That was ****ing incredible, the entire thing

Brilliant - Rutger Bregman ftw.

One of the best parts is right at the end



yeah right.

"Tucker is someone who appreciates many points of view as long as they agree with his own. Sadly, the guest turned an opportunity to have a calculated, uninformative discussion into an obviously substantive, informative discussion. We were disappointed in the segment and respect our audience's operant conditioning too much to consider airing it."

lol can't stop watching that history dude hand Cucker his ass on his own show

in this instance I think Tucker was kind of willing to have a 'fair' discussion as the rest of the world would define it, as opposed to his normal ****box show, and this guy dunked on him.

good. **** him. life comes at you fast.

Lmao that cucker segment was beautiful

Tucker video should be posted in one of the non dumpster threads imo.

I don't mean to yuck your yum here if you enjoy his show, but yes.

And the thing is, in I vacuum I mostly agree that comic books are low-brow junk food entertainment aimed at children*. But Mahr's intentionally being such a colossal dick about it. Why **** on comics on the eve of Stan Lee's death? That's not an interesting or funny take, he's just being obnoxious to get attention. It's like if Vin Scully dies and I use the occasion to tell everyone that baseball is a boring-ass kids game. I'd just be trolling.

Also, why is Mahr lecturing anyone on grown-up entertainment? Dude got his start telling Lewinsky blowjob jokes, spare me the lectures on highbrow culture.



* -- I too enjoy comic book movies, don't @ me.

So apparently the new rallying cry at Fox News is that Cory Booker is going to force veganism on all of us if he wins. Stockpile meat, America! Hannity says so... (Last couple minutes of the clip)

NPR did an interview with Bregman last week. He rocks.

What comments about Muslims could would get Fox opinion host fired? Can you provide an "inflection comment", i.e something you think would make Pirro/Dobbs ~50% to keep their job?

Everything I'm sure they'd get fired for veers into criminal speech. e.g overt genocidal promotion. Below that I'm struggling to think of something I'm sure they'd get fired for - either it gets handwaved or Fox forces them to "clarify" their comments (perhaps with a suspension).

Tucker Carlson was a regular call in to Bubba the Love Sponge's show

and you totally will believe his views on underage women

How did I not know this till now?

In a normal world he'd be instantly canned for this but nothing matters.

Jesus

I like how people in that Twitter thread are analyzing how the photo was altered.

"His nose is definitely not his."

FANTASTIC OBSERVATION

Lol they did the same to that guys boss. Nasty mofos.

"A spokeswoman said the executive in charge of “Fox and Friends” is on vacation and not available for comment but added that altering photos for humorous effect is a common practice on cable news stations."

Is it?

Chris Hayes is going in on Tucker Carlson with new homophobic and racist audio. What I don't get about this stuff is - wasn't it on a popular radio show? Did it not air back then? I keep hearing people say they "uncovered" this or whatever and then the credit is the "Bubba the Love Sponge Show" which I have actually heard of, and I assume had a pretty big audience.

What's your point?

I'm wondering if these comments aired on a national radio show back in 2006 and 2008.

They did

Tarlson was a nobody back then

I guess it's weird that it never got attention until now. Probably because things didn't "go viral" as easily back in the day. Or maybe he was less of a big deal than he is now.

People knew Tucker primarily as that bowtie guy who lost his job because John Stewart burned him to a crisp. Then MSNBC picked him up because of course they would.
