Society/Culture Tucker Carlson - Fired from Fox. Sacked. Terminated. Given the heave-ho.

Is it really that bad that CNN run with an FDA approved meme, to highlight Rogan's stance on Ivermectin?

Sorry, what's your point?

Please address the specific criticism of CNN.

You think it's OK if their coverage, their "expert information", is based on a tweet?

My point is that Ivermectin has become part of the culture wars, partly due to Joe Rogan shilling it.

Why do you give a free pass to Rogan for misinformation, while at the same time attacking CNN for it?

Why would you take medical advice from Joe Rogan in the first place? You wouldn't get stock tips from Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Has he been "shilling it"? Can you cite an example of him urging other people to take it?

Do you accept that when CNN described invermectin as a horse dewormer, that was inaccurate?

It can be prescribed to humans. Even Sanjay Gupta conceded this point.

Just address this basic point of fact.

I don't give him a free pass.

I've criticised Rogan plenty of times for allowing his audience to be misled. I think that is one of his major shortcomings as a broadcaster.

In this instance, though, his criticism of CNN appears to be valid. Does that constitute "attacking CNN"?

Do you see how I assess the information and then draw a conclusion based on that? You should try it some time.

They mythologise these figures. It’s strange.

Stock tips, no. But if he was shilling low cap meme coins, I might take a look.

RIP RRP.

Sorry for the meme - this cracked me up:

 

[bourbons]

One side is openly comparing wearing masks in public, to the Holocaust.

Wowee. Hadn't seen that, I believe it lol. Fox News?

And yep, obviously worthy of criticism too. But it still doesn't mean CNN gets a free pass.

 

[bourbons]

He is sometimes referred to as the gateway to alt-right

Alt-light perhaps?

I don't get that at all. Is it just coz he's happy to have pretty much anyone on, and people might start following the Alex Jones' of the world because they appeared on Rogan?

Not that I listen religiously, but the only real right-wing positions I've heard him espouse are on guns and hunting. Not a fan of antifa either I suppose (but you can be left wing and still not have much time for them). On pretty much everything else I reckon he's clearly left wing, social issues certainly.

 

[bourbons]

wtf this Brucey fear pr0n is nuts

Haha holy s**t.

Never go full Tucker.

SBS had a good doco on Antifa last night

The ANTIFA Paradox

Alzo Slade talks to a member of Antifa to a get a perspective from their side and tries to understand the reasoning behind their actions.

You'd need a séance to do that these days.

I did not know he was dead. Being a pro wrestler doesn't seem to be commensurate with living a long life.

He passed away a number of years ago.

Anyone seen his nutty little docuseries thing or got a link???

‘In June, a Washington Post analysis found that the phrase had been mentioned with increasing frequency on Fox News over the year, from just 132 times in 2020 to more than 1,860 times by June 2021.’ - Huffpost

Exactly their "approval is worthless"

A trump fan becoming a moderator here one day is now when I think about it a stupid idea for rejoining this site, motivation gone

I need my account deleting and PPI removing
Thanks

So what was your previous account name?

Is Tucker part of the mischievous new right?

 

[carltonchelsea]

Have we seen the attack helicopters used on American conservatives yet, have we seen them locked up at Guantanamo yet?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

No, but their racist statements get labelled racist, so that's worse.
