it’s amazing the power of celebrity influence. likewise, if some trashy obnoxious youtuber posted something on twitter it goes viral

And... if Kim Kardashian shows her nekkid arse, Twitter, and possibly wider parts of the Interwebs, will break. Big whoop.

I've always felt like Tucker Carlson is a hyperbolic grifter, but he is still more honest than almost anyone else in the media. Especially on the important issues like the Ukraine War.

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.

People like drama.

Don't you think Tucker Carlson's firing from Fox News is more impactful than whatever Kim Kardashian is doing? There is a reason many people think Tucker Carlson is a danger to the United States. He has been informing the masses and shaping the public discourse for years. He appeals to both the left and right, and gets more democrat views than Rachel Maddow.

You have a lot of people genuinely afraid for the future of the country when people like Tucker Carlson get pulled from the air(while others probably believe his firing saved the country). I can't think of anyone else who could remotely compare except maybe Donald Trump. And even then, Tucker Carlson has more broad appeal than Donald Trump.

No. He's a liar who admitted to such, cost his job a lot of money and got himself fired.

Easy peasy.

He is a liar, yes. But he is still more honest than anyone else in the mainstream media.

Only his devotees on the right believe he is the beacon of truth as MTG expressed but as the Dominion lawsuit exposed he lied to placate his viewers knowing what he said was false.

He's not a Journalist, he's an entertainer and that's what appeals to people.
