A literal nightmare has come to an end, with the decision of Fox News Channel to part ways with the most watched cable show host, Tucker Carlson.
Carlson should be held legally responsible and prosecuted for his lies about the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection, and his own promotion over the years of racism, nativism, misogyny, Islamophobia, Antisemitism, homophobia, and support of Fascism authoritarianism and autocratic dictators around the world, including Vladimir Putin. He has also promoted conspiracy theories about the COVID 19 Pandemic.
Carlson lied incessantly, and it was revealed that he despised Donald Trump, and yet continued to embrace the “Big Lie” about the election of Joe Biden in 2020, that the election was stolen.
Carlson is a very evil, vain excuse for a human being, and it could be argued since he was on Cable that he was even more dangerous and divisive than the leading radio talk show host, the late and despicable Rush Limbaugh!
If there is justice, he should be sued for his wealth, and incarcerated for a prison term for the rest of his life, as he provoked violence, bloodshed, and hatred at an obscene level!
If there was justice, he would never have his voice heard again on radio or cable, but sadly, he is likely to find a new home at another right wing cable channel, or will set up a podcast.
Or he might seek public office, spreading his venomous poison, but all efforts to prevent him gaining a new power position must be pursued!
There are no virtues to Tucker Carlson, and anyone who would defend his disgusting behavior should be vilified and be spurned in society!
And this event should start the process of ridding the nation of hateful political leaders who have no conscience and only wish to divide the nation!
And Fox News Channel has other hateful cable talk show hosts, and faces further legal challenges regarding its promotion of lies about the Presidential Election Of 2020, leading to the January 6, 2021 Insurrection.
I have to question the state of mind who watched his show. Much like those who, for one reason or another, went to the calling of “Big Brother” in the book, “1984.”
Even knowing the crimes and indictments trial dockets in several States for Donald Trump, he is still the Republicans’ choice for the next Presidential Election in 2024… with a double digit lead over others!!
Nope… I think he was just the Fall Guy…
There are many today whom are dependent upon and cling to the comfort of, “Selective Exposure Theory” which states, “Individuals’ tendency to favor information which reinforces their pre-existing views while avoiding contradictory information.”
Selective exposure has also been known, and defined as “congeniality bias” or “confirmation bias” in various information sources throughout the years.”
So in summation, Tucker Carlson will find some broadcasting source to continue his hateful, racist, fear mongering, rants… and will do very well.
Much like Asa Carter did in the 50’s and 60’s. There will be a niche for Tucker.
Just as Gertrude Stein coined the phrase, “Génération Perdue” for those who served and suffered through WWI…
we now have today, a generation plus that has been propaganized with “Corporate Financed Hate Speach.”
This demographic group may never be able to use critical thinking to distinguish lies from truth.
Our “Génération Perdue!”
I guarantee he’ll wind up on Fox’s far right rivals, OAN or Newsmax, or maybe even Putin’s network, RT.
