Agreed, but my hope is that this means Rachel Maddow will finally get her own TV show! *crosses fingers*

I hope he stays in DC for a while so I still have a chance to randomly spot him across the street, run through four lanes of traffic, leap over a beggar and break his insipid jaw into seven thousand granules with a single left hook

otherwise I guess I'll see the little shit in hell

Oh well, I guess it's David Gregory instead. I wish he would co-host with Tony Snow.

Home at Cato:

"I've admired the Cato Institute since I first read its publications, passed around like samizdat on my college campus," said Carlson of his new affiliation. "When I moved to Washington, I discovered that my impression of Cato had been right: The people I met there were some of the smartest, bravest and most interesting in the city. While others are blinded by expedience or group think, Cato stands on principle, always. I'm honored to be affiliated with it."

Carlson will use his initial time with Cato to focus on writing a book on the state of the American polity. Through other writings as well as media and public speaking appearances, he will also seek to educate the broader public about how the libertarian philosophy differs from the standard liberal and conservative orthodoxies embodied in the two main U.S. political parties.

Somehow I had missed Nat Hentoff had ended up there too.

It was ironic, in a way, that it would be the Daily Caller that published e-mails from Journolist. A few weeks ago, its editor, Tucker Carlson, asked if he could join the list. After asking other members, I said no, that the rules had worked so far to protect people, and the members weren't comfortable changing them.

Hi Tucker - I'm interested in the remarks you made today about Iran; specifically, that it "deserves to be annihilated" ( http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/02/22/430302/tucker-carlson-iran-annihilated/ ). I have a few questions about that:

(1) Do you have any specific ideas for how Iran should be annihilated? Do you favor a ground invasion, or a nuclear attack, or carpet bombing or something else? I realize you included the caveat that we should assess what effect it would have on energy prices, but assuming that's not an impediment, how should the annihiliation be achieved?

(2) Given your history of being a vocal proponent of American wars, have you ever considered enlistening and fighting in any of the wars you favor? I'm not suggesting that's an obligation for war advocacy: i'm just genuinely curious if you have considered it, and if so, why haven't you done it?

(3) When formulating your thoughts about annihilation, did you give any thought to how many Iranians would be killed from that? Do you have any idea of how many would die? Is there some number that's unacceptable to you?

Thanks -

Glenn Greenwald

he's also terrible, but asking him why he never thought to serve in the military is such a groaningly transparent question

if gg was more honest he would've sent him these three questions instead:

1. Are you a secret psychopath?
2. When did you stop being a secret psychopath?
3. Are you a chickenhawk?

That's not titillation: that's tantric Stingsex.

to whom does the answer to the chickenhawk question matter? it's scoring a political point.

Assuming all of the allegations in the article are true, Carlson and Coglianese fail to do one important thing. They do not rebut or even attempt to rebut any of the reporting that Media Matters has made regarding inaccurate or misleading comments in conservative media.

Alex Pareene lets it rip:

Here’s how dedicated Carlson is to producing quality journalism: He hired, as his executive editor, a former strategist for Berman and Co., the “communications firm” that specializes in the creation of shadowy front groups and biased “research” for their clients in major industries. A man whose job was to deceive journalists on behalf of corporations, as editor. He hired Ginni Thomas — the wife of Clarence Thomas, major Tea Party figure and complete weirdo — as a special correspondent, mere months after Thomas had explicitly lied to a Caller reporter.

Carlson is now engaged in giving the people — the idiotic, angry, paranoid people — what they want, which became incredibly apparent once the Caller began tackling the Trayvon Martin tragedy by launching a campaign to prove that Martin had been a thug. It was barrel-scraping racist garbage. Martin’s Twitter feed and social media presence were cherry-picked to make him seem scary because he engaged in adolescent macho posturing. It was convincing proof that Martin wasn’t as “innocent” as he seemed, if your definition of “innocence” is “not young, black and male.” Asinine race-related trolling is now a major Caller beat, naturally, because, again, it’s good for traffic. I don’t think Carlson is remotely as racist as he is sexist and homophobic, which just makes it even grosser that he’s willing to exploit conservative racism for fun and profit.

factoid the berman in berman and co is David berman of the silver Jews dad

lol yeah I remember the huge piece Berman wrote about that.

Also, Tucker Carlson is one of those people who is just so intrinsically horrible and bad for America that I would happily shove him, screaming, into a blazing furnace.

Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why."

― omar little,

I don't understand why he would apologize over this or why anyone would expect him to. Who exactly would he be apologizing to? His viewers? His viewers agree with him

I can't find it now but will look again later, but I saw a clip on youtube arguing that Leftist guests going on Tucker's show to use his platform are themselves being used by Tucker as a gateway to reach younger viewers. Tucker's no dummy, will give him that, and he knows his 'economic populist' argument can hit a chord outside his target audience. I'm on the fence about this, the almost fawning reception he gets from the likes of Jimmy Dore (and Glenn Greenwald) is dispiriting. Kulinski will be critical of Tucker on his show, but did give me pause for thought still - if you use a master propagandists platform, is there a price to pay (Tucker obviously thinks so, he never battles or interrupts his leftists guests, they have all the time in the world)

Ultimately, I think the value of going on outweights the price, but Tucker is an insidious operator, hmm

Don't go on the white nationalist happy hour show. This is not difficult.

I've not actually been asked yet but I'll bear that in mind for sure!

carlson told his viewers that an upcoming NYT story was going to reveal his address (which NYT denies - have they ever doxxed someone?), then his followers found the addresses of the reporter and photographer and doxxed him instead, while the right (including ken fucking cuccinelli) started blurring the the lines between fact, fiction, future, and present, vaguely telling their own followers that the NYT had plans to dox Carlson, or even that they had already done so.

I think the NYT story is about sexual harassment claims.

that is also a story (and includes other Fox assholes), but supposedly NYT were/are preparing to run a separate piece on fucker this week

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is fashioning something of a professional defense: Sure, he lies, but not the way those guys at CNN lie.

In a 2018 podcast appearance, he ripped into CNN “Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter. “He’s just such a pompous little guy. … I mean, he’s one of the falsest people I’ve ever seen on television. … He’s just so, like, self-righteous … but also lying at the same time. Like, I lie ’cause everyone does. But one thing I would never do, have never done in my whole life, is lie self-righteously,” said Carlson in a chat with Jamie Weinstein. Moments later, he reversed: “I don’t lie.”

Three years on, Carlson’s not even trying to correct the record. In a new interview on “The Rubin Report,” he fielded a question about CNN anchors who “just lie again and again.” Carlson came up with a memorable response: “Well, it’s — I guess, I would ask myself, like, I mean, I lie if I’m cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t — I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever, but to systematically lie like that, without asking yourself, why am I doing this?” (See video at 36:00.)

The highly rated Fox News host argued that CNNers lie to prop up the powerful people in American life. “You’re lying to defend Jeff Bezos? You’re treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader?”

The admission was bizarre in light of the context: Host Dave Rubin didn’t ask Carlson whether he lies, but Carlson came out with his confession nonetheless. Maybe he feels bad about it all?

Nor did Rubin follow up on Carlson’s newsworthy admission. The opportunity for just such a cross-examination may well arise in the future, however. The next time that Carlson decides to smear someone on air, that someone’s libel attorney will surely point out in a complaint that Carlson has freely admitted to lying. Fox News defended a previous suit stemming from Carlson’s show by arguing that he engages in “non-literal commentary.”

Hail ye Taxi

A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.

The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Mr. Carlson’s firing.

In the message, sent to one of his producers in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Mr. Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men — Trump supporters, he said — violently attacking “an Antifa kid.”

It was “three against one, at least,” he wrote.

And then he expressed a sense of dismay that the attackers, like him, were white.

“Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote.

“It’s not how white men fight,” he said. But he said he found himself for a moment wanting the group to kill the person he had described as the Antifa kid.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/business/media/tucker-carlson-text-message-white-men.html

Did they not realize he was racist until now?

they realized he was a liability.

This asshole has been failing up and down for decades. He's like a big turd that just can't be flushed.

White turds don't flush like that.

