“Tucker Carlson is a dangerous mis-informer.”

Angelo Carson, president of non-profit watchdog group Media Matters.

No. He’s not a mis-informer, he’s a dis-informer. 

He knew he was lying.

So, what happened?

In 2020  Donald Trump  lost the election to Joe Biden. Conservatives in America – Trump supporters – didn’t like it, they believed Trump’s lie that he had won … not withstanding evidence to the contrary, namely more than sixty court cases where Trumpists tried to overturn the election result – all to no avail, they lost all off them!

Fox News made it their business model to support the lie and promote it … especially their most prominent anchor, Tucker Carlson.

However, it is now clear he – and his  colleagues – knew better; they knew the truth … yet – in a monumental act of hypocrisy – they promulgated the lie.

Rupert Murdoch told a court – under oath – just that … they all knew Trump had lost; they discussed it among themselves. In fact Rupert Murdoch said under oath that he believes the 2020 presidential election was free, fair and not stolen … yet, they kept lying about it … until they tried to tell the truth.

But something unexpected happened … the mugs who are the key co-conspiritors – their base audience – didn’t like the truth. They wanted to be lied to. They shifted their attention to even more far-right, conspiracy driven news services, like Newsmax. 

Fox lost audiences and – most importantly – income.

Well, that could not be tolerated, so they reverted to telling their lies … and their audience, the gullible deplorables – described so vividly and memorably by Hillary Clinton – happy to be again told what they wanted to hear … returned to the fold.

Then Fox lost the court battle with Dominion Voting Systems … and Tucker Carlson got fired; the rest – as they’ll say – is history.

As an aside: 

I never ever – in all my forty years of watching ABC or SBS news – have heard a news-anchor talk about that they are telling the truth, while other news outlets are telling lies. Carlson labors that point ad nauseam in his monologues. However, listen to how he lied to his audience in the below MSNBC video clip … remember, on air – to his audience – he is the greatest Trump supporter, indeed supposedly a friend. However: Trump  was a “demonic force” and “a destroyer”.  CB
