Thread: FOX "news"

I particularly liked the way he shot down that irrelevant bs about the middle class.

Tucker Carlson in trouble. Advertisers pulling their spots. Astro-Zeneca is the most noticeable one missing from his show.

Tucker Carlson Vows ‘We Will Never Bow to the Mob,’ But Some Big Advertisers Have

Tucker Carlson took to Fox News Channel’s 8 p.m. slot knowing he had the full support of the cable-news network’s regular viewers. He did not enjoy the same backing from big blue-chip advertisers.


Fox News’ broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Monday night featured just four ad breaks and very few big national commercials, relying instead on direct-response ads and sundry promos for other Fox News programs and properties distributed by its parent company, 21st Century Fox. The show featured a strong monologue by the host, who responded on TV for the first time to the revelation by liberal advocacy group Media Matters of troublesome remarks Carlson made years ago on a radio talk show about celebrities as well as a convicted cult leader who was known to have organized marriages between his adult male followers and underage girls.

It wouldn't surprise me if he is fucking paedo. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

His sorry-not-sorry characterized his comments in defense of child rape as "naughty".

What a loathsome fuck-knuckle.

This sums it up perfectly. A must watch....

What at do you base your conclusion on?

Bawhahaha. The jackass has screwed himself again. Can he really believes what he says or just says it for his lunkhead viewers? Or Carlson is trying to get out of his Fox contract to move to ONN?

Tucker Carlson, Now on Vacation, Could Face More Advertiser Defections

Amid the backlash to the host calling white supremacy a "hoax," Nestlé confirmed that it won't advertise on his Fox News show in the future.

Tucker Carlson, who abruptly announced plans for a vacation at the end of his Fox News show on Wednesday night, will not be hosting Tucker Carlson Tonight on Thursday. But he's surely hoping the show will feature a full load of advertisements, two days after he incited a fervent online backlash with a monologue dismissing the prevalence of white supremacy.


With the country still reeling from an apparently racism-inspired shooting in Texas on Saturday, Carlson called white supremacy a "hoax" and said "it is actually not a real problem in America." He also called it "a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power."

Fox News Guest Confronts Anchor Live on Air: 'Why the Hell Does Tucker Carlson Still Have a Job Here?'


When Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman Michael Blake appeared on Fox News today, co-anchor Bill Hemmer asked Blake what he thought of Tucker Carlson's theory that Michelle Obama would run for president in 2020. Carlson posited on his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, that Michelle Obama's potential candidacy was the reason Barack Obama had not given current Democratic candidate and former vice president Joe Biden his endorsement.Hemmer asked Blake if he would like to see the former first lady campaign for the presidency, but Blake had a question of his own for Hemmer.

"Well, she is not running but the core question is why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here in the first place?" Blake asked. "The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy is a hoax and why does Fox allow him to still be here in the first place?"

"Alright, well I mean his opinion there was that Michelle Obama may get in this race," Hemmer pressed. "Do you think that will happen or is it not going to not?"

"Not going to happen," Blake replied, "but I think the core question is he shouldn't be on here at all."

"I got it," Hemmer said as he attempted to rein the interview in. "We didn't bring you on to talk about Tucker Carlson. I brought you on to talk about the Democratic field."

Blake brought Fox News back into the conversation after Hemmer said he believed the Democrats were having a difficult time finding a moderate choice for president.

"Regardless of the number of candidates in the field," Blake said, "we're talking about jobs while Trump is ignoring the truth. We're talking about healthcare while he's ignoring the truth. And the question must be, for Donald Trump, for Fox News, for other entities...."

"Listen," Hemmer interrupted. "I didn't bring you on to bash our network. So with all due respect, why don't we just keep it on topic?"

Concerning Michelle Obama, Carlson also noted Obama adviser David Axelrod's "scorched earth" campaign against Biden and the fact that Barack Obama's presidential memoir is slated to be released during the Democratic primaries.

"In other words," Carlson said, "at exactly the moments when Democrats will be thinking deeply about how to beat Donald Trump, America will be talking about the Obamas. Coincidence? Maybe it is."

Carlson's incendiary statements on white supremacy from August which Blake referred to in his opening comments brought Carlson criticism from a number of areas. Carlson downplayed the prevalence of white supremacy in the U.S. by saying it was "actually not a real problem in America."

"This is a country where the average person is getting poorer," Carlson said, "where the suicide rate is spiking. 'White supremacy. That's the problem.' It is a hoax. Just like the Russia hoax."

"It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power," Carlson concluded.

Fox News, Murdoch-Owned Papers Urge Trump to 'Leave Office With Dignity'

Fox News hosts and editorial boards at two of Rupert Murdoch's largest newspapers are demanding President Donald Trump either present evidence or immediately cease allegations of "voter fraud," urging him to "leave office with dignity" should he be unable to disprove his defeat.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Friday night prepared Trump supporter viewers to "accept an unfavorable outcome" of the president losing, hours before her network called the presidential election in favor of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. On Saturday, The Wall Street Journal and New York Post editorial boards, both owned by Murdoch's News Corp., published op-eds calling on Trump to immediately drop the baseless "stolen election" narrative he continues to tweet four days after Election Day. Just one month after the Post labeled Trump "an invincible hero," the paper's editors are now urging him to "wish Biden well" and concede instead of promoting "baseless conspiracies."
