You are so right!

That is hilarious. He looks like a shock jock to me. Basically a troll who pushes up the ratings because people like to gawk at a train or car wreck.

Trolls can be very entertaining but twist the facts every which way.

Tucker delivers the facts, pointing out the nonsense and propaganda pumped out by the likes of CNN, and does so with humor. That is why the vast majority of thinking people love him so much!

I saw a video on youtube not long ago, of a group home of alzheimers' patients. They kept fox news on as a default, even though most of their patients would just stare at the screen and not absorb a single word being said. Maybe most people don't really actually watch it. Maybe it's popular because it's "shiny."
And?

We cut access to cable TV six years ago. Reading this thread convinces me that it was the right decision. What happened to real news?

He's had a show for several years on Fox, I think his time slot and format recently changed though. Satire and comedy are my favorites but I can't stay awake until 11 PM to watch.

So, your opinion is based on what, exactly?

Cherry picked youtube videos? What Mr Potato Head on CNN has to say about him?

And all of the airports showing CNN are PAID by CNN to air their program...

And the volume is usually turned down... I guess it's just "shiny"...
