Found this article a couple weeks ago from Greenwald. Talks about Carlson and Maddow’s defamation lawsuits. Unfortunately we still have to figure out fact from fiction or facts vs opinion.

To me, these kinds of cable news pundits need to be locked up and thrown away the key. All they do is cause division and spread extremism on both sides while lining their pocketbooks. They’re scum.

I've always thought that there should be something in the upper left or right corner of the screen that says 'News' or 'Opinion' so as to clarify what is being presented. That way opinion cannot be expressed as news. Also would help against lawsuits which I think will become many.

The key is just not watching cable news, or any mainstream news for that matter. Really MSM is worse because the Carlsons and Maddox’s don’t try to hide their bias. Speaking of which, the sources that told us Rittenhouse was a white supremacist and hunted down and killed blacks people are now telling us the Waukesha mass murder was unintentional.

Example? None of the MSM that I read even remotely make such a suggestion.

Yeah not seen one reference of that except by maybe the BLM org. Freakshow. Sounds like a Facebook story.

Update/ So I have now seen it reported by cbs news as a “crash” in the title which is at best misleading. So much of our media is such a joke.

Seems to me that pushing a false story about collusion that was 100% designed to undermine a sitting President and cause an Impeachment and reverse a free and fair election plus squashing a true story about Hunter Biden-A Presidential Candidate’s & “The Big Guy’s” son- that directly implicates undue Chinese influence, PLUS squashing a story about Eric Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee sleeping with a verified Chinese spy (Maddow) (Tapper) might be a little more dangerous to democracy than whether a guy “akshually” died of fentanyl in his system (when he ACTUALLY had fentanyl in his system) (Carlson)
But that’s just me.
Happy Thanksgiving.

In other words, "sorry, you're right, I was wrong."

Never did I say any of the above didn't happen nor did I ever say that only one side of the aisle lies their ass off. They both do.

Reminder that this started because you asked for Tucker's lies of which there are plenty.

Not at all what I said but if you are so narcissistic that you feel the need to take a solo victory lap, go for it. No one’s watching.
All we’ve heard for the previous 4 years was “Threats to democracy” from “progressives”. Seems as if Carlson documents those threats more accurately than Maddow, Tapper, Stelter, Reid etc. And the ratings show it.
Have your fun, man. (Shoulder shrug)

Not narcissistic, I just find it incredibly annoying when people can’t admit they are wrong, even when proven wrong, just like you have several times.

Thanks Mr. low self esteem. I haven’t been wrong.
Give me some more of “Tucker’s lies” please. Lies that are threats to the Republic.
