Tucker Carlson is a f*cking lunatic, white supremacist, mysogynist, and Russian propagandist

My first trip to visit my folks since covid started was over the 4th of July weekend.

Dad's insufferably FOX-addled brain is deteriorating swiftly... if I can't change the subject to something non-political I leave the room, and I stay in another part of the house while he gets his daily download of mental destabilizing propaganda.

I err'd though. I was passing by the den when I saw Lester Holt on the tv and figured, 'well that should be safe enough', so I went in and settled into a chair.

NOPE.

It was F*cker Carlson using a clip of Holt interviewing Harris. F*cker bumbled around his typical "Doesn't it seem like..." "Makes you think!" "why isn't it..." non-statement bs trying to create some narrative about "Why is no one talking... doesn't it seem like, don't you think that ... Kamala Harris ALWAYS laughs *HYSTERICALLY* to deflect 'Difficult Questions'? What's up with that? Why's no one reporting this?" blah blah F*cking blah.

He even played a montage of Harris laughing. Twice I think. Half of the montage was Harris laughing while talking to comedienne Ellen DeGeneres. Queen of the soft-ball questions... but hey, Fox-fans *haaate* 'Ellen Degenerate!' so any shared screen time with her is extra damning.

He went on for 15 soul-rending minutes mud-slinging, muck-raking, being the slimiest shittiest little trolling turd think I've ever seen.

Turned to my dad as I finally had enough and left the room "He spent the last 15 minutes trying to demonstrate something that even his own out-of-context crafted video completely failed to support. Why do you watch this ridiculous bullshit?

Him: "The other channels are just as bad!

Me: "Then don't watch any of them.

So Tucker Carlson is reduced to trying to recycle Alex Jones' old lines -- I seem to recall Jones found Hillary Clinton's "hyena-like" laugh particularly triggering (and possibly proof of her literally demonic nature) -- with added misogyny ("hysterical"), and failing in the attempt.

No wonder he has no advertisers left.

"Tell me what's good about this?"
"It's as bad as the other stuff!!!"

Wut.
Typical lame-ass right-wing defense is purely 'whataboutism' deflection.

At least it's ben a moment since the last time Dad tried to blame Bill Clinton for -everything-. But it took three subsequent presidents to get there.

He tried pulling a 'But what about her emails!' with me once, and I gotta say, as the former email postmaster for a fortune 500 company... my retaliatory strike left such a large black glass crater on his mental landscape that he hasn't dared to bring it up since.

Doesn't stop him from trying to get me riled up on other topics, but at least I'm spared that one.

From July of last year:
Fox News political commentator Tucker Carlson has sold his handsome home in Washington, D.C.’s leafy and affluent Kent neighborhood for $3.95 million after he scooped up a $2.9 million home hidden down a private lane amid riotous tropical foliage on a tiny barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast.
I know a lot of low-income wage earners living in $3 million homes. Usually in the servants quarters.

"I'm, not rich," indeed.

That's a two bedroom in San Francisco.
San Francisco is surrounded by water on three sides and has a lot of building restrictions. So of course prices have only one way to go, up.

4% of homes for sale in Georgia are over a million, and a substantial fraction are on over 50 acres, where a good part of the value is the land.

It's funny how fascists speak truly when they figure their enemies aren't listening in.

The white house should revoke FUXnews's press credentials unless they boot this self-confessed pants-on-fire liar liar off the air.

I recall reading an article where this got brought up in court, and Fox's defense was that no reasonable person should expect Tucker to tell the truth about anything. "It's just entertainment!" or some such ridiculousness.

ETA: Found it.
