I figured we needed a thread specifically about the media.

There was a very big correction recently by the Washington Post.


That story was supposedly "independently confirmed" by CNN, NBC News, USA Today, ABC News, & PBS News Hour. How could they all have gotten the quote wrong if they actually independently confirmed the story?






Why do all the errors always go in one political direction and not closer to 50/50?

He was absolutely fired, with hints that the Abby Grossberg allegations were the final straw.

Another source points to Grossberg lawsuit, at least in part:

Interesting that pushing him out came from Murdoch.

Carlson to CNN and Lemon to Fox just to give those two networks some resemblances of balance.

How about not and they both just fade away?

Would be hilarious, but Carlson has already completed the trifecta. I think Lemon goes to NBC.

That won't work, the 2 are not equal and I mean both the networks and the "talent".

Carlson aside, Lemon has a problem. Misogyny is a pretty serious charge in today's world and the charge seems to be well supported.

No doubt. I'm not sure he's got a place at a major news outlet for a bit. He's gonna have to rehab his image, and I'm not sure he will. He's got a huge ego and I'm not sure he thinks he has a problem.

This is certainly a take on what Tucker does next, just linking the first tweet in the thread because there’s some language. Wilson is always colorful and fun to read, even if you don’t necessarily agree with his conclusions:

Yeah, I saw that interview and thought that was cringeworthy. Maybe not enough on its own to get him fired, but coupled with his other issues, yeah.

Fwiw, he wasn't entirely wrong, but I think the approach in the interview was ill-advised. But then, this isn't really new. He's done that to his guests before. Maybe not kid gloves, but he has to chill out when doing interviews.

Never been a fan of his tho, so I'm pretty ambivalent about his ouster. I'm pretty happy Tucker is out, cuz fork that guy.

Conservative podcast host and frequent Tucker Carlson Tonight guest Jason Whitlock has equated the firing of Carlson from Fox News as “an attack on God.”

The host made the bizarre claim on his show, Fearless with Jason Whitlock, as what he called a “Truth Bomb.”

“I sit and look at Tucker Carlson and I’ve been coming on his show, it seems like, for eight, nine, years. I don’t even know how long, but I was living out in Los Angeles and I’ve was coming on his show. I don’t know how long it’s been but it’s been a long time,” Whitlock said. “And I’ve watched Tucker Carlson get closer and closer to God, and get closer and closer to the understanding what’s at the heart of what’s going on in America.”

Whitlock went on to claim that Carlson is on the right side of good and evil.

“There’s a spiritual war going on. Good versus evil. People promoting a satanic agenda that wants to sexualize your kids, want drag queens at school and want to mutilate kids’ bodies,” Whitlock claimed. “And he’s a parent. And he’s a man around the same age as me. And it’s like, you start looking at it, and if you look at it objectively, you have no choice but to reach certain conclusions, like, this is an attack on God! And what side am I going to be on?”............

“Tucker Carlson could have sold out and taken every dime that Fox News had. They could have paid that dude 50, 60, 70 million dollars a year. It appears from the outside like, no I’d rather tell the truth. He’d rather face the persecution and have AOC and everybody else, and Keith Olbermann and have all the other idiots, all the other satanic idiots, calling him names and calling him a white supremacist. He’d rather stand on that truth than just take the paycheck and submit. I respect the hell out of him.”...........
