Is Tucker Carlson in politics?
Yes. He’s part of the Nazi party.
Formerly a “news” type with a talk show. Eventually became too extreme even for Fox News.
That wasn’t an honest question, fam, guy’s trying to pretend a well known political pundit spreading propaganda isn’t political.
It was honest. From what I read, and I regret reading it, the article is not political and the scummy pundit isn’t even talking about a politician. IMO, it doesn’t fit this community and should have been posted in !news@lemmy.world instead. I didn’t want to read anything about Tucker Carlson which is why I asked the question.
Thank you
Who the fuck is Tucker Carlson?
A weirdo on TV
A weirdo on the social media site formerly known as Twitter. He’s not allowed on TV anymore.
He was the host of CNN but eventually moved to Fox News and gained quite the following before a misinformation lawsuit caused the company to fire him (fall guy)
In his depression he travelled to Russia and found the passion to start a fake news podcast. And that takes us to today
Ty for the tldr
You sweet child how I envy you.
A pro-Nazi television host who used to have a lot of air time on Fox. He hired white supremacists to write his topics. It was obvious to everyone with multiple brain cells that he is a far-right racist.
Was that the video Musk spread on his Twitter account? I knew it was bad because of Tucker in general - but this?
ended up dead in Nazi concentration camps
Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. “The lamp got broken”.
Good point!
“Man dies of bullet holes in police custody”
“A casualty occurred after a weapon was discharged.”
Cyclist got hit by a car
Oh, so that’s who they’ve got running the media these days. That makes sense.
If the jack boot fits…
bro they have supermarkets? in russia?
Hes a trust fund kid. Probably the first supermarket he’s ever been inside.
Big “Ben Shapiro goes to Home Depot” energy 😄
It’s his best friend Plank.
It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood
First time I’ve seen this one. So many questions!
Allow me to answer a few potential ones:
He went there to support Home Depot’s lack of opposition to the Georgia voter suppression law that made it illegal to give people standing in line to vote food or water
Yes, he’s that much of an anti democracy weirdo
No, he’s clearly never been to a Home Depot or any other home improvement store
No, he wasn’t going to build anything with a single board of wood even shorter than he is
No, there’s no reason other than (completely unnecessary for anyone who knows what Home Depot sells since the name is behind him in letters much taller than him) branding and pure idiocy to put one board in a plastic bag.
Yes, the person working the checkout definitely asked him “are you sure you want me to put it in a bag? We don’t have one that fits…”
Yes, the fact that the unnecessary bag is plastic might well be a childish “haha I’m using oil based resources unnecessarily! In your face, snowflakes!” message to people who care about climate change
Yes, he called the board “magnificent”
Yes, he’s enough of an out of touch weirdo that he did this with a straight face, thinking it would make him look like a badass defender of freedom rather than a sad little weirdo doing performative nonsense to excuse the inexcusable from demagogues on his “side” while demonstrating his “never did physical labor in his life” privilege
Yes, he’s also the guy whose wife is a doctor with a dry ass pussy
I regret having only one upvote
And they sell multiple kinds of bread too!

Well I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
Well, I am shocked! Absolutely stunned. No, no. Wait. I meant unsurprised and jaded.
Pretty sure this is a fact, not an accusation.
The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.
They’re basically the same now, except Bowtie McPutin has actual production values
What is this, 2013?
Are these the same people who claim opposing Israel is “antisemitism”?
Oh somebody finally got around to saying it out loud huh.
I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.
He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letter, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.
That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?
“Accused”?
I’d be surprised if this absolute failure of a human being wasn’t spreading Nazi propaganda.
