You will find many Freepers make Tucker an exception.

Of course they do. He's entertaining and informative. But he didn't support Trump when they called the election for Biden. 2 days after the election he had on a guest who called Trump a distraction and they should move on to dealing with Biden. That was on a segment that was supposed to be on China and Carlson not only didn't challenge him or cut him off telling him to stay on topic, he had him back on the next week. As much as he may be entertaining he's a company man. As much as I enjoyed watching him I cut him off completely.

I understand. It’s a shame.

It takes me six seconds to mute Tucker Carlson. I’d suggest people give him that much before muting.

(someone ought to build a automatic soft jazz tune deal into the mute so we can chill out when necessary)

“As much as I enjoyed watching him I cut him off completely.”

Yeah I can see how some people feel that way and cant hardly blame them. However, for my position I fear confirmation bias. I am afraid that I might be rejecting any opinions that do not precisely align with my own. I get the same thing listening to Ben Schapiro. I dont agree with everything he says, but I do agree with most of what he says. And it’s interesting to hear him make his case even if i dont ultimately agree with it.

He’s got a good point about the election. Even if there was Major corruption and fraud, (and i do believe there was but that’s a whole different topic) it was trumps case to make. If there was all this ‘kracken’ evidence then there was plenty of opportunities to present it. Trump tended to surround himself with celebrity conservatives that he heard pontificating on the radio but who were ineffective in the court room. Meanwhile the democrats hired the lawfirm of Flesh Eating Shark Infestation and Sons and used the entire media establishment to defend their position.

Also I think that ‘Fed Ex’ package was Tucker waking up with a Horsehead at the foot of his bed. He got scared into submission. But that doesnt mean he’s evil. Just because i disagree with you today doesnt mean you’re always wrong. Just because i disagree with tucker or schapiro today, doesnt mean they’re always wrong. It would be a very quiet world if i stopped listening to everyone that was ever wrong once.

On the other hand there’s Hannity whom i cannot think of any circumstance i ever disagreed with. I simply cant listen to him. And even if i agree with his Every point i would never attend his show because i simply can’t stand his delivery. He overtalks and bickers with his guests. Maybe i want to hear what his disagreeable guest has to say. I would never get the chance because Sean would step on every other sentence with his own opinion or position.

So be careful of confirmation bias.
