Priceless!Tucker Carlson Calls Fox News Propaganda; Internet Chokes On Irony

[bongsaway]

More republican values on display, this one is called hypocrisy. Just unreal. All those nights of browbeating everything democratic, what a joke the GOP has become since W.

The right-wing firebrand called his former network, Fox News, “propaganda” while criticizing its pro-war message during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast on Monday.

“What they are doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them subject to more wars,” Carlson told Bannon.

The pundit's criticism was rich, considering how he spent years peddling disinformation during his prime time slot.

Tucker knows the game, he was in those meetings and knows exactly what Fox is doing. It's just not something he agrees with so he's calling them out.

It's not something Russia agrees with.

Recognize that there is an industry of people who by being 'leaders' or 'commentators' of a 'movement' gain greatly by doing so, and some of them are simply opportunists. But they can be more effective/popular than a lot of 'honest' people.

Carlson has changed colors before - he used to have an MSNBC show - and some on the right see opportunities, it seems, in being voices of some things that disagree with trump. Carlson is getting a lot of attention for it, which is a reward. Is he being 'honest'? That it's not clear might just mean he's good at an act. This is an issue with punditry as an industry.

And that's before I even get to the industry of such pundits who are basically just 'hired hands' to monied interests.

The warmongers, the environment deniers, the spreaders of bigotry, and so on. The right thinks it exists with things like 'civil rights hustlers', a popular target being Al Sharpton.
