You're more than welcome to keep him up on your side of the border.

He questions the narratives?
That would great.
He takes facts and distorts them for the first few minutes of the show and then spends the rest of the show shovelling piles and piles of BS on top.
His genius is that he sounds earnest when doing it. So you believe him if you don’t know anything.
If he gave his opinions, however slanted, I’d be fine with it, but he flat out lies constantly.

Funny, I don't recall Andy Rooney getting turfed from CBS as part of a deal for having the network fork over close to $800 million to settle a lawsuit related to dubious claims about election-rigging. Is that the new definition of "grit" these days?

Take a moment to read this, particularly the truth about some of the "narratives" Carlson likes to spin.


 

Liars and exaggerators make honest discussion about difficult topics pretty nigh impossible. It's a challenge to even constructively critique the nuts and bolts of immigration policy, Covid measures, etc. These opportunists take very wee grains of truth and present them as a full-fledged loaf. And, sadly, mainstream outlets give them oxygen, and many people who perhaps instinctively have some degree of doubt and don't hear any real honest debate believe them. It has the feel of a successful psy-ops program.

I try to steer clear of politics here, but this one is pretty obvious. As John Moore noted on his show Friday, what credibility does a guy who cost his company $800 million in legal penalties have? He isn't exactly a paragon of virtue. He's the worst kind of con man - a very glib and good communicator who spews nothing but nonsense and gets rabid followers to believe him. 

When his own actions prompts the unfortunate number one cable news network in the U.S. to fire their biggest star, it speaks volumes. He reminds me a lot of Alex Jones - odious, conspiratorial and without conscience, not caring who gets hurt as long as he gets publicity and makes money. Consequences be damned. I sometimes wonder if he really believes any of the BS he spews. 

He's an awful man and all politicians here would do well to stop tainting themselves with guilt by association. 

The words “Tucker Carlson” and “valid points” should never be used in the same sentence. Just saying.

The is the guy who vehemently touted Donald Trump as the greatest leader of all time, but then behind the scenes he said he despised him.
Carleson is a total sham who sings and dances for money
He is a trust fund kid from the Swanson TV dinner family.
He's never had to "work" a day in his life.


 

I guess, posting Alex Jones' latest video is out of the question, then.   lol

Preaching to the choir in Alberta. I suspect he would receive a much colder welcome in solid Liberal Red Toronto.

There. I fixed it for you.
