James Webb saying in front of Congress that we don't need to worry about the environment since 'we don't know how many more generations will be until the Lord returns.' So many people just want it to be over rather than deal with a messy and confusing reality. It's been going on for decades now, if not longer, and I'm not sure how you counter it or stop it from growing. It's depressing as hell.

I caught an earful of what I think was Laura Ingrahm the other day, talking about the "empty virtue signaling" of Biden at COP26. She snidely mentioned a "race to find the next Solyndra." God, how can they maintain anger over such tiny poo poo? I feel like a weirdo when I get the urge to stew about something from Trump's initial campaign. My dad's a recently retired clinical microbiologist who takes COVID seriously and is baffled by antivaxxers, but it certainly hasn't gotten him to turn off Fox. I've been trying to get out of my dead-end job and start an actual career in computer touching for years now, and he busted out the "No one wants to work" thing as a reason why it should be easier.

It's fun how usually risking getting your skull bashed in by riot cops to affect change is virtue signaling, while corporate pandering is the bottom of the slippery slope to radical Marxism.

He's such a privileged little prep school poo poo that he thinks he 'doesn't experience fear' like he's "built different" or whatever people tell themselves when they've never been hit in the mouth. He absolutely will excuse it and move forward pushing his fascist bullshit.

I don't know what to make of this. Maybe he doesn't know how often his staff change the sheets. Maybe he never changes the sheets and is protesting too much.Tucker Carlson posted:in real life, I wash the sheets every day. I’m that guy. It seems like his takeaway is mostly that people don't take care of themselves as well as he does because they're hooked on drugs, and not because he inherited immense wealth and privilege.

His conversations with Bubba the Lovesponge, in addition to him defending Warren Jeffs, are chock full of him calling poor people ‘peasants’, saying he never has to work, and self identifying as an ‘elitist’. But because we live in Hellworld dumb poor rurals think he’s their populist champion.

Remember when Glenn Back came out in favour of healthcare reform after a bad stay in a hospital? Or when Megyn Kelly came out in favour of paid maternity leave after having a baby? Conservatives ALWAYS do this whenever It, capital letters, happens to them. And then they forget all about it in about two weeks. This too shall pass, don't expect any life-altering change out of Tuck.

I thought he would come back with some different and much more sympathetic mindset, if only for a moment, but instead, he came back with some weird stories about he's super cool and makes his bed everyday and how opiods make people not clean their lawn and that's craaaaaazy. It's baffling.

Angry_Ed posted:They would sacrifice Hannity to save Tucker, probably Tucker Carlson was a 3rd-tier pundit bouncing around all three cable news networks for 15 years until settling on Fox. And he would have remained doing the occasional guest host roles until Bill O'Reily was ousted for sexual harassment. O'Reily was their previous titan and it's kind of amazing that they would axe him, but the incident is the only reason why Tucker was given a primetime slot. O'Reily's producers and writers didn't leave with him, they just went onto backing Tucker. It's the same show that's been getting millions of viewers 5 nights a week for 20 years now, just with a different talking head. But the purpose is to maintain the illusion that we're seeing and hearing the genuinely-held beliefs of one man, instead of the carefully-workshopped scripts and segments which have been refined by a team of writers to best appeal to an audience of high school equivalents (white) that don't watch the news I can't see them ever sacrificing Hannity. Tucker and Laura Ingram have occasionally said things that cost them sponsors, yet Hannity's managed to avoid any similar issues while still topping his timeslot consistently for over a decade now. His only flaw (from a network perspective) is that his massive audience is geriatric, which aren't worth as much to marketers. But by going into streaming with Fox Nation, they can build up a new bench of future replacements. Which reminds me, remember when Fox Nation originally launched in 2008 as some weird response to Fox blaming the internet for Obama's victory? It was like a blog, except with comment sections filled with racists, which might seem ordinary but was a cutting edge thing for Fox at the time! je1 healthcare fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Nov 6, 2021 |

Reminder that Tucker’s head writer had to resign last year because it turned out he was writing the same kind of poo poo, albeit not in dog whistles online. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/10/media/tucker-carlson-writer-blake-neff/index.html quote:Just this week, the writer, Blake Neff, responded to a thread started by another user in 2018 with the subject line, "Would u let a JET BLACK congo n****er do lasik eye surgery on u for 50% off?" Neff wrote, "I wouldn't get LASIK from an Asian for free, so no." (The subject line was not censored on the forum.) On June 5, Neff wrote, "Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down." On June 24, Neff commented, "Honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep." On June 26, Neff wrote that the only people who care about changing the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins are "white libs and their university-'educated' pets."

je1 healthcare posted:I can't see them ever sacrificing Hannity. I can and they absolutely would sacrifice him if it came down to them having to drop either him or Tucker. You're right that Hannity has avoided the same kind of controversies that Tucker has, and that's why they would drop him, as weird as that sounds. Tucker having controversies gets eyeballs. Twitter is flooded with constant "Have you seen this Tucker Carlson clip? I can't believe he said that poo poo!" from the more left side of Twitter and "Hell yeah, Tucker telling it like it is!" from the right side. Hannity doesn't get that poo poo. The most Hannity gets is like, when that stinkbug landed on him and crawled into his suit. He's just not as good as drawing attention that Tucker is. The sponsors also don't matter, it's been mentioned that Fox News makes almost all their money from cable subscriptions. They want sponsors, sure, and sponsors are nice, but losing sponsors isn't a death sentence for a host now like it was back in the O'Reilly days. Especially now that "cancel culture" is a hot right wing buzzword and they can exploit even more anger from their base by framing lost sponsors as liberal socialist Dems gone crazy and trying to cancel them. So yeah, if Fox was in a situation where it came down to axing Hannity or Tucker, they would kick Hannity out on his rear end in half a second and not think twice about it.
