Tucker, how could you?
Vanity and Youtube ^ | 11/11/2020 | Oshkalaboomboom

Posted on 11/10/2020 11:09:02 PM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

I haven't watched much news at all since election night but I still thought that Tucker Carlson was one of the people who would stand up for our President until it wasn't possible to stand up any more. Then I watched last night's show. He had on a frequent guest of his, Alex Berenson, who wrote a book or 2 about the Coronavirus, lockdowns and their effect on society. He was running his normal lot of statistics to show how ineffective lockdowns were but then he changed topics and started a rant on how the GOP was wasting precious time supporting Donald Trump when they should be mounting a campaign to force the Biden administration to end lockdowns and start vaccinations. Not once did Tucker object or interrupt him. he let him finish, thanked him for his input and moved on. That was it for me. Tucker was my last tie to Fox, now I'm done with him.

Here is the relevant part of the segment.

Agreed.
Let’s silence FOX and tell Tucker to move on.
We will go with him.

If true (not disputed) how long will he last at FOX?

Agreed. I see him waffling at a time when it really matters. I don’t know the pressures he is under so I won’t judge, but we are looking for LEADERS with GUTS right now.....and Tucker seems to have fallen off his pedestal lately.

Tucker Carlson is one of the very few I can watch. He’s courteous, lets his guests talk even when he doesn’t like what he’s hearing, and he usually asks challenging questions. This time he didn’t. Could have been time constraint for all we know. I watched the clip you linked, I don’t see the problem.
The perfect is the enemy of the good, FRiend.

He’s good, but I prefer Laura Ingraham. The Ingraham Angle is better and she has better guests.

All IMO of course.

Laura’s great. I missed her recent reported wavering and assumed she was taken out of context. She’s still fighting the fraud. And, I’m sure all Murdoch employees have been advised to hit some conciliatory notes , at least

How did you judge it ?

I’ve seen him pose followup questions dozens of times before. That’s what anyone from FR would have done.

We don't have time limits and commercial breaks to worry about.

You have to check his expression after he lets a guest finish talking and also the tone of his Thanks for being on the show. If it’s subdued, he doesn’t agree.

True, but asking him a follow-up would have just shortened his rant. As it was he was brought on to discuss lockdown effectiveness, not whether or not he thought the GOP should dump Trump. He’s the one who went off topic and Tucker let him get away with it.

Exactly! Especially after stating that even if you don’t like what is being said to you you should at least listen. Works for me.

That could have been staged for effect. Not an unlikely explanation.

I’ve always been wary of Alex Berenson, the author.....
....he wrote spy novels in which the main undercover character became a Muslim to ‘fit in’ during his long slog in the Middle East.....then adopts it for real!

Whoa!......

I’m not throwing Tucker out with the bath water......but we do watch him and my antenna is up

Perhaps, perhaps....he was surprised at Alex’s words too!!
Brian Kilmeade of Fox and Friends has been saying the same thing,

There seems to be a few people on FR whose attitudes are..... if you don’t 100% agree with me you are no good. I always thought that is how left wing liberals think. Flame away.

It’s not about agreeing 100%, it is about FOX NEWS CORP, that not only is actively engaged in trying to throw the election, they’re leading the charge.
It’s not about TUCKER CARLSON, he’s an individual working for a very dirty corporation, but by all means, keep supporting FOX. There are other news channels out there that are not trying to influence the election.
