Youre not fooling anybody: Eichenwald challenges Tucker Carlson with a binder full of his falsehoodsSARAH K. BURRIS
15 DEC 2016 AT 20:19 ET
Fox News host Tucker Carlson got more than he bargained for when he had Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald on his show Thursday night. Eichenwald was prepared with a huge binder that said Tucker Carlson Falsehoods on the front of it. The binder held all of the examples of false information that Carlson has spoonfed Fox News viewers.
Carlson decided to hit Eichenwald for the tweets that the reporter was pushing out against Carlson. He also claimed Newsweek has suddenly developed a left-leaning slant to their news coverage. According to Mediaite, Carlson took issue with the Eichenwald tweet, I believe Trump was institutionalized in a mental hospital for a nervous breakdown in 1990, which is why he wont release medical records.
Eichenwald began to explain but Carlson interrupted. Eichenwald began to speak again but Carlson hammered him more, demanding to know if Eichenwald believed Trump was in a mental hospital or not. Eichenwald took issue with the interruptions, ultimately resorting to asking Carlson, Would you like me to answer the question or not?
Eichenwald at one point shot back to Carlson, claiming, Youre not fooling anybody, youre trying to stop me from giving the answer.

Long-term posters have noticed substantial attempts to defray and silence the dialogue here.

You're the one who called DU 'ultra-partisan'. I don't agree. And I didn't 'rip your throat out'.

I don't take political disagreement for "disingenuous infiltration", for the most part, Perse.
