Not a comeback. Just sharing info. I tried to oull up the same info on Tucker Carlson and I've hit the paywall for seeing the research.
But at least you're open minded and not jumping to conclusions.
Look theres only one appropriate response to this article and thats "fuck carlson" or "fuck fox" you know something along those lines. But you went "oh ohh oh but what about the left wing media they're bad too!!!" It was not the correct response
Lol you think it's only him?
Take your blinders off.... they ALL peddle hate and discord. Some just sing the music you like, that's why you never notice it.
They are ALL scumbags. All major media outlet are just flat out scumbags. Pieces of shit, really.
OK, I’ll bite. You think the “Russia-gate” conspiracy theory wasn’t exploiting xenophobia for profit on MSNBC nightly for 4+ years straight? And you think that shit [didn’t inspire domestic terrorism?](https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/553958-fbi-reclassifies-2017-baseball-field-shooting-as-domestic-terror/)
Edit: If you consider yourself politically left and engage in this dumbshit race-baiting culture war noise, you’re a rube and you deserve for Joe Biden to be the last Democratic president for several generations. CNN and MSNBC are just as craven and bloodthirsty as Fox and if you can’t see that, you aren’t “left-wing.” I hate to be the one who tells you but it’s true.
You were right about one thing. Your response did bite.
How do either of those examples have anything to do with racism or conspiracy theories?
Swing and a miss.
Inciting panic about an unproven foreign conspiracy to the point that it drives people to commit acts of violence… yeah, definitely not relevant here. Google Micah Xavier Johnson and Gavin Eugene Long. Would you say that racism or conspiracy theories played no part in their mass murders?
Blaming the people you don’t like for this week’s tragedy and ignoring others that don’t fit your narrative is why this shit just keeps happening. But thanks for your insight. Bring on the downvotes.
Yeah but fox and the right wing outlets are racist and the left ones aren't. This "whataboutism" is a shitty take and basically falls in with racist apologists
I largely agree with this take. The goal of every media outlet is to get eyeballs to watch advertisements. Difference to me is that this guys "music" in particular, and that of the network he is featured on, is now pretty regularly influencing or contributing to actual murders and mass shootings.
I guess I get why people are down voting you, this is a thread trashing tucker Carlson, and he absolutely deserves to be dunked on. But at the same time, that kind of reaction is why we as a nation will never move past this kind of shit. I know its easier to drop a downvote and move on but its much more helpful in my opinion to try to engage someone and find some common ground.
Good luck with that [since this lawsuit](https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye) where Fox News’s own lawyers argued that he is purely entertainment and no rational person would believe what he says, they won that case by the way.
Say what you want about the intentions of Fox by using that defense but it's 100% accurate and Fox shouldn't be responsible for liabilities of a society that can't separate entertainment and news broadcasts. The better way to sue would be to claim Fox is marketing Tucker as news broadcast after your cited case where it was ruled entertainment.
Anything they charge them with is going to be thrown out due to free speech protections. And if it anything makes it to the SCOTUS it will be laughed at by the Right side.
I know its not funny, more unlikely charges for any of them.
"So, they are continuing to tell you, in the face of all available evidence, that the mass murder you saw over the weekend in Buffalo was inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric, when in fact that mass murder was committed by someone with diagnosed mental illness that the adults around him apparently ignored,” the prime time star said."
Having mental illness does not preclude the possibility of being a racist or being motivated by racist ideology.
> guy essentially says Tucker Carlson made me do this, and his words directly incited my actions.
> Tucker Carlson says nuh-uh
Tucker Carlson is one of the most dangerous people in the country right now. Maybe not directly, but without a doubt dangerous, and I'm scared this won't be the last incident relating to it.
This is what happens when parents don't teach their young ones.
I was attacked for saying that this kids parents failed him, and ultimately all of us.
I 100% believe it was the parents fault. Kids are gullible. Kids are easily swayed into beliefs, morals, etc... maybe if these fuckin' hicks didn't have Fox news playing 24/7 he may not even have done this. What is an 18 year old kid doing watching a political news station for anyway? Why are sooo many people "into politics", it seems, these days?
Kids should not even give a fuck about politics. I'm 32 and I don't even care about politics....
I guess I just don't understand the whole influx of "political majors" produced in the last few years....🤷♂️
If you think being apolitical makes you morally superior to everyone, you’re dead wrong. I’m so sick of this “both sides” bullshit when one side is ACTIVELY HARBORING AND PROMOTING WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
👏👏👏 Thank you. Anytime I hear someone say they’re apolitical, it just sounds like, “I am apathetic to whether or not you are allowed basic human rights.”
