Tucker has totally lost control of his interviews. The slimy liberals have learned to just talk over him and never let him get a word in edgewise. Too bad, I use to look forward to his show. Now it has become a platform for the rabid, insane left.
The other problem is that if we REALLY wanted to watch the crazy brigade, we can always watch MSNBC, CNN, or the networks. There's NOTING "fair" nor "balanced" about Tucker's show.
His guests now know how to answer him. They just talk over him, spew out what they want to say, and he has no choice but to talk over them and hope they stop. Normally they don’t.....this is what the left is doing now - just keep talking and don’t let anyone else get a word in. Half the time we’re just listening to two people talking at the same time and it’s very annoying.
They need to be instructed not to do that, or the mic will be cut. It’s not impossible. I won’t say much good about Megyn Kelly, but she didn’t seem to have this problem often. She asked a question and let them answer. They seemed to be aware that they should answer the question and not filibuster.
Actually, I like Tucker, but sometimes I find him just a little too rude...especially when he laughs at his guests. That’s never a win, IMHO.
When this point is reached, it’s no longer time for talking.
Obviously, some of them try to shout over him and, on several occasions, have been successful at it. But to say that Tucker has done poorly in general, or that he hasn't frequently been very effective at rebuttal is the height of distortion.
As I said, Tucker Carlsen does better than most others I can think of. He didn't just get handed that highly sought after time slot on Fox for no reason.
Recently, I have seen some fluctuation in the amount of control he exercises and achieves, however. Hopefully he will curtail those who simply can't stop talking over him.
As is often the case, the truth doesn't always lie at either extreme...
Quite frankly I couldn’t care less who you are or who I am posting to. When I make claims like I did they are usually backed up. Not that I care to satisfy your inane curiosity.
Gotta go. My time for those who have nothing better to do that sit on FR and complain all night is up.
He did very well with the Wash Post.
I think he is still watchable, and far better than the other crap which is on.
me too, I tune him out or change channel when he comes on
agreed. I like him, but do think there are some which he needs to cut in and stop with their talking points.
Fox News has become unwatchable.
Give them enough rope. If they were not on FOX would we ever get to see these fools, if they were domesticated animals, would be prime candidates for extermination due to rabies? That twit who is a middle school teacher he had on last night was total arrogance with extreme infection. The only thing missing from her appearance was the white foam drooled.
Sure it gnaws at my soul to see these fools, but in order to understand your enemy, you have to know them. My greatest arguments against them, when debating more salient people, comes straight from their rants.
Tucker let that Social Justice Wimp and grade sckkoool teach have the floor because she is super crazy.
Just thinking the same tonight...had to shut it off. Apparently Tucker has lost his fire...so sick of the libertard’s newest platform = Tucker Carlson’s show
I agree. Well put.
If anything, he’ll run out of idiots who are willing to appear on his show.
I like Tucker but have decided that he is not suitable dinner time viewing - too confrontational.
It is a bit frustrating, but these clowns have never been challenged and expose their idiocy nightly. The WaPo interview was a beaut.
Also, THE FIVE ( which I can't stand, but have put it on, when I mistake the time, so have, unfortunately seen a few times ) does this too, sometimes, but with better control. Also, the "FRIEND" bit at the end of his show, has been done and done and DONE, on FNC, on other shows, many times over!
Sadly, Tucker's show was badly thought out, is badly done, the choice of guests is not helpful, and whilst some here enjoy it, that doesn't mean that it's a good or even watchable show.
The 9 o'clock shows, since Hannity was kicked out of that time slot, have gone from bad, to very bad, to worse.
That’s what I’ve been thinking, but I must say it’s not nearly as fun to watch as it was in the beginning.
He used to hit them hard by spelling out their hypocrisy and incoherence.
I don't know if I see anybody here saying that.
I do see people saying that if a guest fillibusters when answering a question and won't stop filibustering when the host asks him to stop, then his mic should be cut.
Are you referring to BLOODY KELLY?
All I said was "HOGWASH" and that wasn't referencing BLOODY KELLY at all. Also, SHE turned down a HUGE salary increase and a many years contract, because she wanted to do something else and got it.
