I guess Tucker should have talked about the checkers' board game; that's the farthest most American brains go can from the looks of our very recent history...

As an aside, thought Lemon's last one about a woman politician being "past her prime" would have been the final straw of self destruction for him, actually, maybe it was, but they just waited a couple weeks so it was not so obvious ? Of course coming from a woman's perspective, I about fainted (was watching when he said it), with the ages of many of the prominent male politicians of BOTH parties, I was amazed that he would even consider saying that ... but then I came back to reality... this is DON LEMON

They're in stellar company:

Glenn Beck (spreading conspiracy theories about the JUST-elected Pres. Obama), Bill O'Reilly (sexual misbehavior allegations), Roger Ailes (sexual harassment), Ed Henry (sexual misconduct), Eric Bolling (sexual misconduct).

Henry and Bolling had affairs OUTSIDE of work... That is NOT "sexual misconduct"...

And if you want to talk about "stellar company", don't forget to include Matt Lauer, Chris Cuomo and Jeffery Toobin (who is back working @ CNN...)

Carla B 04-25-2023 10:54 AM

No access to cable news (CNN and FOX) has proven to be an unintended benefit of cutting the cord for us over the past eight years. Far less misinformation to clutter the mind or induce episodes of high blood pressure.

charlieo1126@gmail.com 04-25-2023 11:38 AM

You have to cut the cord so you don’t watch these shows ? INTERESTING

Is Toobin still working one handed?

And the odds that such a high percentage of them have sexual problems is what? Must be in there DNA. Did not mention Mr. Weinstein.

Watch: Is This The Speech That Got Tucker Carlson Removed From Fox News? | ZeroHedge

I really liked Tucker, Muckraker that he is. He was the only one I got interested in watching on the Fox network. Conspiracy theorist me, but I think it was not just the law suit over the voting machine manufacturer, he also vowed to continue on for as long as it took to get all the information into the public light on the Ray Epps story relating to January 6, and also continued to try to discover why the so called "manifestos" of all of these mass killers are released, but not that of killer of the children in the parochial school, which of course breeds more speculation: could it contain information that the killer was on drugs at a time the push is to get them all legalized, or, could it possibly reflect badly on all trans gender people because this one was a mass killer, or.......or.... or. When I lived and worked in Illinois for a time, there was a local newspaper reporter much like Tucker, tenacious, not willing to just let go of a story when given a vague, or unlikely, explanation. People used to worry that because he cracked to the truth in so many "coverups", one day he's be found floating in the river. Democrat or Republican, rich or poor, city or state employee, he always got "the rest of the story". I liked that tenaciousness about Tucker Carlson. Back when he worked for CNN, and CNN was in every airport waiting lounge, he got my attention as someone with a great presentation, voice, animation, who would have a good career in media.

Hummm, good question, sick but true, probably at least 75% of the audience watching will be watching very closely now ! Apart for the cheap jokes, etc. isn't it sad that so many in the industry have so little self-esteem, moral fiber, belief in SOMETHING ? Just ratings, ratings, ratings. For some reason I can never get out of my mind the night we were watching Fox news, our adult children were living in St. Louis at the time, and we were following the story of the young St. Louis boy kidnapped and held hostage for several years by a pizza delivery man. Groomed, brainwashed that his parents were happy he vanished, given every kind of video game by his captor, was able to eat all the candy he wanted, just what a per-adolescent would think was great. When he finally escaped and was back with his parents, Bill O'Riley carried on and on about how the boy "probably" could have escaped years earlier, but he LIKED being a sex slave to this pervert because in return he got everything a pre-teen dreams of, stay up as late as you want, don't have to go to school, etc. Could never watch him on Fox after that, hubby used to enjoy his program, but that was "it" for us. Anyone in the media, who had no idea what Stockholm syndrome is, was just not someone we ever wanted to watch again. However, this kind of thing is definitely not limited to the Fox network, not at all !

By the way, a friend of mine was in a restaurant recently in The Villages where RT news was on the television. I heard her explain the problem to the new owner of the restaurant, who said that would not be happening again. RT presents Russian propaganda, often trying in subtle ways to make us despair of finding happiness in our country. As for me, I’m happy to be an American, and I don’t need RT to make me unhappy.

If you want to watch trustworthy, relaxing news dump all the cable so call news shows and watch PBS.

It’s ok. I get all my news straight from TOTV.

The Daily Mail is practically on the same level as RT and Fox regarding agendas.
Mind you, I buy the paper on a Friday for my favorite journalists reports, and on a Saturday, because the DM. has the best weekly tv. program guide.
Apart from those exclusions, I would not waste my money on it.
I actually like Al Jazeera for world news.

I have the cable news networks, available on youtube tv, I just don't watch them. I don't understand why watching "news" shows became a pastime. Hours and hours of being spoon fed lies, and being told how to feel about every event isn't entertaining.... it's manipulation.

People like Tucker Carlson, and his lies have caused the big divide in this country. I'm glad even Fox said too much, I worry about where he will show up next. He is evil.

Mumsie 04-26-2023 07:10 AM

Cute little face with a perplexed look
 
Tucker always reminded me of the smart ass little kid in my class who just loved asking stupid questions when he really thought he knew the answer. Just trying to get something started, just trying to rile everybody up. That adorable little furrowed brow and those suggestions that he threw out there in such a seemingly naive, endearing way, always trying to make you think that he was really on to something. Such great personality traits in a “widely respected” talk show host or snake oil salesman.
Hopeful that those worry lines on his forehead go away now that he’s been relieved of his duties🤣🤣

manaboutown 04-26-2023 09:54 AM

"According to the Times of San Diego, an online news outlet, San Diego-based One America News might be willing to pay $25 million to Carlson to join its network.

“It would be great if we could get Tucker! I might give him around $25 million,” OAN CEO and founder Robert Herring told the outlet in an email, the Times of San Diego reported. “And he would be well worth that!”"