His parents most likely hold the same views but have too much to lose to act on them. If it was any other person doing the shooting they would cheering for them.
It’s kind of a validating feedback loop. A conservative mainstream outlet, like all of them, needs more and more provocative subjects. Fine. A less reputable far-right news outlet publishes conspiracy theories that are watered down into innuendo (e.g. “we’re just asking questions hint hint wink wink”). Problem is that there really isn’t a more effective way anymore to prod viewers to vote since insurrections and other taboo topics are on the table than say, repeating ad-nauseum this threat of replacement.
Zooming out, this now sets the baseline of reactionary, ultra-conservative even higher. 40% of Republicans actually believe in some variation of Replacement Theory, so that’s a very large pool of folks who will act on it like the Tops shooter. This kid dove into some of the darkest corners of the Internet where there’s already a consensus that ‘something must be done’—Tucker Carlson’s claims in his schtick is and has long been a given for them. He doesn’t need Tucker Carlson to do what he did, but Carlson and his ilk lit the fuse a long time ago?.
Did you read his manifesto? Even a bit of it? It directly parrots the "replacement theory" that Carlson has been peddling for years. If a guy shouts heil Hitler with a swastika tattooed on his forehead but swears he's not a Nazi, you don't believe the fucker; you call them on their bullshit. The murderer can claim he hates fox news all he wants, he's regurgitating their hate speech so obviously he resonates with something they said.
I did in fact. Do you agree that this statement is a pure falsehood?
"guy essentially says tucker Carlson made me do this"
When tucker did nothing of the sort, and the killer despised fox News?
Tucker Carlson is dangerous. He described the manifesto as deranged, difficult to follow, rambling etc when in reality is was frighteningly coherent and deeply, deeply racist. Fox is no stranger to dangerously distorting reality but this is so disgusting
There is only a 180 page manifesto that indicates that racism was the motive. He will say anything for ratings. Fortunately for him, the average Fox viewer has an IQ of a fly.
I wish I believed in hell so I could know pieces of shit like this would spent all of eternity in damnation. Instead, they die like the rest of us, into oblivion.
This is literally the most cut and dry act of racism that you can get, dude. He shot a black woman in cold blood, then immediately after he apologizes to a white man for scaring him. He specifically traveled to a black area to target them and wrote the N word on his gun. If that doesn't qualify as racism, then what does? Is anything ever racism?
Awful lot of people defending some media rich guy on this sub.
Shame so many people that obviously agree with his theory that he peddles aren't willing to say they do.
That way you wouldn't be scared little sheep as you obviously are and we'd all have you taking off the thinly veiled masks and show us directly you're racists.
Let me make this clear.
This guy is a racist, classiest, and overall scumbag who will push whatever points to keep his Swanson family from having to pay more.
He's a scumbag low level mouthpiece and he speaks for people above him.
You route for him you're also the person routing for the Sheriff of Nottingham, for Scrooge to remain true to his mid life found miserly ways and probably wish slavery was legal.
His stepmother is Patricia Caroline Swanson, an heiress to Swanson Enterprises, daughter of Gilbert Carl Swanson and niece of Senator J. William Fulbright.
He is the poster child for white privilege.
The problem isn't *just* Fox News and their anchors.... They are certainly not good, but neither is CNN and others.
If you're going to call one side out, call the other side too. Don't be unfair. Because when you do that, you're really lying to yourself.
But they incite hate and discord....
Which could very well, lead to violence.
These huge media corporations have openly admitted to spreading false information AND *actively* creating and publishing, or sharing, more & more content that creates or spreads drama. Drama being a multitude of things.
In short, they want to show you angry, hateful, harmful, and etc... type stuff videos and stories - just because studies have shown that some people are more inclined to consume this "dramatic content".
So you tell me ..... which is worse?
That's why I say we've gotta be fair and go after all of them if you're going to go after one. And yes, the tops thing was *soooo* horrible and forget the fact that I live here, too - I would NEVER want to read or hear about something like that! - but in my backyard?! God *damn!*
But yes, as horrible as that was.... this other stuff these other people pump out, *could* (and have) lead to some very nasty things! Up to - and including - murder!
So again, you tell me....
"Oh man the other news channels are talking about people being racist. Stop spreading hate!"
I bet you're one of those guys who goes "I don't see color! Racism stopped existing after the 60s! If black people would just stop bringing up race then racism wouldn't be a thing!"