Josh only shits on rollercoasters

loop de poop

Like popcorn kernels hitting hot oil in the saucepan, you are on a timer when those turds hit water. Better get that lid down.

because I am built the way I am internally I have a deep desire for a guy like this to fall hard, to feel some pain and regret over how the choices he's made about how to look at the world have resulted in both 1) a worse world for others and 2) a waste of potential, which is to say, I am kind of a simpleton who doesn't accept the actual realities of the world, which are that he was born rich and will die rich and 100% does not give a shit where he has to peddle his grift at this point because the mechanisms for converting setbacks into gain are all right there for him, and yet I can't rid myself of the desire for him to be thinking, I fucked up, I fucked up, perhaps I am the problem

I was tempted to feel that way when I read this story too — I don’t actually watch his show, so my first reaction was that it was a surprising moment of introspection. but others more familiar with him see through it:

This text is emblematic of Carlson’s rhetorical strategy on his every show: overtly pushes hate, racism, encouraging brutality, but then he rhetorically stands back from it, as if to say, but of course, I am a good person and am not advocating this very thing I relentlessly push. pic.twitter.com/ylzgd8DlCq

gee i wonder if tucker would have aired that video on his show if it were 3 "antifa kids" beating the shit out of a trump supporter instead

maybe the 3 Trump kids really were Antifa kids

Someone needs to tell the KKK that teaming up on an individual is not how white people fight.

the “how white men fight” comment is so fucking crazy

i can’t stop thinking about it

i mean it is racist in the literal sense. but like.. what does it even mean. “white men usually fight with ‘honor’”? tu think that? to write it down?? the mind reels

Is Tucker southern? I know I could find that out easily but I refuse to. anyway, ime a few people were still saying "that's mighty white of you" in Georgia in, at least, the 90s

lol no from San Francisco upper class

In Tucker's world a Trump supporter would have a servant carry a card to the Antifa kid demanding satisfaction.

lmao at “white men don’t fight like that”

I guess this is the worldview you from when it only takes one person to beat you up

tucker could definitely use a good ass kicking

I guess his Twitter show debuted last night.

NYT:

The 10-minute video, Mr. Carlson’s first extended commentary since Fox took him off the air in April, was similar to a stripped-down version of what his roughly three million Fox viewers would have seen on his nightly program.

There were no guests or produced segments — only a monologue from Mr. Carlson, in which he hit some familiar themes. He expressed sympathy for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and mocked President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. He accused the mainstream media of lying. He wrapped up by declaring that U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial life are “actually real.”

“As of today, we’ve come to Twitter,” Mr. Carlson said in the video. “We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave.”

Ryan Broderick's Garbage Day newsletter:

Tucker Carlson’s First Twitter “Show” Is Bad

To be clear, I don’t mean it’s “bad” ideologically. It’s genuinely a poorly made and extremely pathetic attempt from a production standpoint. It’s boring and ugly and would not do well on a platform that had real metrics. If it wasn’t being heavily promoted by Elon Musk and his cronies I’m not even sure it would do well on Twitter.

Carlson’s video is 10 minutes of meandering ranting and archival footage and I honestly couldn’t even tell you what it’s about. It doesn’t even have graphics, apart from a “Tucker On Twitter” watermark. Bro, hire a teenaged MrBeast fan to give you some fun subtitles or dynamic zoom cuts or something.

Thing is, dipshits like him genuinely believe that every brain dripping that trickles out of their feedholes is so important and mesmerizing that they don't need production values.

No-one watches his Twitter stuff, despite Musk's desperate gaming of the system, do they? Guff like this feels like some kind of last gasp, before the churn of what I'll laughing call the "culture" sends Carlson through the u-bend to his inescapable destiny next to Glenn Beck and all the rest of the tired and wrung-out ghouls. None of the "stars" are bigger than the structure in this world of right-wing media demegoguery, and even that structure seems to be degrading in the face of Newsmax et al, who are, in their moment of cannibalising the mothership, making the whole thing more atomised and cliquey, which is surely not their point.

MUST SEE TV

Far-right pundit and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed on Tuesday he was in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin, and said he will air his conversation with Russia’s president to counter what he described as pro-Ukraine “fawning pep sessions” by western media covering the war.

Speculation had been growing for days that Carlson, who was dumped by Fox last year for “getting too big for his boots”, had traveled to the Russian capital to meet Putin, whose reasons for invading Ukraine he says have a right to be heard by the American public.

But his visit, which reportedly has included visits to the Bolshoi ballet and dining in fine restaurants, has drawn accusations he is acting as a propaganda tool for Putin, whom he has frequently defended. Russian media, meanwhile, has hailed Carlson as a celebrity “who speaks the truth”.

Bolshoi & Beluga, dude knows how to party

The hustle never stops.

I like picturing him unable to sleep in a Moscow hotel suite, sweeping the room for hidden mics and cameras.

