One wonders if Speaker McCarthy will ask Tucker to return the J6 tapes to the American people before he signs on as an RT anchor?
 

 

It's crazy, right?  The most popular host on the most widely-consumed American news media was - for YEARS -  a mouthpiece for America's geopolitical enemy.  

But a third of Americans will either never get that fact delivered into their bubble.  Or if they do, it will be "both sides!" in the same way that they get all their fucking news... just pulling a random hypothetical example here, but say maybe the wife of a Supreme Court justice takes an active role in overthrowing American democracy while her husband flat-out lies on his financial disclosures, fails to disclose some shady real estate deals, and does this while claiming decades of 5- and 6- figure yearly incomes from a corporation that doesn't really exist.  BOTH SIDES!

And yes, absolute power and monarchy is the end of democracy. The first link lays out their goals, in Yarvin’s own words.

My point still stands.  Although she did not say anyone would be paying her mortgage or anything of that nature, she said it would be easier, and I bet she was wrong.

Like a lot of underclass Trump voters thought he'd bring jobs back.  But they got a lot of hate jollies instead.

And, I'll take foolish optimism over cultivated hatred 100/100.

Quote

But according to people familiar with their conversation and Murdoch’s thinking, the 92-year-old billionaire founder of Fox News had grown weary of some of Carlson’s increasingly far-right commentary on his nightly prime-time show — as well as some of the swaggering host’s behind-the-scenes attitude.
 

At that particular moment, he was disturbed by Carlson’s stance on Ukraine. A graphic on Carlson’s show had referred to Volodymyr Zelensky, president of the besieged nation, as a “Ukrainian pimp,” and the host had repeatedly excoriated the U.S. government for providing aid to its defense against Russian attacks.
 

These stances had made Carlson a star on Russian state-controlled TV. But they had drawn furious blowback from powerful Republicans who see U.S. support for Ukraine as a bulwark in a fight for freedom and democracy — some of whom had Murdoch’s ear. After one such on-air segment in mid-March, Murdoch joined a Fox newsroom meeting to loudly challenge Carlson’s message, according to people familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of newsroom confidentiality policies.

Quote

Tucker Carlson has been fired, and you’ve probably already read a bushel of stories about his dismissal, his career, and his influence. Today, I want to share with you a more personal reflection. (Full disclosure: Carlson took a bizarre swipe at me toward the end of his time at Fox.) I always thought of Carlson as one of the worst things to happen to millions of Americans, and particularly to the working class. As Margaret Sullivan recently wrote, “Despite his smarmy demeanor, and aging prep-school appearance,” Carlson became “a twisted kind of working-class hero.”

 

Quote

Not to me. I grew up working-class, and I admit that I never much cared for Carlson, a son of remarkable privilege and wealth, even before he became this creepy version of himself. I am about a decade older than Carlson, and when he began his career in the 1990s, I was a young academic and a Republican who’d worked in a city hall, a state legislature, and the U.S. Senate (as well as a number of other less glamorous jobs). Perhaps I should have liked him more because of his obvious desire to be taken seriously as an intellectual, but maybe that was also the problem: Carlson was too obvious, too effortful. I was already a fan of people such as George Will and Charles Krauthammer, and I didn’t need a young, bow-tied, lightweight imitator.

 

Quote

But still, I read his writing in conservative magazines, and that of others in his cohort. After all, back in those days, they were my tribe. But the early ’90s, I believe, is where things went wrong for this generation of young conservatives. Privileged, highly educated, stung by Bill Clinton’s win—and, soon, bored—they decided that they were all slated for greater things in public life. The dull slog of high-paying professional jobs was not for them, not if it meant living outside the media or political ecosystems of New York and Washington.

 

Spoiler

A 1995 New York Times Magazine profile of this group, some of them soon to be Carlson’s co-workers, was full of red flags, but it was Laura Ingraham, whose show now packages hot bile in dry ice, who presaged what Fox’s prime-time lineup would look like. After a late dinner party in Washington, she took the Times writer for a drive:

“You think we’re nuts, don’t you?” muttered Laura Ingraham, a former clerk for Clarence Thomas and now an attorney at the Washington offices of the power firm of Skadden, Arps. Ingraham, who is also a frequent guest on CNN, had had it with a particularly long-winded argument over some review in The New Republic. It could have been worse. They could have been the dweebs and nerds that liberals imagine young conservatives to be.

Or, more accurately, they could have been the dweebs and nerds they themselves feared they were. And in time, they realized that the way to dump their day jobs for better gigs in radio and television was to become more and more extreme—and to sell their act to an audience that was nothing like them or the people at D.C. dinner parties. They would have their due, even if they had to poison the brains of ordinary Americans to get it.

