Tuckkker has got to go

 

That's rather typical...they want him fired for asking a fucking question, because it didn't support what the Crime Boss Biden and the Ho (half cracker 3.0) Administrations talking points and flat out lies.

Be damned the oppositional voice.

 

Staffers beg Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson — but there’s a ‘dirty little secret’ that makes him ‘untouchable’

Tucker Carlson Screen Capture

Fox News staffers called on the network to fire Tucker Carlson over his call to harass parents and children for wearing masks, but the highly rated host is "invincible."

Current and former employees were embarrassed and outraged when Carlson urged viewers to call child protection services on parents whose children wear masks in public, but they told The Daily Beast the top-rated prime-time host is "untouchable" and will never "suffer any repercussions" for his openly white nationalist comments or other statements that might lead to violence.

"He's a good example of how much you can get away with at Fox if your ratings are high," one current network staffer said. "Aside from that, he just perpetuates the right's catastrophe platform. They cannot win with their supposed limited government, fiscal conservatism, because not even they really believe in it. So all they do is fear monger."

The Anti-Defamation League had called on Carlson to be fired and advertisers to boycott his show after he endorsed the white-supremacist "Great Replacement" theory on air, but Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch defended the network's biggest star -- much to the chagrin of staffers.

"The Murdochs love him," one former Fox News personality said. "Like them, he is a rich, prep school kid born with a silver spoon who traffics in populism while living in an expensive ivory tower and never meeting in real life the people he gins up for ratings."

Even advertiser boycotts won't dent the Murdochs' support for Carlson, because Fox doesn't need them thanks to their loyal viewers -- and other cable customers -- who pay carriers to make sure the conservative network remains on their service.

"He's the new Bill O'Reilly," another ex-Fox News employee stated. "The dirty little secret is that FNC doesn't care about losing advertisers. They make their money via cable conglomerates that pay them much money so that dumb f*cks who worship FNC can continue being told what, in their heart of hearts, they want to believe -- and that's a lot of people."

Fox News staffers are frustrated their concerns aren't taken seriously, and one current staffer says his ability to skate away from consequences remind them of someone else Fox News helped turn into a political star.

"If Tucker left, his fans would follow him wherever he went and would turn Fox off for scorning their leader," the current staffer said. "If Trump is the most dangerous person in the country, Tucker is a close second behind him."

Trump/Tucker... the collective efforts of the hack fuck leftists and their band of jolly followers have failed to silence Trump and Tucker...oh whoas me.

I wonder how Trump feels about the competition of being the most dangerous in the country.....I suspect Trump welcomes the competition.

And you can tell them that I said that...not some un-named current or ex FOX staffer.

 

We should try to hear all voices in the political arena. But we aren't allowed that thanks to despicable fear of the truth;

And three years ago Tucker confronted antifa.
We should have paid more attention then.

Mainstream outlets face deluge of criticism for retracted Giuliani story, use of anonymous sources
Growing calls for outlets to 'burn' their anonymous sources

The New York Times, The Washington Post, and NBC News faced a deluge of criticism Monday following the weekend corrections they each issued concerning their false reporting that Rudy Giuliani was warned by the FBI he was a target of a Russian disinformation campaign.

The stories about the alleged warning were published following the FBI raid on the former New York City mayor's Manhattan apartment on April 29, which came as part of the ongoing investigation into whether or not he violated the law while lobbying on behalf of Ukrainian officials in 2019.

Each of the outlets referenced anonymous sources when revealing the FBI warnings that never took place, which prompted Giuliani to demand they reveal who their sources were following the retractions.

Fox News contributor and The Hill's Joe Concha also blasted the false reporting and use of anonymous sources, calling on the outlets to reveal the source. He then cited a 2018 Axios poll that said 75% of Americans believe "traditional major news sources" report things they know to be "fake, false, or purposefully mislead

It'll only get better..

Retracting any story never has the impact that the original hit piece did on the public.

 

Lies are ok with MSM, put it out there, the mass are deluded, then circle back on page 47, then claim honest reporting...information is a tool to the left

'Foxitus': Another Capitol attacker is blaming Fox News for radicalizing him into terrorism

While the ranting and raving from Capitol attacker Landon Copeland scored most of the news Thursday, that same group of hearings involved Anthony Antonio, whose attorney claimed radicalization.

Huffington Post's Ryan Reilly cited the attorney claiming "Foxitus" and "Foxmania," saying that his client was radicalized to attack the U.S. Capitol after watching Fox News for six months. He then started "believing what was being fed to him" by the conservative network and President Donald Trump.