Greenwald must have hooked him up

in Russia, Czar interviews you

Oh they definitely hooked him up with hookers and blow as well as ballet tickets

Also does Putin know this guy does his show on Twitter, lol

I think it’s reasonably clear from whenever he talks about the US that Putin has been a fan of Carlson for a while.

regardless my own opinions of hookers and blow-- or ballet-- those preferences are his most defensible ones tbh

Seems like a risky life choice

Don’t stand near any open windows above tree first or second floor, Tuck

oh how the mighty have tread water

Who would even report on his death? Some dude in Oakley's streaming from the front seat of his truck?

I'm not sure Tucker quite got what he came for, Putin bringing a different presentation than the one ordered

idk does Carlson care at all what Putin says? was there a point besides the optic?

I think to an extent, even if its just to bolster and solidify the optic. Obviously its still a win in so much that he did the interview, but as to whether it delivered what might have been hoped for, I think it was a miss

It also wasn't really all that clear what Putin wanted (or got) out of this interview either, kind of a flop all round

Both of them got attention!

In its repackaging, the New York Times has done a much better job for both Putin and Tucker than either of them were able to manage for themselves

i listened to this. it was stupid. putin's arguments about russia's historic right to control ukraine based on events in the 1300s are not going to convince anyone it was fine for him to start a destructive war there.

hundreds of thousands of deaths. tucker looked like an asshole. *tucker's* point -- that the US funding of ukraine is making the war more deadly than it should be -- is not what putin was talking about.

if that even is tucker's point, i couldn't really tell. he is against funding the war.

Putin's a crackpot.

Tucker is only against funding the war because it's "not in America's interests." Otherwise he loves him some war.

In a strange turn of events right wing people, like Tucker, are now the anti war faction. Russia supports things that benefit Russia and sometimes that maps oddly to American politics. Russia is relatively pro-Palestine, for example. Politics and bedfellows.

“Anti war” only because they want Ukraine to lose to Russia

I am not going to speak to the motivations of Tucker and his ilk, but every anti-war movement gets labeled as "traitors"

Does Tucker dislike all wars, or just this particular one

In 2004 he came out against the Iraq War (after initially supporting it.) He's anti-interventionist on the whole. He criticized Trump for his Iran missile strikes for instance. I'm not like a Tucker Carlson fan or anything. But as someone who gained political consciousness during the Bush Jr years I ve taken notice when conservatives take anti US imperialism stances.

This is just insanely creepy

Tucker Carlson’s vision of a Trump presidency is that “dad comes home” and says to America,
“You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking, right now. … It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.”pic.twitter.com/fh25KmyYmG

just workshopping some metaphors to get the populace to swallow the overt fascism

Oh, interesting. I had seen a shorter edit of this "things I would do to my teenaged daughter" speech but it didn't include the metaphoric framing of a wayward America, presumably one where women have too much freedom.

Either way it's so disgusting and vile. Rebellious women have to have their thoughts and feelings beaten out of them, super hot take from...let's see here...at least 27 BCE. Women are hormonal, they need to be "mastered," it's your right to do things to them because when women express anger you should be insulted and threatened, just like all women are insulting you by wanting some rights.

soon they will want the vote

this is the worst thing i've ever seen

he gave this speech very close to where i grew up. nightmarish.

fucking so creepy... the way his voice cackles with cruel delight

there's a good reason he's no longer on cable TV

I can’t stop singing “I got mauled by a demon, whoa oh oh” in a Danzig voice.

had not anticipated tucker, who was once a bow-tie guy, going all-in on demonic possession

a question about everything and everyone in america that haunts me: how much money do you *need*?

The amount that will fill the hole in you that opened when your mom walked out on you.

Ah yes

Tucker Carlson warns Elon Musk "will be destroyed" if Kamala Harris wins
https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-elon-musk-kamala-harris-1979949

Sounds like a win/win to me.

this might honestly be the first time I want Tucker Carlson to be right on something

I would still be very shocked if any billionaire faces any sort of justice in the US

hope he Dig Dug explodes the minute the race is called

Sounds like he's going down a more Glen Beck/televangelist path

So Tucker, when I found that Nick Land was influenced by this guy, Kenneth Grant, this famous black magician, I was, wait a second. That’s when I knew I had more than a show. I’m like, wait, the goth legends Bauhaus, Coil, Nurse With Wound again? We got to take a break. No one, I don’t think, will ever bring up Nurse with Wound again on your show.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. I, of course, have literally no idea what you’re talking about.

