Watch as Tucker Carlson reams MSM reporter for acting as DNC stenographer attacking Jeff Sessions
American Thinker ^ | November 19, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Members of the mainstream media still are having a hard time understanding that the old days in which they could get away with pretending to be journalists, not propagandists, are fading into memory.  Donald Trump called their bluff, Wikileaks exposed the level of conspiracy between Democrat leaders and journalists propagandists, and the American people confounded the media and supported Trump and Republicans down the ticket.

Nobody is taking better advantage of the new relationship between journalists propagandists and the voting public than Tucker Carlson. I have to say that I am highly impressed with the way he is taking on the shibboleths of lefty journalists propagandists in his new role as host of an eponymous Tucker Carlson Tonight, replacing On The Record with Greta van Susteren in the 7 PM time slot on Fox News Channel. I now faithfully record every new show, and watch for Tucker unsheathing his critical mind and challenging the blatant bias of guests who think the old rules still apply.

Yesterday, in his first segment of the show, Carlson took on Jonathan Allen, a columnist for Roll Call, who published an attack on Jeff Sessions (written prior to his nomination for AG) that, in Carlson’s words, was “one of the most unfair things I’ve ever read…almost like a pure download from the DNC website.”

Prior to the last couple of months, this could be written off by Allen’s MSM buddies as hyperbole. But in the wake of Wikileaks proving that coordination between the bigwigs of the left and media is quite real, and so common that nobody in the Wikileaks emails ever mentions any qualms about conspiring against the public to corrupt journalism.

I may have to begin watching Fox again. Sounds like Tucker has been let out of the starting gate and heading down the stretch. . . maybe will surpass that horseface M. Kelly.

The Lamestream Media is in for a rough time during this administration. During Obama time, they controlled the message. With Trump and his use of twitter, they cannot control it. They will be reactive instead of proactive in the news cycle. Should be fun to watch.

Wish they would put Tucker on at 9:00, and replace the unwatchable Megyn.

The lame stream press will do what they did during the GWB administration, they will harp and harp constantly making it up as they never stop. Patriots will ignore it after a few weeks like a foghorn in the night, but the lemmings on the left will eat up the propaganda as fast as the MSM cranks it out! Knuckle-draggers have a flat learning curve!

It was sweet to watch - Tucker showed him for the charlatan he is and dismissed him at the end, all in a way that had him looking a bit ill for having appeared. he came to gloat and his laziness and lack of any salient facts was shoved up his butt so hard it gave him a bad taste.

Was great watching him go from smug to sick at stomach.

Definitely he is very good. It was the first of his shows that I’ve seen and I knew I would be impressed but surprised it happened as fast with the first guest last night. Priceless..I’m so glad Tucker has that slot!!

“”But he was a pretty acute since of propaganda.””

Is this what happens when people let their “machines” do their talking for them? We always end up hearing “darned phone”. What is the country going to be like in another few years when no one can write what they intended? I’m assuming that’s what happened in this case.

I tried to watch but Tucker is contentiously boring

I watched two of his shows to see how he does. He makes good points and doesn't let his guests get away with anything, but his delivery puts me off. I think he could have given this guy more rope with which to hang himself. He's too anxious to jump in.

Nice thing about Tucker he's pulling in guests from the world - not just the hallways of FoxNews. It's refreshing.

He and Watters are next generation FoxNews...

That said, Tucker's strongest when he sits back and allows us to see for ourselves how irrational the liberal elite in the hot seat really is... questions that showcase that are fun and funny to watch. A little bit of straight on arguing goes a long way... works but can be over done.

That was my thought exactly. The news will spread and the libs will refuse to go on his show.

Tucker Carlson is a Constitutional Conservative and and American Patriot. Glad for him and hope he sticks to truth over the lies of the leftist liberal media types.

[which all parties in the election strive for.]

The left and many rinos will never unite as their striving is against Constitutional Conservative liberties and values.

I have already seen the first homelessness story, in the NYT. You know there’s a Republican White House in the offing when you start seeing the homelessness stories again.