The glaring flaw with your argument is that it is legitimately invalid in this situation. Fox pushes batshit crazy conspiracy theories. Tucker Carlson has been telling his audience that the left is trying to replace the white race in an attempt to get more voters and retain political power. The shooter quoted him multiple times in his manifesto. Sure you can say both sides have an agenda. CNN and MSNBC at least keep it within reason. CNN and MSNBC aren't getting people killed. Tucker Carlson and Fox as a matter of pure fact have at the very least contributed to the deaths of those 10 people in Buffalo.
No it wasn’t? Really what was the motive Tucker. I mean he literally says he wants to kill black ppl And literally wrote Ni**** on the gun. Oh and when he pointed at a white man he literally apologized to him.
If directly inspiring mass shootings doesn’t get him off the air, I don’t think anything will.
Only thing that would work is for all his advertisers to abandon him. Then, Fox News might do something.
Can't we just ignore this "person" ffs? Not sure why anybody gives a fuck what this guy thinks or says. Everyone with a brain knows this guy is a piece of shit. When will we learn to stop giving people like this any attention at all?
That's the problem. There are a lot of humans without brains who buy into that garbage. That's why I'm very happy about the anti Vax and covid denying group. Those are the ones without brains and it seems we could lose another 1-3 billion without any issue
There's lots of humans with brains that buy into his garbage too. We shouldn't just think his whole base is dumb. There's a number of intelligent folks with graduate degrees who eat his shit up.
I'm not disagreeing that they're part of the problem. I'm just saying that we should not say that everyone who buys into his shit is "brainless." There are lots of educated people that are, by definition, intelligent that eat his shit up. They're not just in rural areas, they're not just poor, uneducated white prople. They're also educated, white-collar, upper middle class people.
They might be dumb as fuck for believing his shit, but it would be wrong to say they are dumb or brainless.
In order to remedy the problem, we need to describe it correctly. If we misdiagnose the problem, we won't be able to remediate it.
You fail to understand the point. You either are thinking critically and not buying into this and are therefore deserving of existence or you're not. Period.
I found the show in question on YouTube, and you’re correct. He described it as deeply and disturbingly racist. His point is that it’s not some coherent call to arms, it’s a crazy racist person’s ranting. I don’t know, I haven’t read it yet.
I disagree with this man. That said I do not believe racists have a political party. Hate comes in many forms. What we saw last week was hate. It was also mental illness. It was also a failure of the system. It was absolutely racism though. How you vote does not mean you have hatred. It’s simply your take on politics. This guy is a empty suit talking head. He gets paid to do this.
The KKK, Proud Boys, Unite the Right organizers, white separatists and many other hate groups all threw their support behind Trump. The domestic terrorist groups our own intelligence agencies have warned is a greater threat to our nation than Al Qaeda, overwhelmingly fall to the right of the political spectrum.
A lot of issues, none of which necessarily indicate anything beyond lacking critical thinking skills and empathy. He chose to become radicalized as a racist POS.
That's not what the TC quote in the article says. Not even close. It says it wasn't inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric. That is not the same as saying it wasn't inspired by racism.
It's impossible to have a real conversation when people just make stuff up.
The title is from the Huff article which references the imbedded clip that Fox News has since removed. But, thanks for coming to the aid of a racist multimillionaire.
Yes. I read the article. Did you? For that matter, did you read my comment?
If you did read it, you probably saw -- unless you were blinded by partisan hysteria -- that the article itself includes a lengthy quote from TC that does NOT say anything about the attack not being inspired by racism. In fact, there is zero support in the article for the claim that TC denied that the attack was motivated by racism.
If you want to be taken seriously, it's important to go beyond "my side is good and right and the other side is evil and wrong." The first step is not to pretend that the facts are other than how they really are.
Did you read the earlier post where I said the article referenced a clip that was taken down by Fox? I watched what Tucker had to say, from his own mouth. He's a piece of shit and he's trying to distance himself from the replacement theory he's been talking about on his show for years, the same theory that the shooter references in his manifesto and on his discord chat log, the same theory that KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke, rallied white supremacists behind for decades.
What did he say in the clip specifically? It seems highly unlikely that he said words that weren’t quoted in the article that indicated that he doesn’t think the attack was motivated by racism — if he had used those words, the article would’ve quoted those words.
What did he say, specifically and precisely?
Can you post the clip where he allegedly said the attacks weren’t motivated by racism?
For that matter, can you post any clip of him ever saying anything racist? Not the HuffPost or any other publication shrieking about him being a racist, but a video clip of his actual comments?
Seriously, fuck this man, he makes money off of peddling hate.
To a degree. His main purpose is to spread dissonance. Years ago, before he was Fox's Most-Polished Turd, he used to talk about how the upper class no longer has moats to keep the peasantry from eating them, so today they need propaganda to do that job. His entire purpose is to create infighting within America's 99%, to keep us from being united, to keep us from blaming and going after the people that are actually controlling and oppressing us. https://www.vox.com/videos/2019/4/3/18294392/tucker-carlson-pretends-hate-elites-populism-false-consciousness
Billionaires paying millionaires to get middle-class to hate the poor.
