Tucker Carlson on PBS

[ochazuke]

Did anyone see him tonight? I saw it and noted that he referred to "the left", "the anti-war left", "left-wing" people innumerable times, but never to "the right", the "pro-war right", or "right-wing". He referred to himself as "conservative", which is what rightists like to call themselves (sort of like fundamentalists calling themselves "Christians").

I mention that as pointing out not only his bias, but his lack of awareness of his bias. Compare his show to NOW, which is liberal, but uses the English language in a more value-neutral way.

1. Compaired to Now

3. I've heard that NOW is going to be cut...

to ½ hour when Bill Moyers leaves this fall. :(

2. Bowties cut off curculation to the brain.

That explains the "reasoning" of Tucker Carlson and Georg Will, but it doesn't explain why anyone with a conscience would put them in front of a camera to spew their right-wing dog shit.

4. Tucker the Hamster with a bow tie is on because...listen

FAIR's Steve Rendell tells Dave Berkman host of Wisconsin Public Radio's Media Talk that NPR budget cuts has it pandering to richer corporate master that will only donate if their nepotistic needs are filled like hiring dim-witted, bow-tided Freeple.

Have a listen... it's archived already.

5. Carlson's reference to the "anti-war left" and his attribution that

this group blamed Israel for our going into Iraq was patently false. This guy has no shame. He had an official from Israel in front of him and never really went into the fact that Israel is now training Kurds and hedging their bets for the turmoil now created by the Bushies. I sent an email to the local PBS manager wanted an explanation for NOW being on at 10:00pm on Fridays and this pin head in on at prime time on Sunday. If I wanted to see him I would watch FOX. If we don't get this Administration out, we will be reduced to slipping notes under doors to get the truth out.
