Time stamp? A few posts ago you were whining about 'context'. A time stamp is about as lacking in context as you can get! Open the damn link and embarrass yourself.
In an interview, Tucker Carlson
admitted: “I lie.”
The Fox News host was speaking to
Dave Rubin. The YouTube host and conservative author asked how
Carlson felt about CNN hosts Brian Stelter, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, who Rubin called “clown people”.
Carlson said: “I guess I would ask myself, like,
I mean I lie if I’m really cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t – I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.
“But to systematically lie like that (talking about Stelter, Cuomo, and Lemon) without asking yourself why am I doing this? So if these people ask themselves, ‘Why am I doing this?’ And they say, ‘Well, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system.’”
Carlson, who once worked for CNN,
accused the CNN anchors of “lying to defend Jeff Bezos … treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader” and putting “your boot on the neck of the weakest people”.
Carlson said he had also “put pictures on the screen to hurt weak people” but only “inadvertently”, and always tried to “punch up”,
aiming to hurt those more powerful than him.
“People who punch down are the worst,” he said. “They should have no power whatsoever, in my opinion.”
Here Carlson admitted that he "lied" in a conversation talking about how CNN and people on that station and other liberal stations lie. He was saying he lies about some things that would be relatively unimportant and the clowns on TV that he referenced lie about things that affect the lives of people who have no power to defend themselves. In the video, which isn't a part of the transcript above he mused about the mainstream media protecting the powerful like Jeff Bezos "How do you use the system to protect Jeff Bezos?
How dare you use your power to protect the powerful? You put your boot on the neck of the weakest people.
THIS is what you're trying to use to demonize Tucker? I didn't ask for this little tidbit of soul searching where someone admits that he is a "sinner" but he tries hard not to be. His comments were in the context of a bigger picture and a major, major problem we have in the world today where anchors, TV clowns, and personalities use their immense power to stomp on the little people. He doesn't want to do that and abhors that, and utilized the interview to say that he may lie on occasion but never to cause harm to those who can't defend themselves. The idiots he referred to lie to protect the evil, the rich, and the powerful.
The videos really weak sauce. I viewed it because there is a great piece by Tucker today on how Covid said:
Tucker Carlson: Christianity is dying and being replaced by cult of coronavirus
This is OT for this thread and I will have to read it because I agree with the headline 100%
Have a great day today. I hope this helped you and others in your understanding of how this very evil place we call earth is now run by the mainstream media protecting the rich and stomping on the little people and Tucker is exposing that. It's an age-old story that has been going on since the beginning of time but with the internet and 24/7 hate news by Cuomo, Stelter, Lemon, Mika and Joe, Breanna, Jake Tapper, and scores of others protecting the deep state, it is far worse than EVER before.
You could, of course, blame CNN and liberals for Carlson admitting, on video, that he lies. That would be entirely predictable and in-character.
