Now is the time to remember what Fox's own lawyers said about Tucker Carlson
As Russia prepared to invade Ukraine, the biggest star on Fox News was busy doing what he does best: being thoroughly and appallingly wrong.
He defended the murderous instigator Vladimir Putin while disparaging legitimate heroes like Alexander Vindman, the Ukrainian-born retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former White House national security aide who was a key witness to Donald Trumps abuses of power in his first impeachment and who has warned of Putins aggressions but whom Carlson preferred to paint as some kind of sanctimonious warmonger.

But its important to remember what Carlson is: nothing more than an outrage machine. What he offers is not political commentary. Its Fox-approved nonsense meant to juice ratings and it works.
Dont take my word for it. In 2020, Foxs own lawyers successfully made the case in court that Carlson shouldnt be taken seriously. And a Trump-appointed federal judge agreed.

(9,943 posts)... he has been wrong about this, of course. Biden said what was likely to happen. Also likely is Russia will take over the country as part of the Republic and pick a loyal leader. He will kill naysayers. Tucker will blame Biden, and say this should have been done peacefully, without Biden and NATO causing war.

(10,266 posts)They should respond with 'dude, even your own lawyers said you're completely full of shit and a lying scumbag; it's why you still get to be on the air.'
It should be plastered into a corner of the screen every second hes on the air.
