Ain't gonna happen. Too much money in the outrage machine.

Short of something like his bosses and fellows (multiple instances of preying on young women), he's gonna keep doing the billionaires bidding.

Even the DC was funded by billionaire money..and, even then, it is losing money. But the MESSAGE the right wingers spread isn't about making a profit - it's about brainwashing.

I remember Carlson when he was a buttoned down old school conservative political commentator with his signature bow tie. Years ago he decided to go to the dark side with Fox News because political bombast and fake outrage was more profitable. He made the choice and now deal has to deal with the consequences.

He knows better not to talk that way now but does he still think those things today? More disturbing is there any truth to what he said? He was basically saying women despise weakness in a man.

There is a difference between comments that should not be made and sexually harassment. At least in my eyes there is a difference. I can't get over how those on the left will go after every conservative they can find. Talk about hateful? If you can't get Trump go after anyone you don't like who is on the other side. We will see who goes

Carlson is a white male who is controversial and white males are facing a reckoning.
White racist males are facing a reckoning because they have been unable or unwilling to become educated about the world in which they live .

They will eventually become extinct.

The Republican Party will have their class picture in the History Books like the Whigs and Lobsterbacks...characiture s all now.

After being caught on tape, calling women the C-word, calling women "primitive" and "like dogs," Tucker Carlson says he will NOT apologize for his comments.



Talk about arrogant and obnoxious

OMG, what are you talking about? What about the crap on MSNBC for starters, followed by CNN? I think both sides have done their share.. It is too bad the left can only see one side of the story, when those of us who think objectively can see both sides. You do realize there is a reason one network is number in ratings don't you?

add does it really make any difference what he did or did not say 10 or more years ago when it wasn't said on Fox in the first place? I would be shocked if this goes any further than right here.

Whenever I hear that name, I think of Hulk Hogan.

The sex tape/clip that leaked out with Hogan and a woman (via Gawker, IIRC) was of Hogan and Bubba the Love Sponge's real life wife.
After reading more of the thread, I learned that it is no longer only his stage name...that it is now also his legal 'first' name .
