As I understand it Carlson didn’t need a measly $15 million.

I remember all the times when Tucker strongly criticized Trump and especially mocked and criticized Gaetz on live TV.
Today, Tucker tries to “make friends” with Trump.

Anyway, Tucker has changed in a weird way.
How he protects Americas worst archenemies by appeasing and normalizing them is truly concerning. He seems to be compromised. Maybe he is forced to say what he says. The Kremlin NeoSoviet regime is in love with him. He has become Russia’s greatest propaganda tool right in the middle of America. Kremlin use his videos all the time for domestic Russian TV consumption.

Tucker Carlson made one video on the subject and he was rather nuanced about it. That’s not him. But I don’t really see him as a sell-out. I think he sees whatever happens in Israel as not our problem. That’s consistent to his views in Ukraine.

Tucker being “nuanced” after the attacks:

Didn’t condemn Hamas.
Didn’t condemn Iran.
Didn’t give statement of 100% support for Israel.

Now Tucker has gone into hiding again just like he did in Nov and Dec 2020 while the election was being stolen from President Trump.

How do you know he’s Muslim? There are other religions represented in the Persian community…

Maybe he should turn that money down.

Not sure I am familiar with that one. If you know where it is located, I’ll post it. 🙂

I looked it up. When bank of America fired him, he said it was because he was a muslim. (2019) Unless he’s denounced Islam in the last 4 years, he’s a muslim. I know there are non-practicing muslims; my cousin is married to one. But if they’re truly non-practicing, they should renounce islam.

So for some people, Tucker Carlson has gone the way of Ann Coulter. It helps if you see people’s faults up front. Then you aren’t so angry. Ann was always a little crazy. Tucker was always at least in part a bowtied, privileged preppy, and never the Man of the People that he pretends to be. But I don’t think Tucker is anywhere near as discredited as Coulter is. If every disagreement leads to hatred, one will be very lonely.

P.S. If it helps, Omeed Malik was born in New Jersey.

No, I was talking about the little part of the opening post’s video where she falls into the airplane — LOL! Never get tired of seeing that!

But I love the new ad you sent me. Thanks!

Sorry; it wasn’t the OP, it was your previous post 25 that had the little part about Hillary in it.

Fox never controlled his content.

Why have they refused to air Tucker's personal interview with then Capital police chief, Steven Sund?

Since the video is the property of Fox, Tucker has subsequently held another interview with the chief and aired it on his platform.

Neil Patel’s Poynter Institute:

Does Poynter Have An Obsession with Blacklisting Conservative Media?
NewsBusters ^ | 2/15/2023 | Joseph Vazquez
Posted on 2/15/2023, 1:25:59 AM by JV3MRC

The liberal Poynter Institute for Media Studies seems to have an obsession with conservative media outlets getting put on blacklists.

The Washington Examiner exposed how the State Department and liberal Big Tech giant Microsoft actively bankrolled the leftist British group Global Disinformation Index (GDI). GDI was reportedly “feeding blacklists to ad companies with the intent of defunding and shutting down” conservative websites “peddling alleged ‘disinformation.”’ GDI’s blacklist included news sites like The Daily Wire, RealClear Politics, Breitbart, Newsmax, One America News, The Daily Caller, The Washington Times, the Examiner and Blaze Media. The former associate director for Poynter’s George Soros-funded International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), Cristina Tardáguila, represents Poynter and its IFCN on GDI’s advisory panel.

In 2019, the MRC exposed Poynter for creating a conservative media “UnNews” blacklist of its own, with some of the names conveniently making their way onto GDI’s list just a few years later. Poynter would later retract the list after severe political backlash. The fact that its name is represented on the advisory panel of a group that is also blacklisting conservative media is damning. MRC Free Speech America reached out to Poynter by phone and email to inquire as to whether Tardáguila was actively representing the organization on GDI’s advisory panel in an official capacity and whether if it had any ongoing relationship with GDI. MRC received no response as of the publication of this article.

Neil Patel also, cloaked in an otherwise conservative-sounding article on the Hunter Biden laptop, dropped in a comment alleging the owner of the computer repair store was inconsistent.
