    The Tucker Carlson defense. Worked for him.

    Plenty of people seem to think he's a great thinker.

    Definitely smarter and more interesting than any talking head I’m aware of on left leaning news television.

    Education is extremely important.

          I shouldn’t say that. It doesn’t mean he’s not smart. It just means he holds these two beliefs simultaneously;

          1). Only an idiot would believe what I say
          2). Millions of Trump supporters believe what I say

          Only non-witches get due process.

            Trump supporters are better looking than Biden supporters and also smarter.

            Do you know why Biden loves the Oval Office so much? Because it’s the only room where Kamala can’t tell him to go sit in the corner.

            in a couple years, the only Biden supporter will be his walker.

            Biden is the ultimate contradiction. A guy who was born in the 1800s but who is so dumb, he seems like he was born yesterday.

            Biden is a white male with a track record of never questioning his gender identity or his sexuality. And yet we’re supposed to trust him?

              If you like listening to talking heads on TV who reinforce and confirm what you already believe, I'm sure Tucker's great. I've never understood the appeal of these shows, left or right.

              I can't even watch the evening entertainment shows any more over here. You guys are fucking obsessed with politics. It's all they talk about. They even bring over British "comedians" to go on about it now, presumably with the idea that James Corden and John Oliver sound more sophisticated. A Brummie!

              Personally, I'd rather spend an hour walking my dog.

              I was only joking

                Objectively true. Seriously.

                  Of course, you are fully entitled to your opinion regarding what is objectively true, however I think he's dreadful.

                    @Doctor-Phibes, you may get a chance to have to work even harder to avoid watching or hearing Tucker Carlson. He might run for President.

                      Name an alternative. Name a smarter talking head. The way you put it, it’s as if there are many. Let’s hear who you think is smarter. And by the way I can think of many smart people who I think are dreadful.

                            I don't listen to any of them, so I honestly don't know. My objection is that you state an opinion using inherently subjective terms as though it's a fact.

                            'Smarter' - ok, you can probably test that, although that's debatable. 'More interesting' - that's not an objective measure. I don't find him interesting, which is why I don't watch him.

                            'Conservatives tend to think that Tucker Carlson is smarter and more interesting than a bunch of people they don't agree with' is closer to the mark.

                                You replied to Horace's comment that Tucker was smarter and more interesting than any other commentators by saying it was objectively true.

                                And 'smarter' is a matter of opinion. I never said he was stupid.

                                  Of course, you are fully entitled to your opinion regarding what is objectively true, however I think he's dreadful.

                                  Name an alternative. Name a smarter talking head. The way you put it, it’s as if there are many. Let’s hear who you think is smarter. And by the way I can think of many smart people who I think are dreadful.

                                  I don't listen to any of them, so I honestly don't know. My objection is that you state an opinion using inherently subjective terms as though it's a fact.

                                  'Smarter' - ok, you can probably test that, although that's debatable. 'More interesting' - that's not an objective measure. I don't find him interesting, which is why I don't watch him.

                                  'Conservatives tend to think that Tucker Carlson is smarter and more interesting than a bunch of people they don't agree with' is closer to the mark.

                                  I never said anything about interesting. Liberals love to call people stupid, that is their thing. So it just needs to be corrected early and often.

                                  You replied to Horace's comment that Tucker was smarter and more interesting than any other commentators by saying it was objectively true.

                                  And 'smarter' is a matter of opinion. I never said he was stupid.

                                  Ok. You are right. My statement included more interesting and that is very debatable. I only really watched him when cross fire was a show and I have seen him speak live (he was one of many at a non political conference.

                                    Carlson’s monologues get posted here sometimes when they are particularly good. By all means I hope those who consider him an unintelligent and uninteresting twat listen and comment next time.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      Once again, I didn't say he was unintelligent.

                                      You guys whine and whine about how awful the mainstream media is, but you really only mean the stuff you don't agree with. I dislike all of it.

                                        "Both sides are equal and opposite garbage" would be an interesting perspective if I couldn't name five other posters on this board alone who think that way. It's not a point, it's a punt. And definitely not a thoughtful one.

                                        Anyway, if Carlson is posted about here again, I'll try to remember to ping you so you have an opportunity to explain why he's talking bollocks. It's too bad you haven't taken any such opportunity the previous 20 times he's been posted about here.

                                          You know those people who are really, really into Bob Marley, or Van Morrisson, or some other pop singer, and however many times you tell them you don't like them, they keep playing you their stuff to listen to?

                                          I don't. Fucking. Like. Talking Heads. On TV.

                                          I don't mind the band Talking Heads, after a few drinks at least. You can play their stuff. Not the other guys.