Carlson joined this attention-seeking conservative generation and tried on various personas. At one point, he had a show on MSNBC that was canceled after a year. I never saw it. I do remember Carlson as the co-host of Crossfire; I didn’t think he did a very good job representing thoughtful conservatives, and he ended up getting pantsed live on national television by Jon Stewart. He was soon let go from CNN.

When Carlson got his own show on Fox News in 2016, however, I noticed.

This new Tucker Carlson decided to throw off the pretense of intellectualism. (According to The New York Times, he was “determined to avoid his fate at CNN and MSNBC.”) He understood what Fox viewers wanted, and he took the old Tucker—the one who claimed to care about truth and journalistic responsibility—and drove him to a farm upstate where he could run free with the other journalists. The guy who returned alone in his car to the studio in Manhattan was a stone-cold, cynical demagogue. By God, no one was going to fire that guy.

What concerned me was not that Carlson was selling political fentanyl; that’s Fox’s business model. It was that Carlson, unlike many people in his audience, knew better. He jammed the needle right into the arms of the Fox audience, spewing populist nonsense while running away from his own hyper-privileged background. I suppose I found this especially grating because for years I’ve lived in Rhode Island, almost within sight of the spires of Carlson’s pricey prep school, by the Newport beaches. (This area also produced Michael Flynn and Sean Spicer, but please don’t judge us—it’s actually lovely here.)

Every night, Carlson encouraged American citizens to join him in his angry nihilism, telling his fans that America and its institutions were hopelessly corrupt, and that they were essentially living in a failed state. He and his fellow Fox hosts, meanwhile, presented themselves as the guardians of the real America, crowing in ostensible solidarity with an audience that, as we would later learn from the Dominion lawsuit, they regarded with both contempt and fear.

An especially hateful aspect of Carlson’s rants is that they often targeted the institutions and norms—colleges, the U.S. military, capitalism itself—that help so many Americans get a chance at a better life. No matter the issue, Carlson was able to find some resentful, angry, us-versus-them angle, tacking effortlessly from sounding like a pompous theocrat one day to a founding member of Code Pink the next. If you were trying to undermine a nation and dissolve its hopes for the future, you could hardly design a better vehicle than Tucker Carlson Tonight.

But give him credit: He was committed to the bit. A man who has never known a day of hard work in his life was soon posing in flannel and work pants in a remarkably pristine “workshop,” and inviting some of the worst people in American life to come to his redoubt to complain about how much America seems to irrationally hate Vladimir Putin, violent seditionists, and, by extension somehow, poor ordinary Joes such as Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson.

Carlson is emblematic of the entire conservative movement now, and especially the media millionaires who serve as its chief propagandists. The conservative world has become a kind of needle skyscraper with a tiny number of wealthy, superbly educated right-wing media and political elites in the penthouses, looking down at an expanse of angry Americans whose rage they themselves helped create. As one Fox staffer said in a text to the former CNN host Brian Stelter shortly after the January 6 insurrection, “What have we done?”

If only Carlson and others were capable of asking themselves the same question

Tucker actually said this in his 2.5 minute Twitter message tonight:

“When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who have been trying to silence them shrink. They become weaker.”

Not really. If Pryor really did kill and steal, then yeah, that might fit. But Tucker really does lie. All the time. He didn’t get caught not knowing how to answer a question. He’s a paid public speaker. He was underselling his answer but telling more truth than he probably intended.

Here’s Pryor’s quote in response to why he was wearing a tribute to Michael Vick on his eyeblack:

I'm convinced they at least partially if not fully believe the lies. You can convince your brain something is true just by saying it enough.

Man, I used to listen to that twat, back in the 80s. Back then, it was all a joke; his gig was to troll the left, but it was done with a wink and a grin at the audience who were in on the joke.

At some point, he joined Fox, and appeared to get high on his own supply; seemed like he was starting to believe the inane bullshit he used to say as a joke. Dunno if that was the substance abuse or just ego... or maybe came with Murdoch hiring him, or just being surrounded by people who actually believed what he was saying.

I'm convinced they at least partially if not fully believe the lies. You can convince your brain something is true just by saying it enough.

Man, I used to listen to that twat, back in the 80s. Back then, it was all a joke; his gig was to troll the left, but it was done with a wink and a grin at the audience who were in on the joke.
At some point, he joined Fox, and appeared to get high on his own supply; seemed like he was starting to believe the inane bullshit he used to say as a joke. Dunno if that was the substance abuse or just ego... or maybe came with Murdoch hiring him, or just being surrounded by people who actually believed what he was saying.
Or, maybe I just grew up.

My dad listened to Rush back in the 80s. It was funny at times in the late 80s. By the early 90s it had turned dark and Rush drug (wink) my dad with him down a dark, cynical and racist road. It was frustrating to watch. By High School my forbid my father and I from talking politics after my dad threw a Limbaugh at me in anger. He missed but broke some shit.
