Tucker Carlson is a liar. Whether he lied in the texts exposed in the Dominion case (where he said he can't stand Trump, said Sidney Powell was full of it, and indicated he did not believe Trump's stolen election claims), or he's lying to you, he is a liar.
Why do you still trust him? Do you not know about the texts? Do you think they're "all made up"?
Are you so desperate to have your biases confirmed that you'd rather be lied to and be comfortable than be told the truth and forced to re-evaluate a few things?
It's not a binary. You can be conservative without having to believe every single thing shoved down your throat. Don't you think it's weird that FNC and other conservative media just happens to always find a "source" (no matter now lacking in credibility) that confirms every hare-brained conspiracy theory out there? Critical thinking skills are lost.
Yes, I have plenty of criticisms of the left, too (how they handle the issue of transpeople in sports, etc, over the top cancel culture and wokeism) but that's a topic for another day.

Why are you guys so obsessed with Tucker?
It's literally a new version of TDS: Tucker Derangement Syndrome.

Notice you didn't answer the question.
A huge chunk of the voters of a major political party believe a lot of things that are completely false (yes, there is stuff that makes this true for both parties)...and it's people like Tucker and Trump who are largely responsible for it. So if I'm "obsessed" that's why.

Because your questions are dumb ... and a lot of your post was just plain false.
Tucker called Sidney Powell a liar on air, was not only critical of Trump but equally critical of Republicans and Democrats.
His long form interviews were far more interesting than anything he did in his nightly show - if I'm going to miss anything, it's probably that.
It's just so weird that you guys are obsessed with him - and you even admit you are.
There are tons of talking heads on other cable news stations that are lunatics and push some crazy things - but I don't watch them. And I don't care if other people do. And I surely don't start threads about them and ask people why they "support" them.
Is Tucker perfect, nope. Not at all and he does push conspiracy theories at times since he knows this is popular among the right and it gets him views. That was part of his job at FOX get people to watch the show. But he also discussed and confronted topics everyone else just ignored and often cited real examples and facts to back up much of what he was saying. And this is why the left and even some on the established right hated him. A conspiracy nut you can simply laugh off but if you present rational thought out facts that threatens the powers that be you must be stopped.
No it's not that Tucker is perfect, or that we should believe everything he says. But here is the enormous, big kicker. He was the most trustworthy and perfect of our options on cable t.v. for news. Please point to somebody else, on any mainstream cable news channel that is more "honest" and "trustworthy" than Tucker. Give us some actual names and let the forum destroy them and point to the examples of the half truths and lies they have told.
Tucker is flawed but compared to our other options he is a the best out there. But I doubt you or anyone on the left would admit or even recognize that as the left voted in Joe Biden out of nothing more than pure HATE for Trump, regardless of the overall good State the Nation was in under Trump(before Covid).

for him to answer the question, would be to alter reality to make the question sensible.
so I second, why are you so obsessed? he is not on the air AT ALL at present. Isnt that a win in your book?
we could as easily ask (and have) why you support biden so, given all the negative things he has done to YOU specifically....
I watched his show occasionally. I thought he did very good in-depth reporting on events, much more so than other news people. I don't honestly care what his personal opinions were of anything, any more than I would care about the guy on the 6:00 news--it was his investigations that were interesting.
I did see last night that he didn't actually get fired so much as removed from broadcasting. His contract is good until December 2024, thus removing him from the entire election cycle. Unless he and his lawyer can get an exit plan to actually quit, then he can't be on any other show.
I wonder who thinks that he's that powerful that they are willing to pay him $40 million in wages to stay out of commenting on the election? Makes me wonder.
