If and when she is caught in a deliberate lie, her employment should be over.MinotStateBeav said:What do you think the white house press secretary does? Should she lose her job too? lolcalbear93 said:So he was just a talking head that lies. What is his value? Just perpetuate a lie for money? Good riddance, I'm sure you would agree, unless you like being treated like a child who is just fed mind candy because you want candy even if it will destroy your brain.MinotStateBeav said:That's his job dude. What do you think all the other morons on cable tv do.calbear93 said:I don't doubt you truly believe it. I don't think there has been any credible evidence for mass fraud, but small instances of fraud, including from Republicans.MinotStateBeav said:I disagree with Tucker. I believe there was significant fraud in the last election. I also believe Dominion is shady af. You know who else believed that...democrats.calbear93 said:But his texts and his concurrent coverage of the election lies (even if not focused on Dominion) contradict. He was just a showman. And Shep Smith and Chris Wallace were basically driven away from Fox News for not bending the knee to Trump and his lies. I think you are a bit off here.MinotStateBeav said:People that like Trump or wanted him for president don't demand obedience from our news anchors. Tucker regularly had Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore, even recently Matt Taibbi on as guests, do you believe those are pro-Trumpers? lol. We pretty much just demanded an anti-war stance, or at least not cheering it on. I couldn't stand the other programs and anchors at Fox.calbear93 said:I personally think once his true feelings of hatred for Trump and his sycophants came out, which diverged greatly from the persona he portrayed on TV to cater to the MAGA crowd, his stay was not truly possible. That, together with his general disregard for the truth on TV (including truth that he even held on a personal level), as well as claims of a toxic work environment, created too much future liability paired with weakened credibility.dimitrig said:MinotStateBeav said:
Instantly gives Tucker more credibility. Not that I actually watched Fox, normally I just watch clips of Tucker on Bit//chute, but that's going to be a huge audience loss for Fox.
He got fired for lying and costing the company $750M and you say that makes him more credible?
Please describe your twisted logic.
It will be a hit for Fox News in the short run, but a gain in assets (i.e. reduced loss contingencies) in the long run.
But he was not the main or even a big target of the Dominion case and that certain Fox Business reporter who was the biggest spreader of lies is still there. And he didn't go down fighting for some high principle. Instead the text showed he was just a showman that was not true to his own principles.
Sure seems political doesn't it.
Having said that, going back to topic at hand, Tucker did not believe it based on his texts, but he still presented as if it were credible.
I think we can demand more from those who present themselves as presenter of what is happening out there in the world other than lies catering to our biases.
Maybe I am hoping for too much.
And I don't believe his official job description was to tell lies, so I disagree that was his job.
If you have evidence similar to the evidence for Tucker that she personally believed something to be false but still presented as the truth, share it. I will share your outrage. The only person whose personal beliefs betrayed the lie told was Trump's first press secretary about attendance. Even if I disagreed with all of Trump's other press secretaries, I believe they were telling what they believed to be the truth. Same with Biden's press secretaries.
Even if I disagree with how you are interpreting the facts, it does not mean I think you are lying. If, however, you are telling your true views one way to your colleagues and then telling the rest of the world the opposite as your belief, then you are lying.
An elementary picture response is a sign that you don't really have the data to back your claim.
calbear93, I give you MinotStateBeav.
