We just found out that Tucker Carlson and Fox News have parted ways, so there’s really not much to write about on the situation at present. I’ve never let something like “lack of knowledge” stop me from running my mouth, though, so I’ll continue. The only fact I’m aware of right now is that Fox News took a 930 Million dollar hit in the stock market today. That proves that while he may be a prick, Tucker Carlson is a valuable prick.
I am just getting to this, but I wanted to add my two cents.
Tucker is like the guy who proclaims he a Christian the first five minutes I've met him. First thing I do is move my wallet from my back pocket to my front pocket so I can see him coming.
He's everything that's wrong with politics today. I fear anyone with any shred of decency has looked at a life of public service and exclaimed "There is no way in HELL I will subject myself and my family to such base behavior.
The result is half-bright grifters like MTG, Santos, and various scum and dross on both sides of the aisle. I am not that excited about another four years of Joe Biden, but I'd take him drooling in a wheel chair to Trump and his "I Am Your Vengeance" crowd.
In a PoA crossover out of nowhere, a MotherJones article abou him contained this sentence - "When I met the recently defenestrated Fox host in the late 1990s,"
Love the visual of TC being yeeted out a window at FOX headquarters. His being a low-key Russian propaganda agent makes the reference even funnier!
This is the best thing you’ve written and exactly encapsulates how I feel. His rantings have come between me and my family more than once. It is exhausting. Thanks dear and well done!
Your commentary nailed how I feel about Tucker. His incendiary on-air comments juxtaposed with the texts of what he really thought exposed him for the money-grubbing hypocrite that he is and has always been. I pray that God gives him what he richly deserves...and we'll let God be the judge of that. In my experience, he will get his retribution, and I will sit back with a bowl of buttered popcorn and watch that movie.
Lordy, Lordy, Corey, this is one of your best! I think you should think about a collection of your tweets, essays, shows, etc. that represent what the last 7 years has done to you, your family, your community & your America. A coffee table book. I would buy it! I am serious. Include photos. Some pandemic experience. Your anxiety. Your joy. Your 20,000 steps in the woods exploring Civil War battlefields....it would be inspirational, not to mention teaching others how to develop their own coping skills to get through tough times. There’s no downside to this.
As a retired high school teacher I have to tell you that you have been a blessing to me. You are gifted with words & how to put a bunch of them together to create a message that is sound, wise, hopeful, scorching & worth listening to. I’m so proud of you, your family & your work. You are what this country should be more like. You are why I fight for our democracy! Love you and yours❤️👍
Tucker Carlson and his ilk can eat an industrial-sized bag o' dicks. I no longer have a relationship with my 89-year-old mom because of her being brainwashed into finding it "hilarious" when right-wing comedians joke about killing Democrats by comparing us to dogs that need to be taken out back and shot for being freeloaders, sharing memes of "illegals" taking away resources from homeless veterans, etc. No amount of fact checking or telling her why I was upset would get through to her. "It's just a joke." No, mom, it's not, especially these days. If she wasn't blocked, I could probably go on her Facebook page and see any number of "hilarious" Paul Pelosi Halloween costume memes.
...and I have a serious question. Kevin gave Tucker all the security footage of the capitol from J6. Where is that now, especially considering Tucker’s close relationship with Russian media? 🤔
I wish I could rejoice, but I'm damn sure he was given an amazing severance package.
I damn near alienated my 90-something mother (who lived with me) because she watched Fox News -- she got all weepy and said "Well, I guess I can't watch it now!" I said "Mom, it's your room and your television, you can watch anything you want, but if it's Fox News, just don't expect me to be in the room with you. And it isn't news -- it's propaganda."
Cracked me up when the next day, she was on the phone, whispering in a way that I was meant to overhear ... "well, I can't watch Fox News any more because it makes Marjie ANGRY..."

"I hope you get crabs in your butthole" Love it
Yay, Corey!! You are one hundred percent correct

100% dead on, and he’ll definitely have a podcast in a week sponsored by mypillow and 🍆 hardening pills

While I'm glad to see him go, I'm a little wary because "better the devil you know than the devil you don't know"
His full name is hilarious. One of his middle names is McNear. Mcnear an asswhoppin methinks
A FAFO where both the FA and FO hurt their own side. Nice!
Hear, hear!! Especially the crabs 😁

“The stunning announcement came days after the network settled a high-stakes defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems.” color me unsurprised.
