I honestly think they're actively complicit at this point and not fooled

He made his mark wearing a bow tie. A BOW TIE!!! No one takes a person wearing a bow tie seriously!

All true. Also... maybe he peels off enough of his bigoted followers to make an impact in coming elections.

Noncharlatan-washing?

I hear that he was with the Russians, too.

This is NPR.

The dipshittery is the point. 😭

and he'll be first in line to support the next, younger, even more racist version of trump

Like, they *know* who he is. Those things don't change. Why would anyone fall for this.

Utterly.

Sure, let's humanize this racist. Why would NPR need to add that? Is that fair and balanced? See - Blondi played a role in Nazi propaganda by portraying Hitler as an animal lover. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondi

They mention Trump ordering that the Corporation for Public Media be defunded while doing their best to ensure that Democrats will never want to restore the funding

They have always been a bit problematic. In '08 I remember having to pull over because I was so angry after they pushed some pro McCain BS. This was after he just threw up his hands and made it clear he had No Idea what to do about the financial crisis.

Old enough to recall NPR's Steve Inskeep regularly -- across years --hosting Jonah Goldberg on Morning Edition, for a weekly political round up... Goldberg: author of "Liberal Fascism," one of the stupidest books ever written, in which he endeavored to prove that liberals are the real Nazis.

This feels like when Samantha Bee tried to team up with Glen bleeping Beck: gross

Exactly this. HE DID THIS!

Agreed.

To date, the only one who treated Tucker the way he deserves to be treated on camera is Jon Stewart.

well said

Tucker has figured out, like many others, that you can get a lot of free press by becoming anti-Trump. It's all about the $$$. Every one of them deserves a lot of skepticism.

If the MSM wants to know whether Democrats are doing badly, they look to Republicans. And if they want to know whether Republicans are doing badly, they look to Republicans. No criticism is legitimate unless it comes from Republicans.

@canadiandragoness.bsky.social @karlbode.com IMO, you have an awesome profile! I'd be delighted if we followed each other (I like your content/bio) 🙂 Followed you 💙🗽🌊 Have a wonderful day/evening 🌅🌃

Another reason I feel good about ending 25 years of annual donations.

Exactly. I find myself getting mad and turning off Morning Edition fairly regularly. Especially when they platform the odious Jonah Goldberg, who appears regularly for some reason.

Yep. airbagmoments.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/m...

Would be great if the mainstream media would stop Glenn-Becking every reactionary grifter who suddenly pretends to have grown a conscience

Yet another example of why generational wealth should not exist. #TaxTheRich

especially when he's on Putin's payroll

the soggy ass corn syrup brownie at the heart of preservative laden crap

Man I remember seeing the same sort of shit about Glenn Beck back in the day. Note he’s been back at his crap for a long while now. Tucker will do the same

Now, don't be mean, he put on his best rouge and folksiest flannel.

there's gonna be a LOT more of this shit

His argument that Dems were fine with the Iran War because the massive No Kings weren't a single issue protest was a whopper. I turned it off, did that get pushback?

Tucker Carlson is a white supremist. No one should ever treat him like he matters.

💯

"I build a career on lying. I didn't care that those lies helped destroy the country, I got rich and famous. But now that those lies caught up with me, I have to pivot and lie about my former lying."

on the plus side I genuinely suspect he's too lazy to run for office, so that's a bullet dodged

well its like i told graham well go at it one day

at least in Oregon this interview kicked off their latest pledge-drive. not particularly well thought out of them as my radio has been in the time-out corner ever since.

Can’t wait for their rehabilitation coverage of Glenn Beck (again).

I wish we could let influencers/pundits/commentators who got it all wrong and "change" just fade into the woodwork. Give them thier "oops" and then turn away. I feel the same way about the ex-tradwives. Learn your life lesson and then just...go live your life, without attention. Like everyone else.

NPR Been embarrassing

NPR gave a platform to Steve...Freakin'...Bannon! That was the day I stopped donating to them! Everything that's happened was something Steve Bannon has been calling for since he took over Breitbart News and became CEO of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

You can’t normalize fascists enough for our supine media. Especially when they’re running away from consequences.
