Tucker Carlson to launch right-leaning HuffPo alternative
@ 12:20 pm by Michael O'Brien


Pundit Tucker Carlson publicly announced Tuesday that a right-leaning news site resembling the Huffington Post he's been planning will go live within weeks.

Carlson will launch TheDailyCaller.com, which he said would focus on reporting on the Obama administration and "adding facts to the conversation."

"We are a general-interest newspaper-format style site," Carlson told conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday. "There just aren't enough people covering this administration and telling the people what's going on."

Carlson, a former conservative and libertarian pundit (most notably on CNN), touted his site as a home for basic reporting.

"Tell the truth, and be accurate," Carlson said of the venture's goals. "It's very important to live up to the basic standards of journalism."

4. "basic standards of journalism."

Tucker Carlson??? :rofl: :rofl:

[brucefan]

5. Ha!

That little Fucker wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit him in the ass.

[AndyA]

6. I'm sure he'll be open and honest, just like he always has been, right?

Like when he made sure everyone knew his family was collecting lots of money to pay for Little Scooter Libby's defense...oh wait...he didn't. He said nothing, just "reported" the story.

Yeah, I'm sure the site will be a big hit with the hypocritical, bigoted, hate filled, bow tie crowd. :eyes:

[Stinky The Clown]

This is what unemployed former teevee hosts who are assholes do.

He won't work again as a primary on-air "talent" so he does this from home.

Fuck this pathetic asshole.

[babylonsister]

9. I heard he got a gig on faux? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Not much bigger a gig than MSNBC gave him after they cancelled his show

He's a "guest commentator" along with that SuperAirhead, Perino.

[librechik]

7. Hold your nose, Tucker--it's time to

Dive!






Dive!





Dive!

8. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Fucker Carlson is an ass! LOL! n/t

[Jazzgirl]

28. Oh snap!! You stole my name for him!!!

[BolivarianHero]

10. I got the perfect name for it...

The BowZo. :-)

[babylonsister]

13. Ha! I like it, and welcome to DU! nt

[eleny]

11. How original

[tridim]

14. He was shamed off of television so he's going to apply his failure to the Internets now.

Great plan you have there there Fucker.

[county worker]

15. You know if I were a freeper I would be proud.

With all that is going on in the world, why are so many right wing pundits catering to the freeper - ditto head contingent? That contingent is shrinking and the pundits are growing so that soon the numbers of pundits and the numbers of freepers will be equal! Soon each freeper wing nut will have their own pundit to cater to them.

[Kaleko]

29. LOL. This is a trend we have to keep our eyes on.

Very astute of you to point it out.

:thumbsup:

[O is 44]

16. "Tell the truth, and be accurate"

Yeah right, this is the same guy who wrote an article after Obama spoke at Notre Dame accusing the President of not using the word abortion in his speech. This of course was easily debunked. This guy has some nerve, all they do is lie and spin.

[olegramps]

17. Tucker Carlson is a nauseating.

He is such a mamby-pamby he makes Peewee Herman appear to be Rambo in comparison. Tucker is the milquetoast of humanity.

[eShirl]

18. that silly little poser?

fmeh.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Townhall with a bowtie. n/t

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. TheDailyCuller.com is probably more fitting.

[Kahuna]

21. Is that so?

:rofl:

[rug]

22. He should call it Mothertucker.

[armyowalgreens]

23. Tucker Carlson is a fucking douche.

[rvablue]

24. Wouldn't that be the Drudge Report?

Poor Tucker. He must need some cash.

Too bad nobody cares what he has to say and he couldn't make it on TV.

[rurallib]

25. Sadly it will be quoted all over by the "media"

[Ikonoklast]

26. I either hear or don't hear a tree falling somewhere...

Tucker Carlson is that tree.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

27. Tucker Carlson is a certified moron and I can prove it

I saw him discussing healthcare one time and he asked why should a young healthy person have health insurance if they chose not to.

It was as though he lived in a bizarro world where young people (20s-30) did not ever get sick, they never had accidents, and they would just never, ever require expensive healthcare. If he was serious when he said it, then he is a complete moron. If he said it while knowing otherwise, then he is just a venal creep.

He's said many, many dumb things throughout out the years, but I thought this was his apex of nincompoopery.

[mitchum]

30. Daddy and his friends are bankrolling another lemonade stand for Little Tucker

nothing new

[NoPasaran]

31. Fine with me

As long as anyone linking to it gets an automatic granite cookie.

[SoCalDem]

32. Ho-hum . Republicans just don't "get it", do they?

The REASON that HuffPo "suceeded" was because there were NO "left-leaning" sites of much consequence, and because SHE had a national reputation AND scads of money. ..her own, and that of supporters.

Little BowtieBoy, is just a petulant has-been. He does have personal money, but his step-mother, who apparently gave birth to him too, will probably not be doling out wads of moolah for his next "adventure"..

Tucker will soon find out that there are already loads of rigfht-winger sites, and his will emerge with a squeek, instead of a roar..

[zbdent]

33. "adding facts to the conversation." ...

thanks for making our arguments for us, F*cker!
