romad1 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Good riddance to both. Don't compare them though. DL was a tad bit obnoxious. Tucker was openly siding with Putin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess at some point this AM somebody put a number in front of one/both of them that motivated a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that Black American gained any Civil rights ground in the US as the result of the 2A is about as totally FOS as anything you'd find on Russian State Tv.

The morning show is maybe not the place where CNN wants that level of contention, but then you shouldn't book that guest. But he deserved the pushback - if there is a bigger problem in US jounalism today than giving BS a free ride I don't know what it is.

Yeah - Licht is trouble. He thinks there is some triangulation between truth and falsehood waiting to be found. He's wrong. He labors under the same illusions as Desantis. Trumpism Lite is a losing proposition. You don't attract any of Trump's audience by pampering their addictions to fantasy because you can't do that better than Trump or Tucker or whatever talking heads real RW media puts out there.

I was just coming in to post this very thing, minus the waiting a week part. *ucker would be an incredible get for them because he is already an established star there, and Murdoch would **** an entire brick because a third of Fox's audience would go to RT with *ucker. The only thing I can imagine that might prevent it is that it would shine a huge light on Russia's control ... or influence, if you prefer ... of America's right wing media in a manner way too obvious even for them.

If this interview played a role, than he was on some extremely thin ice already. Which legitimately he should have been. That said, this is classic primetime cable news bull****, which i'm told CNN doesn't want to be a part of in primetime, let alone their morning show. He doesn't listen to the guys response, granted a producer is in his ear causing that, tells him to explain again and gets a paraphrased response when he asks for him to explain again. Granted that's not Lemon's fault, but then he goes on to say the guy is wrong because he was discounting reconstruction and other things done after the civil war, then completing contradicts himself saying blacks hadn't received their rights which is why the civil rights era started. As for the NRA training black people how to shoot, I don't know, but historically the NRA was nothing like it was today. Early on it definitely had much less to do with politics and more to do with promoting (accurate) shooting. Is this guy over valuing the NRA in terms of civil rights, quite possibly, but I can assure you Lemon has no clue when he says it's an absolute lie that they had no involvement.

My comment was about the hypocrisy and/or naivete of the tweet, that Murdoch acted out of concern that *ucker promoted the insurrection—something he had been doing for 27 months straight, along with numerous other air heads who have done the same and are still employed there at this very minute—as though he did/they are doing so against Murdoch's will. That is an asinine idea on its face, and this kind of coy, even cute mealy-mouthing in the face of such blatant obviousness is a big pet peeve of mine. If there is anything Murdoch is concerned about here, it is not about the coverage itself, which by allowing it to go on for over two years he's demonstrated he clearly had no problem with. It's only the blowback he cares about. LA Times should be better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
