Rutger Bregman points out quite nicely how FOX protects Billionaires.

Bregman, author of the bestseller Utopia for Realists and How We Can Get There, lit into not just the Davos elite but Fox, its billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch and the Fox hosts, who he described as millionaires in the pay of billionaires.

In the interview the news channel decided not to run, the historian and author repeated his comments that Davos billionaires had studiously ignored the obvious question of the importance of higher taxes on the rich. But he extended those observations to include Fox itself.


...

As Bregman points out, the host didn't need to be Rupert Murdoch's finger puppet. He came ready-made from his association with the anti-tax, anti-government Cato Institute, which is itself funded by wealthy donors.

Got a link?
 
Thank you! I missed inserting that. Here it is. Rutger Bregman is my new hero!

Rutger Bregman leaks Tucker Carlson rant as Fox News refuses to air the interview – DutchReview

I don't know anything about the DutchReview so I'd rather not agree to their terms just to view the clip from the story.
Since you apparently already did, can you post the video of what happened?

Never mind. I have a fuller story from Tuckertalking about it on his show. It kind of fleshes out the story from Rutger's own version.

Carlson is lying about the interview. Bregman said that he had watched FOX News on YouTube. Carlson also did not speak to 90% of the great points that Bregman made, regarding Corporate elitism, taxes on the rich, and FOX News billionaire control. Bregman also mentioned that all the FOX News analysts, including Carlson are "millionaires supported by billionaires". I suggest that you watch the actual interview, with Tucker Carlson flipping out, using 4-letter words.

Instead of making his points, Bregman directly attacked the interviewer. What did he expect was going to happen?

Who the hell is Rutger Bregman and why does what he say mean squat? "importance of higher taxes on the rich"? He's one of those crackpots, eh? Tax ourselves to prosperity types?

I did. I found it elsewhere. Bregman started acting like a snotty little clueless punk and Carlson told him so. Bregman is not worthy of you hero worship.

You do realize that the pop up about cookies is due to regulations in the EU. Every web site in Europe will display a similar message.. although usually it's just a info thing on the bottom rather than being so obvious.

If this were a boxing match, Rutger Bregman scored a TKO, with Carlson lying on the mat. There's another YouTube video with Carlson's tail-between-his-legs response on FOX, the only footage that ever made it to FOX. He didn't know that Bregman had taped the interview, so he was forced to respond with an apology. The rest of his narrative mentioned next-to-nothing of Bregman's anti-globalism comments.

Did you see the smug look on Carlson's face when Bregman agreed with him on a few early points. He thought - "This is going well". And then Bregman ate his lunch!!!

Bregman directly attacked Carlson instead of just making his points. You don't win by making it personally adversarial, you win by arguing your points well and bringing others to your way of thinking.

I can understand why you would feel the way you do, but by equating Carlson with the problem, its just a ad hominim attack.

What is your point? That there is something evil about being anti-tax and anti-big government? Or that FOX would not air a short interview of an author who decided to attack FOX rather than discuss his book and theories.

I'd guess that statistically less than 10% of interviews by FOX or any other network are ever aired.

Carlson is part of that plutocracy machinery and that was a point. Interest of the rich is twisting narratives as long as it's not illegal - that's the problem. Maybe it's hard to say "No" and get real respect that way. Money in media overrides intellectual honesty and same is happening in politics too. Maybe problem is that we don't ask right questions now: what kind of attributes we want to see in media and politics? What's needed to be meaningful? (minimum requirements to be counted as meaningful)

Pointing fingers instead of participating as a good faith actor isn't doing Bregman's argument any good.

Yeah i see it often and I don't accept when I do. Besides, DutchReview? Please.

That sounds like an excuse to me. If you don't want to accept, I guess you won't accept ANY source outside the us.

Of course Rupert Murdoch is a billionaire, what would you expect, a homeless person owns FOX?

Gee there's a billionaire's club.

Does George Soros ring a bell. He's the billionaire that funds most of the Dems socialist programs and his pick for President another socialist.

I don't know why you would say that.
 
Yeah sure, everyone wants a higher inheritance tax...Bull ****!
