But then again I would probably wager he's laughing all the way to the bank. The highlighted porton is most likely correct. I don't think he believes or cares about most of the stuff he says. He is just there to make a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker should remember his long ago quote about Bill O'Reily https://www.mediaite.com/tv/old-clip-of-tucker-carlson-accusing-bill-oreilly-of-deep-phoniness-goes-viral-after-texts-showed-carlson-actually-loathes-trump/ Quote Carlson then discusses the quote a length, saying, “That’s right. I said before that that, you know, Bill O’Reilly is really talented, more talented than I am. You know, he’s got a lot more viewers, and I know he’s a better communicator than I am.” But I think there’s kind of a deep phoniness at the center of his shtick. And again, as I say, the shtick is sort of built on this perception that he is the character he plays,” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The lack of ethics inside this organization is just astounding. It won't happen, but they deserve to be dismantled brick-for-brick and to have the earth salted around them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I think Dominion's goal is just to get the big name hosts under oath. Get them to admit certain things under threat of perjury. On record. But the effect will be the same as when Vince McMahon admitted under oath that wrestling was scripted. That was the 90's. Then it took off and became huge. The fans won't care.

It's so obvious. It wasn’t a shock because they didn’t know any better. It was because it was the first time it was ever acknowledged by anyone in the business. Answers were always playfully evasive. This was the steroid trial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 The weird incongruity of the "Rock and Wrestling Connection" that was promoted by MTV was just too much for me. Was never something I liked. There was a weird UHF quality to it in the 70s and early 80s I could enjoy but once it got to my basic cable and was something that was pushing out videos from my favorite bands, i couldn't abide it. Years later to see the divergence of politics between the two, Its really seems odd that ever happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The only way out now for Fox is to settle. I don't know what it would take for Dominion to agree, but I hope they never accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose in a civil suit you cannot force a trial if the defendent agrees to whatever demands were in the initial suit. Just hope they initially made some kind of hard demand for meaningful on air retractions as well as the damages. In fact if a public trial is what Dominion really wanted in the first place, that is exactly what they would have done - made demands for the kind of public mea culpa to which they know Fox would never agree.

oblong Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I don’t know the mechanics of civil suits. Is there anything where a judge can say one side is being “unreasonable” and force arbitration? Can a judge say before a trial get in a room and exchange numbers and try to settle? I think Dominion would say $1 award if they got Fox to admit to a bunch of stuff.

romad1 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Picking a fight with the users of Tesla and Twitter didn't seem to work as a financial plan He still has a near monopoly on commercial space launch. You'd think he'd be egging on the war to support Ukraine because sanctions have helped him a lot with that as the commercial launch business has to abide by sanctions.

It would be intense if somewhat who understood what it meant said it, but she's a moron. That being said, I think interviewing her on 60 Minutes is a mistake. It seems like a good way for a very long-running show to lose a lot of credibility. Edited April 1, 2023 by Tiger337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
