So you don't want truth.

I want truth but I don't expect truth from anyone. Not from Tucker Carlson. Not from Rachel Maddow. Not from Joe Biden. Not from Donald Trump. Not from the women on The View. Not from CNN. Not from Fox News. Not from Nancy Pelosi. Not from Mitch McConnell. Not from Exxon Mobil. Not from Disney. Not from Google. Not from Facebook. Not from Elon Musk. Not from Bill Gates. Not from anyone.

As I said... He was a liar but he was still more honest than everyone else(and your selective snipping/underlining of my post includes you).

Huh? You don't know what news I read or how I vet it.

You saw me criticize Tucker, so you regurgitated what you've been taught and what you never question: "oh no, this person criticized a conservative, she's listening to the news outlets MY news outlets tell me she does."

Carlson will be forgotten like Bill O'Reilly. YouTube subs, and views are not the same as what they had on Fox News.

I was turned off by Tucker Carlson because of his interview with Dave Rubin several years back when they were discussing his "transformation" from his early days as a Republican hack. Let's just say, he is not a man of the people, he is anti-revolutionary, and he is disgusted by populism.

The kindest description I could give to Tucker would be pragmatic patriot.
This almost exactly mirrors my experience. I never watched a personal interview of his until the most recent one on the Full Send podcast and I was shocked. He was so obnoxious, rude, and speaking out of turn about his host's home country. I couldn't believe he was the same person I watched on tv. Not a good person at all.

Ok, but Jerry, Rip, Springer had about 8 million viewers. I don’t know why. It just tells you something about the American people.

This is exactly why I became a fan of Tucker. It started when someone shared his take on the Syrian war and the USA maybe getting involved.

No, when it comes right down to it, "T&A" will always be more impactful than anything the Tuckster or anyone else is doing or saying. The Internet, not to mention biological drives, bears that out.

I watched one day, prob visiting someone who has cable, and it was a subject I knew a lot about. He take his guest, ask a question, and cut him off as soon as got what he wanted, before the guy could further explain the whole thing. He manipulated that conversation and then reiterated his version saying the guest, some one from that field, specifically verified his thoughts on the matter.
If you had any sort of discernment, you can see what’s being shoved in between the lines. No thanks. They often only put guests with the same thought pattern. Just an echo chamber. Almost like listening to a broken record…