omg what

uhh I was looking at the thumbnail thinking that guy looks familiar and wtf

temptation to click for more detail but no way am i fucking my youtube algorithm just for that

Here's a transcript:

https://singjupost.com/transcript-conrad-flynns-interview-on-the-tucker-carlson-show/

CONRAD FLYNN: Jesus on the cross is a tree. You’ve also got trees in the Book of Revelation. That’s something, if anyone finds a lot of what we’re talking about, interesting, it’s important to remember that the book of Revelation, it’s been said by biblical teachers like Arthur Pink and others, the book of Revelation is mostly just the previous 65 books of the Bible almost re-edited it.

Even the plagues that take over in Revelation are just the plagues that ancient Israel found under Pharaoh. And like in Exodus, the Jewish people are under tremendous stress and turmoil this time from the entire world in the Book of Revelation. But, the more you know about the previous 65, that’ll help you with the 66th.

So the Bible’s, it’s about a lot about trees. And so one of Nick Land’s favorite things that the CCRU his academic collective that they ended up coming through. They say it was a channeling, or it came to them when they were staying at Aleister Crowley’s house in England in 1998. They came up with something called the pneumogram. And people listening to this won’t be able to see it, but I want you to hold that up. That is his system. That is, if you’re familiar with the Kabbalah tree of Life. Are you familiar with that? The symbol of that?

TUCKER CARLSON: No.

CONRAD FLYNN: I probably should have printed that out, too.

TUCKER CARLSON: I wore a red rubber band from a newspaper on my wrist for most of my life, given to me by my father just as a, because he worked at a newspaper. And I’ve been accused many times of being in the Kabbalah. I don’t know how to pronounce it. I’m an Episcopalian to research.

CONRAD FLYNN: Sure, sure.

TUCKER CARLSON: I don’t know shit about Kabbalah. So, no, I don’t know what the Kabbalah tree is about.

if anyone hasn’t caught it yet, that’s a former ilxor (lol)

Is Conrad Flynn Roger Adultery’s real name?

I’m blanking on what his dn was at the moment but I’m sure someone will chime in. He’s kind of a random figure on other social media

RA was the dude from a noise-adjacent band with libertarian tendencies iirc

^^ yes, conrad is/was just conrad

he was Cunga

amazing

ILX curdled his brains.

when I used to do ilm searches I got so sick of seeing his posts and posting style, lol no shock it turns out he's a seasoned crank

I recognize the name of course but I can't remember anything about his posts and posting style.

from memory (as unreliable as that is) a sneery machismo dickhead style that would accumulate some serious FPs these days

Much better guy in person, I might add.

Interesting that he is talking about the ccru and obscure industrial albums. Not just an ilxor on tucker — a true ilx/tucker crossover.

I used to sort of know someone who wound up being interviewed on this guy’s show years later, a self proclaimed witch who said she was going to put a hex on Trump or something.

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Tucker but "Yeah. I, of course, have literally no idea what you’re talking about." is also a very ilx response.

xpost

I'm kind of amazed at how bugnuts Carlson has become. He's a David Icke-level crazy person at this point based on his statements about his own beliefs, and how far he's willing to follow Flynn down the tunnel here.

That kind of content is where the money is in podcasting.

Worlds collide! It’s funny when Tucker’s all deadpan “I’m sorry, but trying to summon demons, that’s instantly disqualifying in my book.”

Remember when don jr was banned for spamming the board promoting his dj sets?

this isn't how I remember Cunga at all. unless you're talking about roger adultery?

He was really active in the True Detective thread, which makes sense

roger adultery xp

lol I was gonna say

That kind of content is where the money is in podcasting.

the joe rogan blueprint

from conrad's obit of his one-time best friend kaleb horton:

"So, yes, we riffed on everything, including our inevitable falling out (which did happen), and how we would (also inevitably, we thought) rekindle our friendship years later like the two main characters from True Detective at the end of the first season— meeting again 20 years later. I would be the Rust Cohle/McConaughey blond wacko who had gone even further down conspiracy rabbit holes, and he’d be the divorced but affable Woody Harrelson detective who was just glad to still be alive."

i assumed the carlson appearance was a prank, though i haven't read the whole transcript.

lol funny to see both him and j0n surface in The Media the same week in drastically different political contexts.
