Tucker Carlson Day…3/8/2023…..Blow Back

By

The Fox talking head from Frisco ,  just continues the fumbles and misteps that Republicans have made since they got in bed with the New York City Real Estate guy , that pimps them, is a cry baby , and lies his ass off…..

And wants a second chance to fuck things up even more…..

Props to Dominion for their lawsuit that has pulled back the hypocrisy at Fox News for all to see….

What Tucker Carlson Left Out

NBC News: “Video that Carlson didn’t air shows police and rioters engaged in hours of violent combat. Nearly 1,000 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack. About 140 officers were assaulted that day, and about 326 people have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or employees, including 106 assaults that happened with deadly or dangerous weapons. About 60 people pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement. Two pipe bombs were also planted nearby but were not detonated.”

CBS News: “The narrative last night ignores the tens of thousands of pages of court filings we’ve read and the tonnage of footage already released by the Justice Department and shown in open court… And it ignores the powerful and at times tearful accounts of injured officers who are testifying under oath.”

Extra Bonus Quote of the Day

“The idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine.”

— Anderson Cooper, on CNN, criticizing the Fox News host’s attempt to re-write what happened on January 6.

Tucker Carlson and the New Narrative of January 6

David Graham: “That Tucker Carlson thinks his viewers are stupid is not new, though his first swing at spinning unseen footage of the January 6 insurrection provides a fresh test of just how credulous they are.”

“The notable news from Carlson’s show yesterday is not the video itself, which is similarly stale, but the crystallization of a Trumpist narrative about the assault on the Capitol that portrays it not as a disaster, nor as an unfortunate but minor event, but as a triumph to be celebrated.”

The January 6 Whitewash Will Backfire

Tom Nichols: “It’s one thing to assume that the Fox audience isn’t very bright and will believe almost anything—I will gladly stipulate to that—but it’s another to ask them to leap across a chasm of credulity…”

“As counterintuitive as it might be, perhaps the best thing for American democracy would be for Carlson to keep bumbling his way through more January 6 footage and to keep images of the insurrection in front of millions of viewers for as long as possible.”

“If that’s how McCarthy and Carlson intend to restore the image of the GOP as a normal political party, who are any of us to argue with such public-relations geniuses?”

  1. Carlson is a bought and paid for whore.

    As is common among so called “conservatives,” he believes in nothing but spouting off lies and hate for his audience of right wing goofballs who are so full of hate that they pretend to believe the rubbish this whore spouts off .All he cares about is his ratings and no lie is too big to help him achieve that objective
