    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.

      Please love yourself.

        He does have that scratchy Walter Brennen voice, I'll give you that.

          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.

          I was only joking

            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.

                  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.

                    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).

                      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.

                          Back to original programming, another day in the US with flat cases and declining deaths. And up to 3 million more vaccinated.

                          Anything can change but the data doesn’t show a “variant based surge”.

                                I don’t know, the numbers staying flat while we are vaccinating over 2,000,000 a day hits me as kind of scary. If we weren’t vaccinating 2,000,000 per day, how bad would it be?

                                      I don’t know, the numbers staying flat while we are vaccinating over 2,000,000 a day hits me as kind of scary. If we weren’t vaccinating 2,000,000 per day, how bad would it be?

                                      I added Germany because of the new lockdowns imposed by the Merkel government.

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

                                        India has put a hold on exports of the AZ vaccine due to rising domestic cases

                                        Also, there's a new 'double mutant'?

                                        This isn't over yet.

                                        I was only joking

                                          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.
