LAST MONTH, FOX News Tucker Carlson was granted exclusive access to the trove of more than 44,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. On Monday night Carlson released the first installment of his analysis of the tapes, telling viewers that the vast majority of the protestors who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 were not insurrectionists but orderly and meek sightseers.
Carlson opened his Monday night monologue by reiterating the networks claims of 2020 election malfeasance, stating that the 2020 election was a grave betrayal of American democracy given the facts that have since emerged about that election. No honest person can deny it.
From that jumping point, Carlson used cherry picked, time-stamp free clips to paint a picture of peaceful protesters who were being unfairly targeted by the Department of Justice and the Democratic party. Carlsons use of the footage essentially amounted to a declaration that because Fox had identified some images of some trespassers simply milling about, nothing uncouth actually happened in the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The Fox host and his guests crafted an image of peaceful protesters, who were ushered into the Capitol by police officers and spent their time exploring the complex with an air of reverence. Charlie Hurt, appearing as a guest on the show, falsely asserted that there was no evidence rioters inside the capitol were armed.
Carlson declared that members of the Jan. 6 Committee lied about what they saw and then hid the evidence from the public, as well as from January 6th criminal defendants and their lawyers.

(17,235 posts)Within the first 3 minutes he actually said "Donald Тяцмp was responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection"
Right in the middle of a 2 minute long sentence, had to listen to it almost 10 times to make sure he was throwing
Тяцмp under the bus and he was. Then he started in on his "Rs are victims bullshit"
So as the future unfolds Tucker will be pulling that clip out so he can prove he told his viewers Тяцмp was
responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection. His viewers are so stupid they probably didn't catch it, and if Тяцмp
did he'll be badmouthing FO卐 shortly.

To be clear... Their take is a stinking crock of shit, I just wanted to post it within the thread so that it might be further excoriated, disembowelled, and disabused.

Once one has rejected doubt, one has rejected reason and simultaneously embraced delusion.
There is no reason within delusion.
Therefore there is no reasoning with delusion.
This is that.
