Tucker Carlson is a smart guy, but I find him unbearable to watch. He’s got a great personality and a sharp mind, but his standard approach in these interviews is to constantly interrupt his guests and step all over them. I’d be surprised if he ever got a guest like this to return to his show. Someone needs to give him some basic lessons in conducting an on-air interview.

This kid isn’t even dry behind the ears yet and he is editor of the Philly op-ed page or something like that. The experienced editors have either been given retirement packages or fired because these daily liberal rags can’t afford to pay competent help across their entire personnel staff beginning with the custodians. Journalism is dead in this country. That is why I like the Daily Mail or the Canadian Free Press. They don’t have an axe to grind.

This hapless schmo is floundering under the impression that the “seriousness of the charge” is the issue, rather than the issue being the issue.

Tucker is usually pretty good, but he’s hard to watch with his mouth hanging open while the other guy is talking.

This clown asserts that he doesn't want foreign entities influencing our elections...fine. Is he comfortable with our own news media and their influence on elections? Is it OK that our media uses over-sampled polls that pose as news stories? Is it OK that our media omits stories that don't fit their narrative, but then spend an extraordinary amount of time on stories that do? Why is the media's influence acceptable?

I'm glad to see stories like these because I thought I was initially the only one who felt this way. There's a lot of smoke about "election-hacking by the Russians," and I even see the current GOPe going along with lip service along these lines. Yet, I STILL have not see any shred of evidence that implicates Russia, nor how whatever is being alleged influenced our election.

At the end of the day, 6 months, 12 months, or even 8 years from now, the media will get to claim that "Trump shouldn't be allowed to do __________, because he is only President due to Russia hacking the election."

As he goes forward it will become increasingly difficult to book any of the lefties. Without exception they get shamed, schooled and have their assess handed to them. The Urnalists are shown to be petty, vindictive, and hyper-partisan.

Carlson has to finesse the interviews or he blows them out of the water.

The “reporter” was hung up on Trump’s desire to “move on”. I wonder if this dip**** ever heard of “moveon.org”, and knows how it got its name?

Tucker pinpoints exactly the issue; there is nothing wrong with voters to having more information. The tatic of the left is to use manipulative language, this is the real problem. For example, nobody wants people to be poor or to be without health , nobody wants to live on a polluted planet , and now this one, nobody wants our elections controlled by a foreign county . These are the straw-man arguments they always add to proposed bad policies that otherwise would be rejected, in order to manipulate their way. For example “Climate change” is a rubber term used to mean anything from “the climate changes” (which everyone agrees with) to “we impact the climate at least a tiny amount” (which everyone agrees with) to “we impact the climate for the better” (yes, that’s possible) to “we are making the climate much more dangerous” (which much fewer people agree with) to “we are making the climate much more dangerous and the only response is to stop using fossil fuels but also incoherently oppose nuclear power and hydroelectric power while advocating the worst-performing energy technologies, solar and wind so as to under-perform energy output and to keep us chained to the Saudis , and in return influences our elected leaders through bribes. This is the real meddling of our election system . Likewise, the Russians have owned Obama he now is trying to use manipulative language about unrelated truths Informing voters as being bad as the results of the Russians to divert attention away from his own failures, while the simple fact is , a more informed voter us a good thing.

So, you would rather have Carlson allow his guests to filibuster to their hearts content? You would rather have him let them get away with egregious lies and distortions? You would rather have him move to another topic when they refuse to answer a question? You would rather have the guest eat up the full 5-10 minute segment, and say nothing of substance?

I find Tucker’s approach quite refreshing. He allows PLENTY of rope for his lib dopes to tangle themselves up in...and then ties a knot, once he’s given them ample airtime to fully embarrass and implicate themselves.

I guess you preferred Britt Hume’s exciting (/s) style (ZzzzzzZZZZzzz), over Tucker’s substance?

Demand facts from the left and their argument falls apart. It works on facebook also. they have no facts... just rhetoric.

Watching Tucker skewer these liberal doofuses (doofi?) is almost as good as watching replays of Hillary supporters’ meltdowns on Election night. Almost...

Oh the irony. In the good old days, far Left cranks were Russian apologists on most matters.

I have to say, I’ve been a little surprised that 0bama and the Left want to keep the email story foremost in the news with this Russian hacker story, going so far as to sanction them. The story will turn on a dime, as there is no substance to the accusation, and the natural progression will be the re-ignition of Hillary’s (and his complicity with it) ILLEGAL USE OF A PRIVATE SERVER for conducting State business, which anyone could have hacked. Secondly, the CONTENT of the emails will also become the issue, as it has with Carlson here. After Jan. 20, this Russian fiasco 0bama has created and the natural progression of turning the spotlight on Hillary will be a great segue into Sessions opening a formal inquiry.

You mean the Left defended the Atheist Communist, where the State mattered when Russia was the Soviet Union.

However, since the Soviet Union collapsed 25 years ago, and now they are Christian Capitalist who believe the family first. Then yes the Left attacks Russia.

I disagree. Tucker is like Bama Football. Everyone wants to try, but the vast majority will fail.

I’m so glad Tucker’s back. I love ending my day with the shattered remains of the loony left that Tucker leaves in his wake. Yes I guess I have a mean streak, but I enjoyed watching him chew up that snowflake last night.

Tucker is making Megyn Kelly look pretty obsolete.

The kid was way unprepared- Carslon basically boiled down the kid’s whole ‘argument’ to “I don’t know any facts, but I believe the accusations and if you don’t believe it too, despite a complete lack of evidence, we will punish you”

Typical liberal mentality- comply or suffer-
