Very rarely does he get challenged by people who are prepared. Whenever that happens he goes into his defense mechanisms. Insults, playing dumb, pedantic questions, laughing, and finally cutting the interview short.

ALLUDING to Fox protecting billionaires' interests, if only to ensure the discussoin made it to air.
Mad-making and trolling are great but you had a huge opportunity to air a unique and informed opinion to a viewership that needs it more than more liberal ones, on a network that habitually shies away from it.

Unless you bring up their weird blackface Santa helper they do around Christmas.
LOL @ inviting someone who told everyone at Davos that they're the problem with the world and getting mad when he points out your right-wing network that's part of one of the largest media empires on Earth is also bad. Did he think he was going to go "Fox News is cool, though" when he talked about billionaires?

People falling for the fucking okey doke so easily. Carlson, as always, was not bringing that dude on in good faith. It was yet another attempt to try and paint the rich liberals as hypocrites. And when the dude turned the tables on him he snapped because he's stupid and couldn't see it coming.

for calling Trump a moron for his national emergency.
not to say everyone retweeting her didn't know the larger picture here, but i'd say a good number of the "i cant believe I agree with ann coulter" people were unaware that her beef with Trump on this is that she finds his hatred of mexicans lacking.
23. "Yeah, just highlight other people making the same argument" In response to Reply # 21
Tons of people who aren't Ann Coulter call Trump a moron every day. There are lots of people who can credibly speak out against Forever War and the military industrial complex who don't host white supremacist TV shows on Fox News, RT one of them and tell Tucker to STFU.

if even your "enemies" can't disagree, so liberals will always be quick point out if even Fox is shitting on Trump for something, or Conservatives will say "even CNN says.."
but cases like Coulter's comments, or Tucker here, as Brew already pointed out his goal was clear, but people are latching onto one detail or comment an running with it like wow Tucker is getting some things right. I mean imagine getting duped by Tucker Carlson.

but 'progressives' like nomiki konst regularly go on the fox news primetime block and treat them like a friendly outlet. nina turners top aide tezlyn figaro used to go on fox news and praise trump and bash immigrants *while* she was working at 'our revolution' and dead in the middle of the daca fight. even through all of this...nina turner was trying to promote her to chief of staff.

So true. It's like ahhh no sorry guys, she's not suddenly having an attack of conscience and empathizing with asylum seekers. She's going after 45* for not racisming aggressively enough.

Like if they just highlight this one person's good point, they'll start dealing with you in good faith. And it NEVER works, because the conservative movement is designed to crush opposition, not reason with it.
* I'm using left to mean anywhere left of center, because you obviously see it with more moderate politicians like Biden or Klobuchar, but there is a strain of it farther left, too.

It's shocking how slow they've been to recognize it.

i dont think thats the cause of it tho.
like in 2017 there was a legit effort from far lefties and alt righters to merge and fight corporate media.
a lot of white liberals/progressives dont view racism as an existential threat. just a difference of opinion. so you get shit like 'hey...tucker carlson (the most white supremacist friendly host on cable news) isnt really that bad. he actually has some pretty good views on things'

the streets worldwide will be bolstered and actual policy and elected officials that reflect these views will show up while the elites will be rightly shook as they feel increasing heat.

This “historian” actually believes the rich paid those top marginal rates? In the ‘50s? Tax avoidance was much easier and rampant in the ‘50s. Just another guy who wants to go back to their “glory days”, along with Trump, Sanders, populist right wingers and progressive lefties.

but I would rather see these folks have to start hiding at 70% than at 23% or whatever it is right now.