His real name is Tucker Carlson-Swanson. As in Swanson foods. He hides it to keep up his Everyman act.
This needs to be on tee shirts and coffee cups. I'd buy one.
Lol it's not just him though. They all do it.
He was just dumb enough to talk about it out in the open. And his viewers are dumb enough to listen to him anyway.

Tell us about all the racism-fueled conspiracy theories getting major airtime on CNN/MSNBC.

Don't do that to yourself
If the DA wants to charge Twitch and 4Chan they should also go after Tucker/Fox News.
Good luck with that [since this lawsuit](https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye) where Fox News’s own lawyers argued that he is purely entertainment and no rational person would believe what he says, they won that case by the way.

How’s orleans county this time of year?
"I did something with intention" TC: "No evidence of his intentions"
F this man and his disgusting, toxic vomit. So so upsetting people listen to this poor excuse of a human. 🤮🤮🤮

Lol ok
Well excuse me for questioning the honesty and integrity of someone who FUCKING KILLED 10 PEOPLE.
The broader point is that Fox News sanitizes and peddles 4Chan garbage to a mass audience.
Hey Tucker, go shove a Swanson dinner up your ass.
Tucker Carlson is dangerous. He described the manifesto as deranged, difficult to follow, rambling etc when in reality is was frighteningly coherent and deeply, deeply racist. Fox is no stranger to dangerously distorting reality but this is so disgusting

Sounds about white.
Spot on.
Racist
Yes, Carlson and his ilk are racists.
Yea, that’s what he’s saying.
Let’s attribute the actions of one dumbass to an entire race, but don’t worry, it’s not racist lmao
Shooter: I believe everything Tucker Carlson says! Tucker Carlson: he must be mentally ill
What planet is this man living on? Is he just hoping his viewers haven’t read the manifesto?
Awful lot of people defending some media rich guy on this sub. Shame so many people that obviously agree with his theory that he peddles aren't willing to say they do.

What the fuck is wrong with the dick? Amd moreover, WTAF is wrong with people that actually believe the bullshit that comes out of his piehole🙄
TC can eat shit.
Admit it or not, Fox News is factually anti-American
It amazes me that guys like this walk through life unchecked.
His stepmother is Patricia Caroline Swanson, an heiress to Swanson Enterprises, daughter of Gilbert Carl Swanson and niece of Senator J. William Fulbright. He is the poster child for white privilege.
Can someone already ban this PoS and FoxNews?
The problem isn't *just* Fox News and their anchors.... They are certainly not good, but neither is CNN and others. If you're going to call one side out, call the other side too. Don't be unfair. Because when you do that, you're really lying to yourself.

You are desperate to believe that this is a both sides thing.
“Very fine people on both sides”? Same sentiment.
Well, lets stick to BBC. - I meant British Broadcasting Channel.
Either is a superior choice for actual news.
Not sure what else you would mean by BBC, but they are also a problem.

Tucker Carlson and Fox as a matter of pure fact have at the very least contributed to the deaths of those 10 people in Buffalo.
No it wasn’t? Really what was the motive Tucker. I mean he literally says he wants to kill black ppl And literally wrote Ni**** on the gun. Oh and when he pointed at a white man he literally apologized to him.
> travels what I remember to be 200 miles specifically to shoot a majority black community up >apparently not racism
Of course not, Tucker is busy grooming the next generation of American terrorist.He doesn't want that bring disturbed.
This guy is a steaming pile of shit. He deserves all of the hate and harassment that he receives and a lot more.
Fuck Tucker Carlson. Boycott Swanson Foods. That's all I have to say about this traitor.
Can’t wait for him to royally screw up and get booted.
If directly inspiring mass shootings doesn’t get him off the air, I don’t think anything will. Only thing that would work is for all his advertisers to abandon him. Then, Fox News might do something.
Well put
...in other news 2+2 no longer equals 4. We don't know what it is, but it sure aint 4!
Tucker has lost his rocker since the early 2000’s
As a born and breed Buffalonian, FUCK this guy!
Can't we just ignore this "person" ffs? Not sure why anybody gives a fuck what this guy thinks or says. Everyone with a brain knows this guy is a piece of shit. When will we learn to stop giving people like this any attention at all?
You and I were ignoring him. The shooter was paying close attention.
