I normally don't watch TV at all in the evening, but I was doing some work in the kitchen and needed some noise to keep me company, so i turned it on. I first tried MSNBC with Chris Hayes as the host. He was doing solid and SERIOUS reporting on Ukraine and interviewed a couple of experts in the area. Then I switched to Tucker, and I couldn't last more than ten seconds. My god, he was WHINING, as usual, this time about an interview that Lindsey Graham gave while visiting Ukraine in 2017. I mean, my god, what could that possible mean today? Just how stupid do you have to be to actually watch an entire program of whining and lies from this effing idiot? Unbelievable!

If you want good quality coverage on Ukraine, I would go with either BBC News or Al Jazeera English. Both of them you can get streaming.

Wow, that's a whole lot of stupid people to watch such an ignorant whiner as Tucker! I guess a lot of people are just dedicated to whining and lying.

Sure he's popular, kind of like the Kardashians. I imagine, on the strength of their ratings, that you get your news from them as well, eh? On that note, have you considered getting medical advice from the doctors on ER? It had huge ratings. Some might even say, YUGE.

Russian State TV has over 50 million viewers, so what is your point? It seems to me like the more extreme the bullshit propaganda is, the greater the number of viewers you will get.

Some Chinese news sources have viewership that absolutely dwarfs Tucker. Perhaps @Common Sense 1 follows them as well, since viewership is his litmus test for quality and accuracy.

And that proves what? That Tucker caters to the fears and bigotry he sees in his viewers. Who wouldn't want to tune up in to see how one is victimized by immigrants or whoever Tucker is bashing that day. As FOX itself said, he is not intended to be taken seriously.

Ratings mean little. They certainly are not indicative of the quality of the underlying show. Similar to Tucker Carlson, 3 of the 12 most frequented sites on the Internet are porn sites. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1201880/most-visited-websites-worldwide/

So much for flaunting your numbers as a measure of quality.

Hayes is a real TV journalist, the other not so much. Tucker is opinion, nothing more.

you just pull your cross up next to Tucker's, Trump's, and the rest of the self professed victims....
It is an irresistible attraction to the aggressors...

Theodore Fred Abel - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org
"Among the recurring themes of the letters were people who were hoping Hitler would bring back order and their distrust of the press due to the press being what they considered overcritical of Hitler and his ideas.[5].."

Nazis Explain Why They Became Nazis

In 1934, American writer Theodore Abel created a fake competition to trick hundreds of people into describing why they loved the Nazi Party so much. Their words seem worryingly relevant today.
www.vice.com
"It was because Adolf Hitler and his party faced so much criticism and resistance among the press that I became particularly interested in joining their movement," wrote a party member named Friedrich Jörns."

MSNBC, CNN lie for years about Russian collusion and people cry about FOX news spreading propaganda? A true sickness.
Madcow lied most every show babbling about the Russian crap. Keep crying about FOX!
FOX news #1 cable news outlet for years!
And that drives the left looney.

Flimsly excuses mean nothing.
The guy you hate has the highest ratings
so the left will try anything to slime him.
How many times has the left tried to cancel his show? And the result was one failure after another. 😃

You do know that it is mostly ignorant people who watch Tucker, and worse, who actually believe what he tells them, right.
