Has he matched the late, great Rush yet?Apparently so, if we're not dealing with apples ad oranges.

But I still don’t really trust him, since he was happy to be the Murdochs’ errand boy for years after we all saw them participate in the Big Steal. If you are given false information, do not know it to be false and repeat it as part of your job, does that make you a liar?

"During the broadcast, Tucker blew the whistle on the latest apparent false flag in Ukraine, the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, which has “put the largest nuclear reactor in Europe in danger of melting down...”
"In December, The Washington Post quoted a Ukrainian General, saying his men had fired American-made rockets at the dam’s flood gate, as a test strike,” Tucker told his audience.
“So really, once the facts start coming, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam."
"Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up, just as you would assume they blew up Nord Stream, the Russian natural gas pipeline last fall, and in fact, the Ukrainians did do that, as we now know.”
Any fair minded person would conclude?? Bwahahahaha! Complete BS. Tucker has lost all rational and objective thought. He has fallen for conjecture and has formed personal conclusions without any evidence with the facts to back it up.
"The New York Times reported in March that intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggested that a pro-Ukrainian group was behind it — but the officials said they didn’t have any evidence that Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky or any of the nation’s top officials were involved. "
"The CIA reportedly obtained the intelligence from an unnamed European ally. The Post obtained it from an online friend of Jack Teixiera, the Air National Guardsman who was arrested in April for allegedly leaking classified government documents on the chat platform Discord."
"CIA Reportedly obtained intelligence"... A RUMOR that is from an unverified-unnamed European ally. ???
LOL! Carlson passing off a RUMOR as fact. There is and never has been any proof that Ukrainians blew up Nord Stream pipeline or that Kiev was involved in any way. Pure disinformation and fantasy.
Tucker continues to buy-into BS conjecture & propaganda spread by the 3 Putin fanboy Amigo's... "Clayton Morris, Larry C Johnson, and Scott Ritter", who are known as the authors of inventing and propagating Kiev "False Flag" propaganda of which they themselves authored.
Pathetic of Carlson to believe such unverifiable BS that was constructed from sound-bites and conspiracy-theory postulating.
It's also funny that there are many in Russia that boast & cheer taking and admit to FULL responsibility for the destruction of the dam by the Russian military. There are also video clips of troops in occupied Zaporizhia Oblast and the city of Melitopol' cheering on the destruction. A clip pf a soldier BOASTING that Russian army mined the damn and blew up! And they will do it again, and again.
I guess Tucker missed those videos before falling for the "reportedly" and "unnamed source" BS and is so readily enamored by the anti-Kiev propaganda & pro-Russian hacks the likes of Clayton Morris, Larry C Johnson, and Scott Ritter.
Carlson has an obvious angst against Zelensky and Kiev that was fostered by rumor and his disdain for Ukraine getting billions in lethal aid to expel Putin. Actually I don't blame him for his contempt. But his emotions/bias are getting in the way of his critical thinking an objectivity. He needs to stop hating on Kiev and gather more persuasive credible information than just bits and pieces that suggest a possibility before pointing the finger of guilt. He's getting to sound like a leftist.

Sorry, Carlson’s not dumb enough for me to believe he “did not know it to be false”. Not buying that excuse.

Tucker talks about motives, but not capabilities or actual events.
There is no evidence I know of that the dam was attacked by missile, drone, airplane, or ship. So how did Ukraine supposedly do it? By secret agents? Or magic? We are left with the theory that the people in possession of the dam, the Russian military, demolished it. Tucker may not think they had a sufficient motive, but that seems much less relevant.

“ Maybe it was a message to China.”
The U.S. should be careful about sending such “messages.”
When it comes to the vulnerability of dams, electrical infrastructure and/or refineries and pipelines, we’ve got everyone beat.

Things were so different back then. For ‘live’ coverage CNN was my go-to default channel. MSNBC was just ‘some other’ news channel I just didn’t pay attention to.
I didn’t become a US citizen until 2000, so I just didn’t pay much attention to political bias until after that point. For me, there was clear bias in the 2000’s around Iraq/Afghanistan - all the pro-D voices and anti-Bush rhetoric. It become even more clear prior to the Obama presidency. It became absurd during the Obama years. The run up to 2016 was just ludicrous - they weren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Trump gave them convulsions for 4 years, exposing their inner demons. The flip-of-a-switch in the media, back to softball quesitons, now a demented D POTUS got into office exposes just how pathetic it has all become.
I’m sure it’d been going on for decades prior to my realizations but there were far fewer sources available. When I look a the actual history of the D party I realize it must have been going on far longer than I want to know.

There was bias but it wasn’t in your face in the 1990s like it is now. Rush Limbaugh used parody to make fun of it, but you are correct, during Obama’s regime they didn’t try to hide it anymore.

Rush LimbaughDamn, I miss him and his commentary. Nobody does it better.

I often wonder what he would say about the state of the country, how far it’s fallen in just a few short years.

To: windsorknot
He used to say he’d tell us when it’s time to panic. I think the lion has roared already.

FOX NEWS has ordered that no one there can mention Tucker’s name.
https://freedomheadlines.com/freedom-wire/fox-news-employees-banned-from-mentioning-this-person-on-air/
But just to demonstrate just how ridiculous it’s become. Ed Henry, from Real America’s Voice said that they’re not even allowed to mention Tucker Carlson at Fox News.
Now, I want to quickly get to another point about FOX. So this gentleman, Chadwick Moore, used to be a frequent guest on FOX, but he decided to write a biography on Tucker. Right? And when Tucker was there, they were like, oh, yeah, carte blanche, we’ll do interviews. We’ll do it now. Then they fired him (Tucker). They don’t want him (Chadwick). So they canceled an appearance the other night. There was a big hullabaloo, and he revealed that they had a new policy over there…
… He says, so they reversed that policy, and they’re going to allow you on if you have a non-Murdoch book. But then he’s saying that insiders at FOX, if you go to the next one (Tweet), are telling him privately that all on-air talent, Karen, have been banned from saying the name “Tucker.”

Moore is part of the homosexual pundit group.
He and Dave Rubin, Jason Rantz and Glenn Greenwald.
I don’t understand how the can be so right on conservative thought and still not get how wrong they are continuing their path of sin.
Kind of fits with the new woke FN though.

Musk hiring someone who used to work at NBC doesn’t mean that NBC magically now owns Twitter.You’re right of course.
Maybe not everyone believes that Twitter is big media, but with Yaccarino and Joe Benarroch, also from NBCU - it looks to be heading in that direction.