Antonio talked to the feds with his lawyer pretty early, and told them he saw “death” in the eyes of D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone as the mob pulled the officer into the crowd. https://justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1389341/download

Ironically, this comes after a lawsuit against Fox News host Tucker Carlson for slander. In the 2020 case, Fox News explained that Carlson isn't even remotely credible.

The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary,'" said Fox lawyers at the time.

"Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes," said U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in her ruling.

Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch touts soaring Fox News ratings, success of 'Gutfeld!'
Fox Nation sees 40 percent jump in subscriber growth since February
By Brandon Gillespie | Fox News


Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch touted Fox News' soaring ratings during a third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday, proclaiming the network's lead over its rivals, and highlighting the success of the new hit show "Gutfeld!"

Murdoch spoke during the call about the news cycle that followed the 2020 presidential electionStart for 99¢
"At that time, what we did not anticipate was the short but heightened news cycle that immediately followed the election and that clearly benefited our competition. Since the second impeachment trial, Fox News regained its leadership position and has maintained that leading spot ever since, averaging a 40 percent share of total day in primetime cable news audiences," he said.



Murdoch went on to praise the success of the new show "Gutfeld!," which premiered on April 5, hosted by Greg Gutfeld. He said the show is drawing an audience larger than NBC's "The Tonight Show," and "roughly the same size as Jimmy Kimmel Live."



He went on to note that Fox Nation saw a 40 percent increase in subscriber growth since February. He added that the network would be investing in new Fox Nation programming in the future, building on the popular additions of "Tucker Carlson Today" and "Tucker Carlson Originals" to the streaming platform.

Fox News Channel was the most-watched cable-news channel for the 11th straight week from April 26 through May 2, with an average of 2.3 million primetime viewers.

"Tucker Carlson Tonight" was the most-watched program, averaging 2.9 million viewers for the week.


The network also averaged 1.2 million total day viewers, with liberal rivals CNN and MSNBC failing to even hit one million.

 

MAGA rioters' 'Foxitis' defense mocked by CNN legal analyst: 'Not going to be persuasive'

Defense attorneys representing one of the Capitol rioters this week claimed that their client wasn't to blame for his actions because he'd been "radicalized" by Fox News.

CNN legal analyst Carrie Cordero on Friday explained to host Brianna Keilar that it was unlikely any jurors would buy into this so-called "Foxitis" defense of MAGA rioter Anthony Antonio.

"This is something that his defense attorney is certainly entitled to argue, but it is not going to be a persuasive defense to the conduct that is being alleged," Cordero explained. "Let's talk about the actual affidavit filed in this case. What it alleges the defendant did on January 6th includes a wide range of charges: Unauthorized entry into the Capitol complex, disorderly conduct, physical violence."

She then detailed how there is apparently evidence that Antonio assaulted a Capitol police officer and stole his riot shield and gas mask, and she said it will be very hard for him to plead that Fox News made him do it.

"What the court... is going to be looking at is the actual conduct and the video evidence and other evidence that exists in the case, not his allegations that he was brainwashed by watching TV," she said.

Just because it’s not a good legal defense doesn’t mean that it is not true

 

I expect to see it come up in Dominion's suit against Fox News and there could be other areas of liability. Lying on a massive scale can get very expensive.

 

The Fox News echo chamber is creating a psycho-fringe of alternative reality and they are cheering about their ratings

 

Fox gets to brag about their ratings because they have little to no real competition as far as being a right wing false propaganda noise machine. They attract nearly every treasonous conservative/Republican in the country. While liberals and independents have far more choices. Especially CNN and MSNBC which have a combined audience that's usually much bigger than Fox's.

 

More proof that figures never lie but liars figure.
To get parity with Fox the despicables have to claim that fairness dictates that the audience numbers need to be combined for them.

All they manage to do is expose their insecurities.

 

Trump and his cult say mainstream media is FAKE NEWS and yet when Fox News gets sued for defamation their defense was you can’t believe what TucKKKer Carlson says

 

"Trump and his cult say...."​

See what you did there.

 

61% of Trump voters say that they trust their employer's CEO. That compares to just 28% who trust government leaders, and a mere 21% who trust journalists.

• 56% of Americans agree with the statement that "Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations."
• 58% think that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public."
• When Edelman re-polled Americans after the election, the figures had deteriorated even further, with 57% of Democrats trusting the media and only 18% of Republicans.
  
  
  
  

There is a strong consensus that trust in the media has been diminishing for 3 decades and there isn't a turn around in sight.