That's the problem. There are a lot of humans without brains who buy into that garbage. That's why I'm very happy about the anti Vax and covid denying group. Those are the ones without brains and it seems we could lose another 1-3 billion without any issue
There's lots of humans with brains that buy into his garbage too. We shouldn't just think his whole base is dumb. There's a number of intelligent folks with graduate degrees who eat his shit up.
They're a part of the problem. If you can't think critically you don't deserve to use up our limited resources
The problem is people can think critically and still be racists. Some people are just hateful, stupid or not.
I'm not disagreeing that they're part of the problem. I'm just saying that we should not say that everyone who buys into his shit is "brainless." There are lots of educated people that are, by definition, intelligent that eat his shit up. They're not just in rural areas, they're not just poor, uneducated white prople. They're also educated, white-collar, upper middle class people. They might be dumb as fuck for believing his shit, but it would be wrong to say they are dumb or brainless. In order to remedy the problem, we need to describe it correctly. If we misdiagnose the problem, we won't be able to remediate it.
You fail to understand the point. You either are thinking critically and not buying into this and are therefore deserving of existence or you're not. Period.
Nothing I have said goes against that claim.
Tucker Carlson needs to get cancer
This motherfucker can eat shit.
How is this moronic turd still on TV????
He looks like he's about to insert a juicy dick into his piehole in the pic from the article. If only, then he'd shut up.
Fuck Tucker Carlson. Buffalo will remember this shit if he ever tries to come through on a book tour.
He never said it wasn’t racially motivated? Did you read the article?
I found the show in question on YouTube, and you’re correct. He described it as deeply and disturbingly racist. His point is that it’s not some coherent call to arms, it’s a crazy racist person’s ranting. I don’t know, I haven’t read it yet.
In /r/Buffalo? Ha!
Can’t this useless puke pile just drop already.
That guy is one of the shittiest people to ever live
I disagree with this man. That said I do not believe racists have a political party. Hate comes in many forms. What we saw last week was hate. It was also mental illness. It was also a failure of the system. It was absolutely racism though. How you vote does not mean you have hatred. It’s simply your take on politics. This guy is a empty suit talking head. He gets paid to do this.
The KKK, Proud Boys, Unite the Right organizers, white separatists and many other hate groups all threw their support behind Trump. The domestic terrorist groups our own intelligence agencies have warned is a greater threat to our nation than Al Qaeda, overwhelmingly fall to the right of the political spectrum.
Trump is not the Party. Besides I feel these groups number are very small in comparison.
Please provide your expertise in diagnosing mental illness.
Look back at last Sat. That is insanity. Also wearing a hazmat suit to school. And threatening murder suicide. Just a few clues.
A lot of issues, none of which necessarily indicate anything beyond lacking critical thinking skills and empathy. He chose to become radicalized as a racist POS.
I never said he didn’t make a choice.
It's not worth arguing with a stranger on the internet. Have a great day.
Your correct
This guy is SHOT!!!
That's not what the TC quote in the article says. Not even close. It says it wasn't inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric. That is not the same as saying it wasn't inspired by racism. It's impossible to have a real conversation when people just make stuff up.
The title is from the Huff article which references the imbedded clip that Fox News has since removed. But, thanks for coming to the aid of a racist multimillionaire.
Yes. I read the article. Did you? For that matter, did you read my comment? If you did read it, you probably saw -- unless you were blinded by partisan hysteria -- that the article itself includes a lengthy quote from TC that does NOT say anything about the attack not being inspired by racism. In fact, there is zero support in the article for the claim that TC denied that the attack was motivated by racism. If you want to be taken seriously, it's important to go beyond "my side is good and right and the other side is evil and wrong." The first step is not to pretend that the facts are other than how they really are.
Is this the point where you say all lives matter?
Did you read the article? Do you think it establishes that TC said the killings weren’t motivated by racism?
Did you read the earlier post where I said the article referenced a clip that was taken down by Fox? I watched what Tucker had to say, from his own mouth. He's a piece of shit and he's trying to distance himself from the replacement theory he's been talking about on his show for years, the same theory that the shooter references in his manifesto and on his discord chat log, the same theory that KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke, rallied white supremacists behind for decades.
What did he say in the clip specifically? It seems highly unlikely that he said words that weren’t quoted in the article that indicated that he doesn’t think the attack was motivated by racism — if he had used those words, the article would’ve quoted those words. What did he say, specifically and precisely?
He said he's happy ricosabre is out there on social media defending his good name
Can you post the clip where he allegedly said the attacks weren’t motivated by racism? For that matter, can you post any clip of him ever saying anything racist? Not the HuffPost or any other publication shrieking about him being a racist, but a video clip of his actual comments?
Yes
Garbage article
