SOURCE: Fox's CEO, Lachlan Murdoch, is considering suspending or firing @TuckerCarlson for insensitive reporting on new court documents that show George Floyd had a fatal level of fentanyl in his system when he died. (developing)

2/ Fox's Lachlan Murdoch heard about Tucker Carlson's 'attack' on George Floyd from Hillary Clinton's former spokesmen Jesse Lehrich who said, "Tucker Carlson smeared George Floyd tonight, claiming he 'almost certainly died of a drug overdose.' (cont)

3/ "...it sickens me that the Floyd family has to endure this depravity, and I hope they sue Tucker & FOX for $3B, which is apparently the only thing that changes their behavior."

Jesse Lehrich:-

Tucker Carlson smeared George Floyd tonight, claiming he 'almost certainly died of a drug overdose.'

it sickens me that the Floyd family has to endure this depravity, and I hope they sue Tucker & FOX for $3B, which is apparently the only thing that changes their behavior.

He DOES have "insight you can't get elsewhere" IN A TIMELY MANNER!!!

Tucker continues to be in front of any other single news media outlet.

Note the importance of "single". I don't have to fish among a dozen smaller outlets to get the important news.

Getting it right, Getting it early, and prioritizing the news that is important to me, is why I continue to watch.

Meanwhile, you pitch a fit about an early AZ election call, for witch the guilty party has been fired.

Thank you for coming back to me on this.

See this is where you try to sound like some expert but come off sound foolish.

Actually, it's called an analogy. At its core, you seem to be saying it is perfectly legit to say Floyd died of a fentenyl OD because the level of drug in his bloodstream was lethal for most of the population. I'm countering, that such a statement isn't fact but is probabilistic opinion - not all people have the same body chemistry. I pointed to lots of evidence, i.e. rock stars who, by your line of argument, are dead due to an overdose but for some reason are still playing bass for Motley Crüe. True, Nikki Sixx's chemical of choice was heroin and not fentanyl, but we weren't arguing the drug, we were arguing the cause of death. As a side note, there is a little thing called the Hennepin County autopsy saying that Floyd did NOT die of an OD, but that's a subset of the discussion.

Have you ever lost a family member to fentynal? This stuff is no joke. Its killing people by the thousands in this country and you equate it to drinking bottle of Everclear

If you want to take up a NEW line of discussion that fentanyl is really bad, well, ok. Factually, you are correct. It is currently the biggest killer among drugs: Deaths involving other synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl) continued to rise with more than 36,359 overdose deaths reported in 2019.

And guess what - alcohol killed 95,000 people by most accounts in 2019. That's tragic, too, as is a stoned parent, a drunk driver who kills, or a mother who ODs on opiates and leaves a son to be raised by his grandparents. Should I cry less for them because fentanyl wasn't the intoxicant? Dead is dead.

it does help to have a graduate degree on the subject.

I've seen really bright and tragically idiotic Ivy League educated people and really bright people without degrees or from state colleges. I've also seen some stupid high school dropouts. Credentials do matter in many fields - I'd like my surgeon to have a medical degree, my lawyer to have gone to law school, and my Marines to have gone to OCS or ROTC or Paris Island.

Beyond a basic or even intermediate level of book knowledge, though, in certain fields experience and absorbing case studies and synthesizing data and information CAN trump "the experts." Fauci is an excellent case in point. I recall early in 2020, reading a NEJM article of his and thinking, "ok...he seems level-headed." Then a few days later he was on NBC being chicken little. Then, he went on FOX Business and was back to being rational. I did some research, found out he was in charge of the nation's Ebola preparedness and used that saga to obtain more funding for his branch of Leviathan, and knew then that he was primarily a bureaucratic opportunist, who will say whatever to get more funding for the CDC and to elevate his star power. Indeed, I suspect you agree with that sentiment, though I suspect you have no experience or expertise in this matter.

I think we BOTH agree, that it'll be very hard for Chauvin to get a fair trial. We've both seen innocent people on Death Row get released on DNA testing done years after the sentencing, OJ walked, and so on. For the record, if he's found not guilty and if evidence comes out that we haven't seen yet, I'm swayable by facts. But to paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart, I know what I saw.

Thanks for listening.
