Under current defamation law, it's almost impossible to sue over statements of "opinion," so libel defendants usually rely on that defense.

Can’t Tucker declare he is a Google and be immune from lawsuits?

Tucker does not belong to Fox News news division. If he did, he would not be allowed to say what he says. He would have to be like the Ed and Sandra morning gig and be a Trump hater.

Problem is regular news no longer does sober factual reporting, as opinion has crept into everything they do, so a real opinion show today looks/appears more like a news show.

Its not that opinion shows have changed, its the news shows that have changed and look closer to opinion shows.

Atractive but something is clearly not right behind those eyeballs.

Interesting tactic. I gave up the msm 5 years ago. But I watched Tucker all last week on YT)

And Tucker regularly states plainly that his show is opinion, not news. He makes no claims to be a “news caster,” unlike Don LaMon.
