What is Carlson doing by trying to portray J6 as peaceful tourism...

[brush]

using cherry-picked J6 clips supplied to him by McCarthy? We all know Carlson, Ingraham, and Hannity all knew trump, his sycophant admin figures and his lawyers knew the election denial was all false by the texts and emails revealed last week.

FOX owner Murdock himself admitted that Carlson and his colleagues were all lying on-air about J6 not being an insurrection/attempted coup.

So what is he accomplishing with this whitewashing attempt using the J6 tapes which contradicts what we know he really felt about it?

3. Poisoning the jury pool with misinformation.

It's a desperate move to keep cronies out of jail.

5. Big part of it. And so many poor americans actually rely on fux for all their news.

I do try to tell some of the folks I deliver meals to that fux is not a sole source of information.

I don't think they know how to "change the dial".

And, of course, they don't want to have to rethink their prejudices (just like the rest of us.)

4. They're certain that the MAGATs and true believers don't give a shit about the truth at this point.

They have proven that they will do exactly as they are told, without question.

There will always be some conspiracy theory to explain away why they said what they said, like Pelosi was holding a gun on them, they just said it to own the Libs, or some ludicrous nonsense made up in a kindergarten class for bad kids.

And of course they will not be held accountable in the slightest.

They have nothing to worry about.

6. This has been their narrative for over a year.

I have Fox News watching relatives. Apparently nothing happened, and it's all Nancy Pelosi's fault.

[machoneman]

15. Oh, and Hillary's fault. And Obama's. And every single breathing Democrat. Yah, sure!

7. Trying to see how much rewriting of current history is possible to the non-critical thinking masses

The GOP is currently gutting public education, and discouraging higher education, which should make Tucker's job even easier than it is today.

Tucker's endgame? Money, power, possibly a run for political office? But the thrill of having a mass of followers believe any outrageous thing he says is probably enough.

8. Being a fucking asshole

That’s what fucking assholes do

9. Bullshiting his audience as usual.

10. It's a 3rd rate rewrite of history.

11. He's giving his audience what they want.

He's a performer, you know. His show is a performance. His viewers are entertained by what he says. The advertisers get a gullible audience to pitch their crap to. Carlson gets paid millions. Everyone involved is happy.

12. I understand he's a performer, but if FOX loses this suit...

no one at that propaganda network will be happy, and it looks like they are about to have to cough up a billion plus.

[Mariana]

14. You asked what he's doing trying to portray J6 as peaceful tourism.

He's giving his audience what they want and expect when they turn on his show.

13. wait, i thought the rite was blaming antifa? so this means antifa are just tourists?
