FOX lawyer admits Tucker Carlson is fake news

Scott D. Pierce: Fox lawyers admit Tucker Carlson doesn’t always tell the truth - The Salt Lake Tribune



This isn't news (see what I did there) but a FOX lawyer admitting it out loud is.


If only the writer of this opinion piece, could do better to hide just how biased he was about this whole process. We'd be able to received much less misrepresentation, in simply reading the article.

Then again, by doing so. The writer is showing that they are just as capable of lying, as they're currently trying to implicate with Carlson.
 
You both forgot to mention you tune in to listen to Tucker's LIES (as his lawyers confirmed). Not being news is one thing. Being LIES is a whole other.



I'll start believing you when you start posting links to credible sources - link us to what judge said and quote the relevant part...



So he tells his LIES to a wide audience. What's your point?

You must think a popular magician show is real because a lot of people watch it?

You seem to be at a strange end on knowing the difference between opinions and lies.
 
"what he says isn’t necessarily true"

Yes, and what you say isn't necessarily true either.

Do you not understand what the difference between an opinion and a lie is?
 
The whole bunch remind me of Toddler Man: Oh, Ha ha ha..just a joke! Yeah..MF..you didn't tell it like a joke, did you?. I'd like to joke them with a....(insert some nasty) here.
 
Infotainment is the problem, I would rather have actual investigative journalism rather than this pop news nonsense and I think sometimes you have to present the masses with something intellectual over something that is merely entertaining.

How much would you pay for that? $20 a month?
 
Lol if you could be just a little bit more specific that would be awesome! I have no clue what you're referring to

That explains your entire posting history at DP.
 
Mr. Lawyer is correct. I do not tune into Tucker to hear the news.
Who TF tunes into cable evening programming to hear the news???

But good to know Tucker is still an elephant-size burr under your saddles.

Good luck getting him to go away.


I'd like to see some actual examples of Tucker's "intentional lies". What really makes me doubt the veracity of this "report", is the claim made by the lawyer that "everyone watching Tucker knows he's lying all the time, but they listen anyway". Thats just plain stupid and counterintuitive! That claim alone should raise red flags with everyone!


The left lost their "news" monopoly in the 90s, when Fox News appeared. So they've successfully "conditioned" devoted liberals/progressives to fear and hate Fox News, thereby ensuring that leftists ONLY hear their partisan views and propaganda.

Thats the whole point of this report! Tucker is way more popular, than Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo etc, simply because those 3 lost LARGE numbers of viewers after 2.5 years of PROVABLE LIES REGARDING "RUSSIAN COLLUSION"!
 
Yes, and what you say isn't necessarily true either.

Do you not understand what the difference between an opinion and a lie is?

I dont think that most people know the difference between hard news shows and commentary shows. The left are very good at blurring the lines between the two, just as they are very good at redefining terms, like "racism" and "violence"
For instance, popular leftist celebs/news media figures can tweet and brag about how they "HATE white people so much that ENJOY watching them suffer", and thats NOT racist!! In fact, its so acceptable that the New York Times hires people whove done just that! They dont even fire them once their bigotry is exposed!

That brings us to "violence". A white conservative criticizing a non-white democrat can and often will be labeled "hate speech that should be considered violence, because it "may" motivate some crazy person to be violent. But at the same time, actual physical violence carried out by BLM or ANTIFA or other communist radicals ISNT referred to as violence! Its called "protest"!
 
That explains your entire posting history at DP.

Azgreg, lol if you're making a legitimate point, explain the context of this post please...

"So, you still don't know what the word came means."

Otherwise, I'll assume you're just covering for an error you made

That was some weird auto correct error. Is that what you are blaming your entire posting history on?

Seriously, could you please summarize your question to me lol?

The article implied that Tucker lies, his lawyer simply stated his show is not "sober factual reporting," meaning it's opinion. She did not imply that his opinions were not based on facts, if I missed something, please state explicitly what I missed. Thank you. ;)

I'm watching some British shows at the moment. Changing channels is that easy.

Sure. I'll ask again. What was fake about the article?

So you agree with the article then.
 

Tucker Carlson Has Highest-Rated Program In Cable News History


Tucker Carlson Has Highest-Rated Program In Cable News History

Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson closed out television’s second quarter with one for the record books: his Tucker Carlson Tonight finished the quarter as the highest-rated program in all of cable news for the first time since the show’s launch, delivering an average total audience of 4.331 million viewers. In the process, Carlson broke a record held by his colleague, Sean Hannity, for the highest-rated quarter of any cable news program—ever.

It was a solid quarter for the network, which finished in first place across all of cable television for the first time in the network’s history, beating out all basic cable networks among total viewers and viewers 25-54, the demographic group most valued by national advertisers.

A lot of people watched Stranger Things as well. Doesn't mean it's factusl.
 
Sure. I'll ask again. What was fake about the article?

Lol I can't tell if you're doing this on purpose or just trying to muzzle the thread...

Tucker Carlson is an opinion host, he does not simply read off facts. All his opinions, however, are based on facts.

When his lawyer said his show was not characterized by "sober factual reporting," that was not any kind of implication that he was lying about facts. Simply that he was not reporting facts in a rote manner.
 
No that is what Rachel Madcow used......

Any belief that Rachel Maddow is a journalist was set to rest in a San Diego federal courtroom on Friday, with a federal judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought against Maddow. The judge concluded that Maddow was far too silly to be taken as a credible news source.

First of all, the nuisance suit brought by OAN was dismissed back in May, not Friday. And secondly, you're making up they reason why the suit was flushed.

Rachel Maddow Wins Dismissal of OAN Defamation Lawsuit - Variety

In dismissing the suit on Friday, U.S. Judge Cynthia Bashant ruled that Maddow was giving her opinion based on an accurate summation of the article.

This is different than sucker carlson lying.

There are a lot of terrible programs that are highly rated. Look at how successful "reality tv" is.
