Fox Tucker Carlson #1 in all cable news

[Albion]

Carlson freely admits that his job is to editorialize and give opinion. I find his observations more persuasive than news presented on several channels, including that of Fox itself.

Certainly. That is the nature of his program. And there's nothing unusual about it.

True, sadly so many people gain their perspective and opinions based solely on the biased skewed opinions of such. There is a good reason that a judge essentially ruled that carlson (and I'm sure many others left and right) are not credible sources .. and that was also the fox news defense. It is simply the times we live in where credible sources are dismissed and people choose to be spoon-fed from their biased infused desserts...

...and the ones whose views we disagree with we call biased and not credible, while we laud the ones whose views we do like as credible and unbiased. Yes, I know.

Perhaps, or one can choose not to get involved with commitment to some pundit personality. One can take the brute facts give consideration to the patterns of behavior, past rhetoric, and note various other factors to arrive at a considered conclusion. One can choose to research issues with a bit more depth, often finding that the attributed statements and slant of such were taken out of context, cherry picked/quote mined, twisted, and such for the promotion of that bias.

You may "laud" the personality that is attuned to your bias...but not everyone does. There exist any number of legitimate sources that are rated high quality and least biased... I'm not going to look up various examples but here is one of hannity, perhaps overall worse than others:

Sure. That would be the ideal, but in the post I replied to, it looked to me that the comments were not meant as generalizations.

Fair enough, I was simply suggesting that reliance on any pundits, political entertainers, and such is part of the undoing of an informed citizenry. Perhaps, we can agree on that....

 

[GodLovesCats]

People watch too many political pundits, whether they are Fox pundits, CNN pundits, MSNBC pundits or others. Most don't tell listeners the facts but instead twist the facts to lead people like the Pied Piper.

CNN does a great job telling the facts. Apparent liberal bias on that channel is still factual, unlike Fox and OAN intentionally spreading stupid lies.

Tucker Carlson is a reputable, astute journalist who isn’t afraid of being politically incorrect, nor does he fear being reprimanded by all those woke leftists who want to hurt people with whom they disagree. Our country needs more reporters like Carlson who tell it like it is.

The execs know that the advertisers know that avid viewers of his are in agreement with large swaths of what he says. And when not, I’m grateful that he is exercising his freedom of press/speech right to be heard or ignored.
