I'd still rather listen to him than Tucker Carlson.
Seth Myers said of Tucker Carlson that watching his facial expressions was like watching Templeton the rat trying to read Charlotte's Web.
I find Seth Myers as funny as a bout of gastritis. As illuminating, too.
-
In the interest of balance, I don't like Seth Myers, either.
But Tucker's facial expressions are pretty odd. Particularly for the smartest conservative commentator since William F. Buckley Jr.

That's you, Phibes. Admit it! -
I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.
I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.

I'm not particularly interesting in litigating his tone, but I think he often makes some very good points you won't find made in most other broadcast outlets.
Education is extremely important.

Fair enough; I think that's true, at least some of the time.
-
Just for the record, I'm not saying he never makes good points. My real problem with those shows is the whole concept of listening to what essentially amounts to rants. I get enough of that at home.
Also, I tend to find myself saying 'wanker' a lot. I feel exactly the same way about Bill Maher, possibly more so.

Yep, I get the same vibe. The whole tone is "get a load of how chilling/terrible/vindictive/whatever this is" with plenty of icy sarcasm thrown in. It's why I don't watch. I'm negative enough on my own, thanks.
Please love yourself.

Aqua, I saw this mug and almost bought it for you yesterday.

My current haven't-lost-my-shit average is up to about .250 or so. I know enough to realize I'll never go pro.

Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.
That facial expression reminds of the on camera face pull made by a former POTUS when he discovered the door was locked.

@catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).
P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person
Though it is interesting that one of the richest ladies in the world is from China and made her money recycling cardboard, most of it shipped from world wide.

Zhang Yin is China's richest person, and with a net worth of $4.7 billion, she's the world's richest self-made woman.
Even more remarkably, she did it by recycling what the United States was throwing away: cardboard.
