Someone, Anyone — Stand Up!
Who will have the courage to protest Putin’s biggest fanboy on Fox News?

Recently, the world watched, with a mixture of astonishment, delight, and concern, as an employee of Russian state television Channel One interrupted the evening news program by coming onto the set, shouting “Stop the war! No to war!” while holding up a large handmade sign that said Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.

News editor/producer Marina Ovsyannikova rushed out behind a female anchor (reportedly Putin’s favorite), who was presenting the national state-sanctioned “news,” with a sign decrying the lies being told there about Putin’s terror war against Ukraine.

....(snip)....

My question is, who will stand up for journalistic integrity here at home behind Fox News Channel’s most vocal Putin cheerleader, Tucker Carlson? It immediately became a meme, but who will actually do it?

You know, Master Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson, pretend populist, who grew up rich because members of the actual proletariat were eating his step-mother’s TV dinners; Tucker-of-the-Inevitable-Bowtie Carlson, who somehow manages to get U.S. males whipped up by strategically fretting about men being emasculated; Tucker of the Perpetually-Confused-Expression, who happily weaponizes stupidity; the Fox News “host” who, with a lot of competition among his colleagues, has stepped up as Putin’s number one apologist in the United States — so much so, that the Kremlin has noted how important it is for their propaganda efforts to showcase Carlson’s work as often as possible.

I planned to give some examples of Carlson’s fawning for Putin, but where does one begin? So many times has Tucker lavished praise on Putin or attempted to undermine Putin’s critics that he is being called the “TuckyoRose” of his generation, and some call for him to be investigated by the Department of Justice. ..........(more)

1. Carlson should be yanked off the air, cable anything. The guy is a terrorist and aiding and abetting

Plus he a perpetual asshole.

3. Yanked off the air by whom?

What laws has he violated?

6. By responsible excutives at FoxZ NewZ. Oh, wait, well, don't hold your breath. . . . nt

8. As long as it's not the govt. I fully agree,

but the chances of Faux exec. yanking him and his show are slim to none, and slim has already left the station.

It's all about the money for Fucker, not the truth.

10. He can't be. Unless Fox decides to go a different route, but he's a money maker. n/t

2. I can't stand to listen to that... thing,

but, from what I read about him, I sometimes get the feeling thatn maybe he doesn't even believe half of what he says. He's making millions, getting all kinds of attention (especially now), and has become a "personality" and a hero to idiots.

IOW, he's nothing more than a low-life pimp.

4. Zucker CarlZon has few or no national advertisers. Loss leader for FoxZ NewZ. . . . nt

5. I'd love to do it, but they won't let me in the building.
