He also worked for PBS in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your childlike innocence is compelling so it pains me to do this, but apparently he did not believe the election was stolen, as revealed in his private communications, at the same time that he promoted the lie on his show.

A news host doesn't always accept the narrative, but he gives voice to opposing views. Also note the number of people who believe there is significant corruption in out elections is very high. It is not a fringe position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes they identify a target they think is small and inconsequential that they can exploit with their bully pulpit. And sometimes they go too far. And sometimes they get sued for their cynical actions and find themselves facing consequences. And sometimes they settle those lawsuits for 787.5 million reasons of their own. And sometimes their audience of fearful paranoids chooses to ignore all of this because the alternative, admitting they have been lied to for profit, is too painful to accept. Sometimes.

You are correct...you do not see truth being told very often on any news channel...from CNN/Fox to local news, it's all crap and opinions versus actual news. It is exhausting wading through it all to try and find some semblance of truth/news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrog Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Tucker = Don Lemon....with the exception of popularity, Tucker was WAY more popular in terms of viewership than Donny. Guess he was just better than Donny at sensationalizing the news...not even going to call it news, but sensationalizing topics. I actually liked Tucker for a little bit back in the day as he seemed to call the politicians out on their b.s. and non-answers to questions...on both sides, but then over the last couple of years he seemed to have gotten WAY more sensationalized and got pretty whackadoodle on some subjects, thus I quit watching. Never could stomach Donny, he thought he was way smarter than he was and quite frankly came off as an egotistical non-educated A-hole that clearly hates women and white men (even though I think there was a rumor he was dating one)...well his tv persona came off that way.
