Heslam: With Tucker Carlson pick, Fox takes step backward
Boston Herald ^ | January 06, 2017 | Jessica Heslam

Posted on 01/06/2017 5:06:39 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

Fox’s choice of conservative stalwart Tucker Carlson to replace trend-bucking news star Megyn Kelly is a telling pick — a rightward shift back to what the channel’s viewers are used to.

“Sure is a lot of white guys in the evening, huh?” Evil white male ping!

How convenient for the writer to contact someone with that mentality.

How about the lack of conservative voices on television?

Liberals are predictable, boring, and not really useful for anything except for mundane tasks.

“Journalism” and “think tank” should never be used in the same sentence.

I personally don’t like this move.

I don’t have cable or satellite. I’m able to catch most of Tucker’s show on my drive home from work, listening on XM radio in the truck.

I know, I’m selfish.

““He’s not going to be a big star,” Rivers said. “He’s not going to match Megyn Kelly, who just had this star power.”

And Donald Trump hasn’t a chance of being elected president.

Idiots!

Natural Selection picked the white male to be on top. There are reasons why. Liberals believe in natural selection. Tilt.

White males. The only group of people in America who can be descriminated without defense. I say this as a person of color myself. Notice in the whole “hacking the election” narrative the color of the people being accused. Why those Russians happen to be white!

It’s not about ideas with these people. Only skin color and dress-up insanity.

I showed the article to a female friend. Her immediate reaction was “Still upset the prettier girls got dates in high school.” Whatever, the article does sound as if it was written by a college journalist trying to get in favor with the femme crowd.

As a once long time viewer, I had abandoned Fox completely after Greta left. It was the only show I watched anymore.
Tucker brought me back and I am glad he got the 9 p.m. slot.
The fact that it ticks off the leftists is just icing on the cake.

Al Tompkins: http://about.poynter.org/about-us/our-people/al-tompkins

So we can expect CNN and MSNBC to both be kicking Fox’s butt by exactly what date, All Tompkins?

You are correct sir. Truth, to a libtard, is like a crucifix to a vampire. They have minds like steel traps. Rational thought can never enter.
