Fox News fires Tucker Carlson

This is part of the reason why nobody is taking the far-left seriously.

Honestly, it's beyond embarrassing at this stage.

You may disagree with Fox News and Tucker Carlson's politics, but to perform the usual smear - to refer to him and others as "fascists" - is, as I say, embarrassing.

He wasn't "serious" that the US should invade Canada.

Many US talk show hosts are effectively entertainers. They say one thing for TV and entertainment and humour, whilst often concealing their real beliefs to their private life.

Just look at the way Carlson privately reviled Trump whilst, on the TV show, praising Trump to the rafters.

There's nothing unusual about this.

Carlson and others have to earn their wage. Being boring, saying anodyne statements, just won't cut it.

If you're taking Carlson seriously about invading Canada, that's about as ludicrous as believing that David Icke "seriously" believes that the Royal Family are private lizards.

Money is what speaks at this level, not seriousness.

Your lack of engagement with the substance of my posts suggests otherwise.

Argumentum ad lapidem springs to mind.

There is no evidence that Tucker Carlson is a fascist.

You also clearly lack understanding in what that logical fallacy means, too (incidentally, even if your comparison were true, which it isn't, it would be an example of tu quoque).

You can disagree with some of his political opinions, but a fascist he ain't.

It's nothing more than beating a straw man, or perhaps even a red herring.

You clearly do not understand what you are talking about.

That's a pretty bad attempt at trying to square that circle, yet again misrepresenting the facts - just as you continue to do with Tucker Carlson.

That's because you're not interested in what the facts have to say. You're interested only in peddling the line of your ideological beliefs.

Just like Tucker incessantly praised Trump on his TV show, whilst privately disdaining the man - or, to borrow a quote, "his own words".

But this is all too inconvenient for you, right!?

After all, for you and others, Tucker Carlson is a MAGA Fascist who wants Donald Trump to become some ethno-nationalist military Dictator, praising the man on his knees, from dawn till dusk.

The reality of the situation is entirely different: that what Carlson says on his TV show is first and foremost a personality speaking, and what Carlson believes privately is another matter entirely. Certainly something more mundane and uninteresting.

Just like most news anchors, entertainers, and other established personalities throughout the US news and media circuit. Deep down, you know this to be true.

But you want us to ignore this reality to instead engage in some quite frankly embarrassing argument that Tucker Carlson wants the US Armed Forces to literally invade Canada, depose Justin Trudeau, and install some kind of obsequious dictator - presumably one approved by Donald Trump!?

Look, this borders the level of nonsense we see in those who follow the likes of Alex Jones and David Icke.

Most sensible people can see beyond the surface level entertainment value to what actually animates their performances on TV shows.

This is now beyond parody.

You are arguing in bad faith, deliberately ignoring all the evidence against your position. Misapplying logical fallacies doesn't help, either.

My position on Tucker Carlson stands.

Everyone else can see that you are purposefully not engaging with the actual substance and contexts of my posts.

That shows a lack of confidence in your position, if anything.
