    CNN hired a person who fully thinks and believes that Tucker Carlson is a right wing extremist. Whatever that means. To them.

    Meanwhile, Tucker is probably a thousand times more reasonable and considerate, than the person who labeled him a right wing extremist.

      I think “libertarian Deadhead” would be more accurate.

        I don't actually believe you've established a synthesis of your historical learnings. You hate the right, libertarians especially, and the left. That means everybody.

          You mistake me for someone who actually cares what the likes of you think.

          And yes, from what I have read that fucker, Carlson, is a veteran Deadhead of innumerable Grateful Dead concerts. I don’t hold that against him.

                              No, you write something. Should I feel the need, I’ll grudgingly comment at a time of my own choosing. In the meantime I’ll return to being a thoroughly disdainful cynic sceptic and misanthrope.

                                  More: https://www.nbcnews.com/media/fox-news-sends-tucker-carlson-cease-desist-letter-new-twitter-show-rcna88842


                                  Fox News has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tucker Carlson, alleging that the conservative network’s former star anchor breached his contract by launching a new show on Twitter, according to a source familiar with the matter.

                                  Carlson, a firebrand right-wing media personality known for spreading conspiracy theories, parted ways with Fox News in late April, days after the network agreed to pay almost $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to avert a high-stakes defamation trial.

                                  “Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations,” Harmeet Dhillon, one of Carlson’s lawyers, said in a statement. “Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.
                                  ...
                                  In a separate letter to Carlson’s lawyers last week that did not expressly demand he stop posting videos on Twitter, Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar said the former prime-time host was “in breach” of his contract with the network. The contract, signed in November 2019 and amended in February 2021, limits his ability to appear on other media outlets.

                                  In a statement, Bryan Freedman — another attorney for Carlson — insisted that any legal action by Fox News would infringe on the television personality's First Amendment rights.

                                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                    If the first statement above is true, then it seems that there may be some restriction on Mr. Carlson going on Twitter.

                                      If the first statement above is true, then it seems that there may be some restriction on Mr. Carlson going on Twitter.

                                      I agree. I don't think anyone, in today's era, would not consider Twitter to be a "media outlet."

                                      The First Amendment applies to government interference with free speech. A private enterprise, such as Twitter or Fox can do whatever it wishes with people on their platforms. I am always skeptical of people who invoke the First Amendment to defend what might be a breach of contract.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        Maybe he'll go to Russia to broadcast. He could get The Order of Lenin or something for services rendered.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Better to go to Keeev, that's where the money is.
