    Here's a slightly less hysterical description of Carlson's take on Ukraine

    (Full disclosure: The Independent newspaper is owned by the wealthy son of a Russian oligarch)

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-ukraine-russia-flashmob-b2037054.html

    I was only joking

      Here’s a compilation from media matters, annoyingly interspersed with war footage.

      But you’ll get an idea. He full on said numerous times he supports Russia in the conflict.

      Hence the quote from Frum I quoted when he backtracked.

      Link to video

      Tucker doesn't care about children with cancer.

      Once again, I'm left with the impression that the guy didn't finish a single day at high school without having his underpants pulled over his chubby little head.

      I'm kidding, of course. There's no way he didn't go to a posh little private place where they positively encourage being a douchebag.

      Well, as wrong as he may be about his opinions about Russia and Ukraine, that particular video was emotionally manipulative idea-free swill for the tribal masses.

      Obviously. That goes without saying.

      He's still a twat.

      @Doctor-Phibes

      As far as I’m concerned personalities like Carlson and his loudmouthed counterpart in Russia, Zhirinovsky, are nothing more than media limelight whores. That one is a media talking head and the other is politician is of little consequence. Coming across as Putin stooges is part and parcel of their current clown act. Both have their devoted followers.

      Turn on the spotlights and show them for what they are; vacuous fools

      Elbows up!

        Mr. Carlson reports stories nobody else wants.

        And he makes a big deal about how he is the only one reporting it.

        And he makes a point that the story should be reported.

        This fits that MO. Nobody else is asking Why hate Putin?

        The story here is that the answer to his question is, for the most part, he shouldn't ask the question.

        Give him the answer, Mr. Putin is bad, and let it go.

        Another reason is that Ukraine is a huge underdog, everyone loves the underdog. If somehow Russia becomes the underdog, things could change.

          He used to wear a tie that nobody else wanted.

          You know why nobody else wanted it?

          Because it made him look like a twat.

          The same thing goes for his "commentary" on Ukraine.

            Most if not all of the clips of him had a date stamp from 2019 or 2020, or am I mistaken?

              I don’t know. Here’s a cleaner compilation that clearly includes clips from the Biden presidency, so in the past year.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                You may have exposed Mr. Carlson’s secret to achieve top viewership ratings!

                  I wouldn’t call what Carlson does, reporting. He may take what he thinks is a story and then sensationalizes it out of all recognition. Some might call it yellow journalism, I just call it FUBARed.
