be wildly speculating about an improbable event, but still, it's not exactly how @Boston Vol initially described it.

 

[Boston Vol]

I think he is referring to this:

Oh wow, I didn’t even know that one existed. I was talking about December 2016/January 2017.

That’s not the one that I was talking about. Once WAPO retracted their original story(shocker I know) she backed off the idea. Or at least for a couple of years anyway.

Sorry I thought that was it. My bad

For being such an intellectual person, you don't think she was great mongering for ratings??

She will discuss highly unlikely hypothetical scenarios from time to time. Is it fear-mongering? Yeah, at times that's probably fair to say. Russia is her boogeyman, similar to what China is to Fox News.

You dont think China is a real boogeyman? They make Putin look like a child.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

I think he is referring to this:

For months and years the arm waving Lesbian spewed out the Lies of the Russia collusion story, that she KNEW were lies.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I happen to think the real enemies to freedom reside here. There are hundreds of millions.

He's fairly naive. He watches Rachel Maddow of all people. A grown azz man watching Rachel freaking Maddow mumble on until she reaches left field.

 

[scooty_vol]

here's an interesting take on foxnews and tucker

what examples can you show?

 

[luthervol]

For months and years the arm waving Lesbian spewed out the Lies of the Russia collusion story, that she KNEW were lies.

Her audience numbers this week blew Tucker's away.

 

[MOOOOONEY]

Idiots.

Fact check: Clip of Biden taken out of context to portray him as plotting a voter fraud scheme

But “good people on both sides” wasn’t taken out of context?

You guys still carry the water on that one.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

The Madcow is part-time, and she will not consistently beat Hannity, unless viewers are deserting Fox because of the Tucker firing.

 

[volfanhill]

Go to the nearest mirror in your house happy. Look in it.

I'm just thrilled to see her blow Tucker away.
