He is now a social media brand ambassador for himself, for his own account, and for a third party account as well, which belongs to the multinational corporation Tucker Carlson Twitter Show, Inc., which is in the process of being rebranded as Tucker Carlson X Show, Inc., and he also does brand negotiation deals for that account as well.  

Staffers beg Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson — but there's a 'dirty little  secret' that makes him 'untouchable' - Alternet.org

Some asshole had Fox on two tvs at my gym today.
I glanced at the Chryon a few times. Covering important news of the day as always: Hunter Biden, Migrant crossing footage, and Chicago Crime. The classics. How anyone can watch this shit is beyond me. How anyone can turn two TVs to Fox and not feel foolish or like an idiot blows my mind.

That migrant caravan is at it again!  Weird how this story runs like twice a year and yet nothing ever comes of it.

I don’t think Fox News holds its audience in such high esteem to think they need to produce real footage of migrant caravans.   I’m pretty sure they just play clips of Three Amigos when they run those segments.  

Sew, very old one. Sew like the wind!

Fox is on at the gym (not bragging). The day after our last president was indicted for the fourth time, bringing his total number of felony counts to 91, they’re talking about……. Hunter Biden.

Or how they don't want women around...

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/15/media/greg-gutfeld-sexist-rant-fox-news/index.html

Quote

One of Fox News’ top hosts said that many of the world’s problems would be solved if women were to vanish from the planet.

Greg Gutfeld, the right-wing channel’s resident jester who was recently promoted to host his own prime time hour, made a series of brazenly sexist comments on Monday’s edition of “The Five” during a discussion on looting.

Quote

As surveillance video played showing a smash-and-grab that occurred over the weekend at a Los Angeles Nordstrom, Gutfeld went on a rant portraying women as soft on crime and effectively blaming the entire gender for supposed policies that would prevent such crimes from being committed.

“What would happen if all the women took a ladies week off and they went to Venus … How many of these problems would still exist?” Gutfeld wondered aloud. Gutfeld, who allowed for the possibility that new problems would emerge in the absence of women, confidently argued that “smash and grabs” and “rampant recidivism” would “disappear.”

Gutfeld is not a fan of women.  Interesting.

When you look like that man, posses the intellect of that man, and are named 'Gutfeld,; there's really nothing stopping you in this world.

A true all around catch.

No wonder he can be so choosy / neg the ladies so hard.

It's endless.  Renewable energy caused the deadliest fire in U.S. history, per Laura Ingraham.  As if 1) the power lines that fell and caught the non-native grasses on fire were somehow powered only by renewable energy   and 2) there haven't been deadlier fires (the Peshtigo fire, the Thumb fire, the Great Hinckley fire etc... and others were deadlier)

Not to be outdone, Charlie Kirk attributes the Maui fires to "pagan Hawaiian culture."

That would have been a dumbass thing to say even if the electricity was generated exclusively using renewable energy.

Is that fucking bird clip real?  That was on their flagship news channel?  That's not just some webshow deal on a big screen that only like 17 people watched?

It’s why the Hunter Biden “scandal” exists.

I think it was a border joke

It was a border joke followed by an age joke.  The equivalent to CNN saying the storm wouldn't have been bad if Trump built the wall. Just not funny.

Yeah that's what I meant. It seemed like a joke, but wasn't told like one, and no one laughed. 

Also it's news about a monster storm so why are you cracking jokes.

Anger's Allure: Are You Addicted to Anger?

Reasons why anger can be a hard habit to break.

Posted August 25, 2015  Reviewed by Jessica Schrader

Anger is a public epidemic in America; it is involved in everything from media controversy to road rage to wars to mass shootings. But aside from the larger toxic scale of this basic human emotion and its connection to violence, anger affects us in our day-to-day personal lives as well, on an intimate scale. Everything from workplace frustration to family discord can erupt and contribute to overall stress, anxiety, and depression.

Given how destructive and painful anger can be, why are we all awash in its wake? Why do we continue to bask in rage despite all the dangerous consequences: legal, social, financial, physical, medical ramifications, and more?

1. Human neurobiology rewards anger.

Part of the issue is that in the moment, anger feels good; it feels like the thing to do. It overrides all other moral and rational brakes in the brain because it originates from our primordial, original limbic system: the brain center of our most automatic emotions like fear and desire. The limbic system has the most direct links to our fight-or-flight response system, and that includes control over adrenaline rushes, alertness, and other instincts that prime you for battle or rapid escape.

2. Anger is similar to other addictions.

What happens is that anger can lead to similar “rushes” as thrill-seekingactivities where danger triggers dopamine reward receptors in the brain, or like other forms of addiction such as gambling, extreme sports, or even drugs like cocaine and methamphetamines. Anger can become its own reward, but like other addictions, the final consequences are dangerous and real, and people follow impulses in the moment without regard to the big picture.

3. Anger boosts ego fragility.

There is also the psychological aspect of ego fragility and injury, often seen in narcissistic personalities; the rush behind anger can be triggered by underlying feelings of weakness or insecurity, a way to feel powerful in the moment and overcome those feelings. It also helps people feel briefly in control of things they typically have no control over. Unfortunately, the aftermath reinforces negative consequences that hurt you in the eyes of others, and continues the cycle of insecurity. It becomes a vicious cycle of tantrums and punishment that ultimately hurt the angry individual.

4. Anger may be familiar/comfortable and also a method of emotional avoidance.

Unfortunately for some people who are raised in continuously chaotic environments, the uncertainty and volatility of anger might become perversely comfortable, might help distract from or escape underlying uncomfortable feelings of emptiness or fear. The rush of drama and conflict feels familiar and produces a destructive intimacy that some might prefer than to confront other darker emotions like loss or grief or more. Aside from traumatic family environments, combat veterans are also at risk of similar addiction, as they remain in high-threat situations for long and repeated periods of time.

So it may be worth asking yourself, are you addicted to anger? If so, there are plenty of strategies for getting help, such as:

  • Psychotherapy (sometimes targeted cognitive-behavioral therapy for anger management, and also therapy to confront/observe underlying interpersonal dynamics and past issues that might trigger anger)
  • Treating any comorbid underlying conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD that can show anger as a symptom
  • Positive stress coping strategies like humor, exercise, yoga, meditation, or vacation
  • Learning alternative behaviors like how to problem-solve constructively and rely less on impulsive outbursts, talking out anger triggers with others ahead of time before they build up, mindfulnesstraining/acceptance, and more
  • Discussing your tendencies honestly with family members and friends

But, as with any addiction, the first step is admitting there is a problem; and for many, this is the hardest step until unfortunately, something happens that you can’t take back. It takes maturity and guts to admit your anger has become a problem, and sadly, many people have not yet stepped back to look and see how they affect everyone around them, let alone themselves. Awareness is the first step to recovery.

Fox news model.
