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

There seems to be a few people on FR whose attitudes are..... if you don’t 100% agree with me you are no good.

This isn't a policy disagreement such as whether or not Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton would be a better 2024 candidate. Perhaps a little background might help you to see it from my perspective.

I live in Spain and get most of my news either from Fox News or FR. On election night I go to bed and when I wake up there is story after story here on FR on how Fox News has betrayed the President. Then I read on how Laura Ingraham, one of the 2 main people I download every morning when I wake up for an opinion show (the other being Tucker Carlson) had called for the President to "gracefully concede" if it looked like he was losing. Then more stories on how Fox executives had tried to rein in their evening show hosts. So I give it a couple of days, download Tucker Carlson and what do I hear but one of his guests giving an uninterrupted rant on how Trump is getting in the way of working with the Biden administration on the lockdown. I posted the video of what I saw and heard.

Sorry if you think I'm being hard core but I don't want to wake up in the mornings and hear people telling Trump to get out of the way. I don't want to watch people who give people like that a platform and don't call them on it. If you think that makes me the same as a left winger then I guess we have a disagreement.

It is not about supporting FOX. It is about being judgemental of other people. Stalin, Hitler, Castro yes. Tucker Carlson...I don’t think so. I also watch OANN and Newsmax and even CNN once in a great while.

I agree. I’d put Lou Dobbs at #2.

The extremists did that a few years back to Michelle Malkin.

What should have Carlson done? Cut him off like CNN or MSNBC does when a conservative is talking. Sounds like something a leftist might do.

I think Steven Crowder is better, but that’s just me.

He’s the best talk show host on television. His critics are never satisfied. I hope he endures.

hear, hear...
