Tuckered Out

The absolute last vestige of honest reporting in the MSM is gone.

FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.

I still think, though I am not 100% certain, that Tucker’s role at FAUX was to act as the gatekeeper of last resort. If I was correct, then it’s overly-indicative that the handlers feel they no longer need such an agent. In the event I was wrong, then this is proof positive that the entirety of the MSM is evil, fake, and gay.

It will be interesting to see where he goes now and what he does. Here’s wishing him well. If he’s truly free to speak the truth, then so much the better.

There is now no reason whatsoever for anyone to consume anything that passes for mainstream information. Those that do are literally their own enemies. To reverse the lyrics of a 1980 Genesis classic: turn it OFF, turn it off, turn it off again.

For the record, I do not watch FOX. I don’t even own a TeeVee. Yet, today I’ve been listening to someone else’s FOX. Literally EVERYTHING I’ve heard has been a lie, propaganda, or plain stupidity. This is what the opposition reporting has become?

If you must partake, please limit the viewing to just Tucker. And I still can’t believe they haven’t canned him yet.

Fox in the News House

Vox Day was right (again) waaaaay ahead of the curve. The “fall” of FAUX News:

Fox News is the enemy

 All Deep State assets have been activated:

Fox News has given a directive to their daytime hosts to not have anyone from the Trump campaign or the White House legal team on. They have been told to not entertain or discuss any allegations of voter fraud and to keep reassuring the public that Joe Biden is the President Elect.

There has been a complete insurrection at Fox News and there are talks among the Murdoch run management of terminating the Pro-Trump hosts.

Judge Jeanine’s show was suspended a few days ago because she wanted to talk about voter fraud.

This is absolutely no surprise to me. I’ve known fox was on the other side since 2004, when my book contract for Media Whores, a book I was literally paid not to write, was cancelled after the publishing house executives took it to Fox News to get their approval of the content, which approval was not forthcoming. And that was 16 years ago, which is why I turned down interview requests by Hannity & Colmes back in 2005 and why you have never seen me make any references to watching anything on Fox News.

The comments at VP naturally turned to Tucker. I’ve been wondering how he has survived this long. It’s now just another channel. Watch at your own risk.

News observation time, again. FOX “News” may be the worst of the propaganda outfits. I only catch about ten seconds of their crap every week – and during those ten seconds, my IQ dips towards the mere superior range as a result. Tucker is the only thing worth watching on the idiot’s network, maybe on all of TeeVee. Again, I wonder how much longer they can tolerate his going against the grain. Then again, maybe it’s more of an issue as to when he has it and quits.

How to fix it yourself: 1) open window. 2) unplug idiot box. 3) toss box out the window.

You’re welcome.

What to do With Tucker?

As I’ve been saying for months, I have a bad feeling about Tucker Carlson’s future at FNC.

The only man on teevee worth watching certainly has the following. And, there’s the total truth thing, too. But I simply do not trust his employer. Let a few more baseless BS stories about nothing crop up and a few more faithless advertisers depart, and Tucker may be done. I really hope I’m wrong.

There’s no other channel on the idiot box for him. Sure, he’d have no problem moving to an alternative “conservative” platform or evening starting his own. But, with him would go the last shred of decent opinion and information at the former Legs Network. How many dyed-in-the-wool Repubs would keep watching?

Maybe they could move Benny Shapiro into Carlson’s slot. That would complete the transition nicely. PROMO CODE: #NEOCON

The Death of American Television News

I’m getting around to that survey of American distrust of institutions, to include the televised news. That particular industry is utterly dead and gone. Someone should bury or burn it before the flies start breeding.

They have three kinds of stories now: laughable lies; outrageous lies; and acid-trip crazy lies. It’s all fake news.

The other night I watched Fox for a minute. They were lying about Syria. Something about bombing (based on a lie, built on other lies). At least the legs network still trots out real human beings to support the fantasies – John Bolton, Newt, Nikki Haley, etc. Things are even worse at CNN.

Meet CNN’s new expert on global “refugee” resettlement:

Henson rolls in the soil. Children’s Failed Workshop…

ELMO.

F*cking Elmo… Elmo, the retarded, red menace, cartoon puppet from a well-past-prime children’s show, is now a guest contributor to CNN’s “news.”

Not kidding:

Fake News Network / YouTube.

Someone should have stepped on Elmo when Robert D. Raiford suggested the same in 1998. It’s time to do it do it with the “traditional” news. In little more than a generation we’ve gone from Walter Cronkite to Mr. Noodle’s deranged little neighbor.

It’s a wonder there’s any trust left at all. Turn off the TeeVee and smash it with a hammer.

The Goose that Laid the Golden News Egg

Sean Hannity, a.k.a. the last one standing, laments what may be the end of Fox News.

Yeah. That’s what happens when you fire all of your talent. Hannity was slated to be next but he did the unthinkable – he fought back. Ailes, the Judge, and Billy O are gone. Others too.

Fox will remain on the air. But it has already become as unwatchable and boring as CNN. Nearly as slanted too. Baier is watchable. Carlson may impress. The legs are still crossing…

Come to think of it, there is a lot of good talent floating around. Someone might want to round it up and start something new and better. They probably will.

That is all…

Judge Not, Napolitano Out at Fox

Freedom and truth have few champions the caliber of Andrew Napolitano. That Fox has, for the time being, canned the Judge tells you something about that network.

Fox News Channel has pulled legal analyst Andrew Napolitano from the air after disavowing his on-air claim that British intelligence officials had helped former President Barack Obama spy on Donald Trump.

A person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a personnel matter said Napolitano has been benched and won’t be appearing on the air in the near future. Fox had no immediate comment Monday.

Napolitano’s report last week on “Fox & Friends,” saying he had three intelligence sources who said Obama went “outside the chain of command” to watch Trump, provoked an international incident. Britain dismissed the report as “nonsense” after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer quoted it in a briefing, part of the administration’s continued defense of Trump’s unproven contention that Obama had wiretapped him at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Napolitano is beyond popular. He will be back – either on Fox or some other, newer, better venue. When he is proven correct – and there’s no doubt about underlying surveillance anyway – Fox may have some egg on their legs.

The Five: We’re SO Innocent

Yesterday, for some inexplicable reason, I watched about 10 minutes of The Five on Fox News. The legs and plunging necklines I can handle. The babbling, not so much.

The two hotties and the three amigos were chatting about Bill O’s interview with President Trump. Bill called Putin a murderer and asked Trump how he could possibly like the man. Trump’s answer was straight forward: “And, we’re so innocent?” It seemed perfectly reasonable to me as it implied an uncomfortable truth or two. The gang however, token dissenter Juan Williams included, were not amused.

They took turns ranting about how the U.S. was the purest, cleanest, best-smelling nation in history. They rebuked the President: “We don’t elect murderers!” “None of our officials ever worked for the KGB!” Pure outrage. Then they switched to G.H.W. Bush’s coin flip at the Super Bowl. One would have thought it had been Jesus returned for the ceremony. The men unashamedly said they cried or something. The legs crossed. I turned it off.

A complete aside: it was the Super Bowl where the Patriots beat the Falcons after falling behind 28-3. That one…

That we know of, we have no KGB in our government, true. But one ex-president was also the ex head of the CIA, our KGB stand-in. Said ex-president was elected on a promise not to raise taxes. He did. Then he took us to war in the sand for nothing. Then he helped tank the economy. Then he said something about the new world order, threw up on the Prime Minister of Japan, and rode off into the Texas sunset. There he stayed until the NFL asked him to flip a coin Sunday night.

But we’re so innocent.

Fox. Heh, heh, heh.

Those legs were made for irony.
