"Oh, you know who else liked breathing air? Hitler!"

Sir. You're better than this.
He weasled in court that nobody sane would believe his bullshit.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson "is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary,' " U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil wrote.

If I took him seriously that would make me an idiot, by his own defense.

At least one host from MSNBC did the same thing and CNN lost a lawsuit because they got caught fabricating a story they wouldn't retract. So unless you're going to say all corporate media is lying all the time, it doesn't matter.

Rachel Maddow did that, though the specific legal argument was slightly different than Tucker's. But that's neither here nor there.

Do you see anybody here posting Rachel Maddow vids, or supporting or defending or mentioning a segment of hers in a positive way........ ever? Even one single time?

So unless you're going to say all corporate media is lying all the time, it doesn't matter.
And there it is. Binary. Either something or someone is perfect and unblemished, or they are 100% corrupt and evil.

Oh they all have spin and bias and partisan agenda? So therefore they're all exactly the same and there is no possible point of difference at all.

Every single time.

I can't criticize him for defending himself in court with bullshit without criticizing everyone who does the same?

Okay. Next time a political teevee host has to defend themselves in court by labeling themselves a bullshit artist, I'll step up.

No, you can't blanket statement that everything someone says is a lie, because they admit they have lied.

If Tucker told everyone to get vaccinated and boosted ASAP, would you say no one should believe him?

Without looking, I think I wondered why anyone would take him seriously after that.
Kind of a blow to his credibility.

This is a serious question. Do you take Tucker Carlson seriously? or everything he says with a large grain of salt?

The question is whether someone's opinions, someone who's an admitted liar, deserves the weight of my confidence.

I've always thought he was a clown. But once you publicly admit you're a clown, you'll always wear a clown's shoes.

Citing him as a source would embarrass me, personally. I would find another.

As I said, if he said "COVID vaccines are great and everyone should get them" would you also throw that baby out with the bathwater.

If he told me the Sun rises in the morning, sure.
Anything already known to be factual, like "My name is Tucker and I can't be trusted to tell you the truth."

You're picking nits, nitty nitpicker

Absolutely nobody here is saying that though, because that's binary simpleton thinking.

Saying that you cannot trust or believe any given political statement that Tucker makes on his word alone, because (by his own admission in court) telling the truth and being honest is not a concern for his entertainment show, is absolutely not the same as saying that every single thing that he ever says on his show is automatically a deliberate lie.

Reeeeeeeeally not that difficult a concept to grasp................. is it????

The consistent and apparently total lack of comprehension of these sorts of very basic distinctions is extremely frustrating.

If Tucker told everyone to get vaccinated and boosted ASAP, would you say no one should believe him?
Hey while you're talking about Tucker and vaccines..... what's his latest stance, as of a week ago?

His guest (of course) doesn't push back in any way, but instead responds with "Thank you for bringing up the Nuremburg trials."

All this while fully vaccinated Tucker is broadcasting from his studio in the vaccine-mandated Fox building, of course.

No doubt we'll see some of your famous "very hard on Tucker" condemnations about that clip and his accompanying hypocrisy.............. right?

Firefighter who joined the Capitol riot had photo of a Democratic lawmaker with a shooting target superimposed over her body, the FBI says

After Williams was arrested following the January 6 insurrection, the FBI searched his home and found the photograph of an unnamed Democratic lawmaker, according to the sentencing memorandum filed on Friday, viewed by Insider.

Along with the shooting target superimposed over her body, a beret with a hammer and sickle symbol was on the lawmaker's head.

During his pre-sentencing interview with law enforcement, Williams said that the target was a "secret Santa" gift from a co-worker, the memo said.

Agents said they also found a roll of "Q" stickers in Williams' home, referring to the QAnon conspiracy theory.

It's true.

I also like that this is the largest investigation in the history of the justice department. That should be telling to people.
I didn't know that!

Trump took their feels and cranked up the "you can't trust anyone but me" volume to eleventy.
I wasn't surprised when it happened, just depressed. Badly depressed.

Many more im sure, these are just off the top of my head.
The lack of trust in media is on leftist msm. Not trump.
