My husband and I have liked Tucker Carlson for years, and I was glad to see him replace egomaniac MEgyn Kelly. (Yeah, I know - he's not quite as conservative as us FReepers.)
However... we're getting kind of tired of the nightly parade of lefties that Tucker 'takes on' every night. Lefties who get waaaay too much air time. Sometimes these sessions result in more of a draw than a 'win' for Tucker. Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?
Thought it was just me. Shall we tell him ?
I am right there with you. VERY frustrating when the lefties (keep) getting away with ‘waaaaay too much’.
Hopefully, he’ll get some pushback on FB and Twitter....and take the hint.
You're NOT the only one, Nutmeg.
Exactly one week ago (2/3/2017, 10:30 AM Eastern) I posted the following....
"Tucker Carlson has GOT to stop the enemies of America he books for his shows from DOMINATING his program's air time.
"He allows his Never-Trump, socialist and commie guests to go on and on, filling the ether and my front room with leftist propaganda...segment after segment.
"At too-long intervals, he tries to get back control of what SHOULD be back-and-forth debate (without over-talking) but he fails almost every time......and I'm getting sick of it.
"His show is getting unwatchable as these enemies of our Republic use the platform Tucker affords them to skillfully filibuster, to over-talk and to interrupt him....and to orate endlessly in a dominating fashion.
"Tucker's little squeaky attempts to get a word in edgewise here and there are mostly colossal failures.
"We love ya, Tuck.....and we want you to book and expose these crafty operators in your skillful way, but whose show is it anyhow, yours or theirs ???
"GET BACK IN CHARGE OF YOUR SHOW !!! "
Though I'm probably the only one here to do so, I sent a link to that pertinent FR thread about his show to him via Fox with a polite note....plus I sent a duplicate copy to him at Fox via U.S. mail...each with a request for an answer or an acknowledgment....so far no soap.

Other time's the interviews work as a warning of what we're up against. That's important.
Last night's interview with the ‘liberal’ college student who believed in ‘free speech for all Americans’ was wonderful. He supported Milo being allowed to speak... It hearkened back to a time when democrats were ‘the other team’ - - not the ‘mortal enemy’ of all that is good.
But a little goes a long way when it's die hard apologist for evil... those interviews could be scaled back. It's not like we're not exposed to liberal thought - it's the sea we swim in. Maybe Tucker should start the show with the stuff we enjoy and move the ‘liberal showcase’ segment to a place 15 minutes AFTER the show starts. That said, I trust Tucker Carlson's instincts. He's still new to this - he'll be tweaking the show for the next year or two...
