is there no way to get Tucker off the air. The guy is a menace to society and in my honest opinion he is a domestic terrorist.

Weird, last time I went sightseeing I didn't need to break in to any of the places I saw and I certainly didn't steal anything and most definitely did not deficate outside of a designated restroom...

Reposting the best comment on Tucker: Well, was there anyone who didn't see this coming? Was Carlson even near a tv on January 6? Just sightseers? Sure...they were just tourists who coincidentally wanted to lynch the Vice President. Tourists who couldn't locate a washroom so they crapped on Nany Pelosi's desk. Regular folks who didn't want to wait in line for admission, so they broke windows and battered down doors. Peaceful citizens who pepper-sprayed Capitol police and beat them with flagpoles. And it was purely a coincidence that they were there at the time when the election of Joe Biden was being legally certified by Congress. Yep, that all makes perfect sense. Nothing to see here...move along.

I *know* what I saw on January 6, as it was broadcast live, and am insulted that Tucker wants us to believe the mob was really just “tourists” visiting the Capitol building!

Excellent and clear synopsis. The audacity of Carlson, after he and his network have been exposed as liars, is breathtaking. I always wonder how low humans have sunk if they still can believe this stuff. Thanks for yet another succinct piece of writing.

One of the best rebuttals to Tucker Swanson Carlson's theatrical display is the video of Rep. Andy Kim cleaning up the capitol after 1/6. https://apnews.com/article/andy-kim-cleans-capitol-siege-c5a303337cd63e4312ef7e1a17509371

Let us call a spade a spade. Tucker Swanson Carlson is a whore of the 7th Avenue variety complete with the lips signaling a great blow job. He will do anything for more money than his family already put on his silver spoon. Murdoch is his pimp. It is nothing more, and nothing less.

Again, your moderate Republican follower, agreeing with you on the distorted and foolish Tucker Carlson handling of January 6 in connection with which, after due process, 80 or more were convicted or agreed to penalties. Unfortunately, these distorted pieces are prelude to yet another Trumpian attempt to push aside more responsible Republicans and become the Republican nominee in 2024 and almost certainly the loser in that election.

It's almost laughable. Almost. FOX has sucked the face off their role as a tabloid, delivering pure trash with a wink and a nod and a salacious show of a hairy leg.

They are simply providing their viewers shoddy cover from which to spout dizzying perversions and in return maintaining their viewership.

Their pact is as obvious as it is grotesque.

But, unfortunately, this unholy empire has contributed to a zeitgesit awash in deep-seated and ill-mannered acrimony with some devastating consequence, and therefore should be held accountable, every last vile voice.

If you find the right footage, any BLM protest was just a bunch of tourists. Does Carlson apply his logic to them?

So many Americans have succumbed to blanket “either/or” reasoning. Has that always been true but they just haven’t voiced it? Or is it the result of relentless propaganda that nothing can be a mix?

Thank you! Between Joyce Vance, Heather Richardson Cox, and YOU(!) I know that there are grounded, ethical people who aren't afraid to speak truth and address our current chaos.

I don't know what I do without all of you...and I don't want to find out!

The woman who was president of my senior high school class (waaaay back in 1985 in Georgia) was at Jan 6, and has fallen straight down the Fox News/Tucker Carlson rabbit hole of lies. She is posting nonstop on Facebook today about all this BS - and there is no reasoning with these people.

And apparently the egotistical man-child who owns Twitter is amplifying ALL of this on his platform.

Tucker Carlson is a rather obvious liar. Can he not be called out or prosecuted for that? Because he's such a liar, why does he even matter anymore. Sheesh!

This had better backfire and do so spectacularly!

Actually with the CRAP convention just happening the timing is not all that surprising to me. They are, unfortunately, still holding up tRump as their leader and with all the ongoing investigations they are desperate to show "nothing was out of line" on Jan 6. I truly believe there are some that are still on the tRump fence due to Jan 6 and they want those people back on their side. I mean will all the convictions they've had so far all of us non cult victims know it's a lie but those people can still be persuaded because if it's on Fox it must be true. Here we are 3 years later and I am still unable to comprehend the appeal tRump has and how so many still support him. I honestly didn't think we would be here at this point in time :( Also just to prove how disgusting F-ucker Carlson is he calls into question the death of a police officer? But but but tRump is an avid police supporter right?? Makes me sick.

Anyone who still believes the faux narrative coming from Fox is just being willfully ignorant they believe because it fits the narrative they want to believe even if they saw with their own eyes. How do people become this gullible?
