Deep State: Exposed

"This “general tenor” of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not “stating actual facts” about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in Case 1:19-cv-11161-MKV Document 39 Filed 09/24/20 Page 11 of 1912 “exaggeration” and “non-literal commentary.” Milkovich, 497 U.S. at 20-21; Levinsky’s, Inc. v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 127 F.3d 122, 128 (1st Cir. 1997)). Fox persuasively argues, see Def Br. at 13-15, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer “arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism” about the statements he makes. 600 W. 115th Corp. v. Von Gutfeld, 80 N.Y.2d 130, 141, 603 N.E.2d 930, 936 (1992). Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson’s statements as “exaggeration,” “non-literal commentary,” or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same—the statements are not actionable"




they basically admit this in court to prove his statements in a specific court case that what tucker says is opinion and not factual implying he cannot face scrutiny for wrongdoing.

So you proved that Tucker often states his opinions on his show, something I'm already aware of. Let me know when you can prove that Tucker pushes far right propaganda, I'm getting bored of the irrelevant distractions now.

tucker's entire contradictory coverage of covid, that probably got people killed, should cover that. let me know if you need some more examples.


wasn't he also praising rittenhouse and was told to stop?

Tucker was more interested in how China covered the whole thing up, he had scientists and doctors on his show daily. He made a case for self defense with Rittenhouse. Tucker counters many of the arguments from the left, that doesn't mean he pushes far right propaganda.

Right wing talking points are right wing propaganda even if he repeats them by “mistake”.

Guess who said it: Tucker Carlson or a far-right shooter
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/10/tucker-carlson-fox-news-united-states-race

If I were Tucker Carlson, I wouldn’t want people to think about racism either. If they did, they might start to notice that Carlson’s rhetoric about non-white people has long been virtually identical to that of white supremacist terrorists in New Zealand and El Paso. Here, for example, is a passage from Carlson’s most recent book, on the topic of why “diversity” makes us weaker:

When confronted or pressed for details, [proponents of diversity] retreat into a familiar platitude, which they repeat like a zen koan: diversity is our strength. But is diversity our strength? The less we have in common, the stronger we are? Is that true of families? Is it true in neighborhoods or businesses? Of course not. Then why is it true of America? Nobody knows. Nobody’s even allowed to ask the question.


And here is an excerpt from the manifesto issued by the man who killed 51 people in a New Zealand mosque:

Why is diversity said to be our greatest strength? Does anyone even ask why? It is spoken like a mantra and repeated ad infinitum … But no one ever seems to give a reason why. What gives a nation strength? And how does diversity increase that strength? What part of diversity causes this increase in strength? No one can give an answer.

Now you are moving the goal posts, every news anchor gets something wrong every once in a while. I asked for examples of Tucker pushing far right propaganda and you guys are yet to post any real examples.

That’s what’s called fake news.

Again this is petty, it's clear you think anyone who doesn't push left wing talking points is far right.

It's exactly what you asked for.

Now you are moving the goal posts, every news anchor gets something wrong every once in a while. I asked for examples of Tucker pushing far right propaganda and you guys are yet to post any real examples.


Tucker: But is diversity our strength?
Shooter: Why is diversity said to be our greatest strength?

Tucker: Nobody’s even allowed to ask the question.
Shooter: Does anyone even ask why?

Tucker: which they repeat like a zen koan
Shooter: It is spoken like a mantra and repeated ad infinitum

Tucker: Then why is it true of America? Nobody knows.
Shooter: But no one ever seems to give a reason why.

Tucker: The less we have in common, the stronger we are? Is that true of families? Is it true in neighborhoods or businesses?
Shooter: What part of diversity causes this increase in strength?


Its. The. Same. Thing.

Counter talking points doesn't automatically make it far right.

When he picks the “points” he counters? Yeah it is. He picks the points that meet the criteria he needs to make his points while making it all appear like outrage. MSNBC hosts do the same thing. Mountains out of molehills. Outrage means ratings.

Biden is going to cost them. More business than bullshit. Their audiences like bullshit. Trump was bullshit. People like being outraged. I’m just glad it’s over. Glad someone’s taking this pandemic seriously. Back to boring.

Why do you keep referring to Tucker as a "news anchor"???

Fox and Tucker have both stated repeatedly he is NOT a "news" anchor and is an OPINION host.

Tucker has told people that most likely there was voter fraud but not on a level that could overturn the election which is probably a true statement. I watch Tucker and have no expectations that somehow Trump will win in court. Hannity is the one pushing voter fraud heavily.

but Carlson sucks up to Hannity which is pretty bad.

the shit I heard him spewing along with the rest of the choir about the stolen election comes to mind. Too lazy to look it up right now.

He said that there was most likely voter fraud but not enough to overturn the election. You can't find any examples to support your claims because there is none.

I understand you don't like Tucker but he is far from Alex Jones.

Because Tucker is a news anchor who puts his opinion out there just like all the other news anchors.

I'll look it up for you when I'm so inclined. It was piercing propaganda.

I quite often listen to them on the radio and inbetween shows the other night they were smooshing each other like a couple at a gay bar.

Like Cumo and Don Lemon do every night? You are pacing far off track here with this and no it doesn't make Tucker a far right propaganda outlet.
