The Evil Genius Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Maybe...just maybe...people like ****er shouldn't make these type of comments in public. Especially if their entire career is dependent on advertising and ratings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people like you, me, many others might know it's a garbage apology but it can help. But you might sway me to say he shouldn't apologize. I never thought of it as the "apology culture", it's a good way to look at it. While i'm a right leaning person, I am not a huge fan of Tucker. He doesn't do well/let people speak when they are on if he disagrees too much. I can't stand listening to that. While I may disagree with peoples stances, I love to articulate points, counterpoints, and discussion. It's ashame that doens't call for good tv, apparently. People might learn! I just can't fathom that these days, (get off my lawn!) a tweet is a valid form of an apology. I shouldn't be able to apologize for something with my iphone while taking a dump. You are right, he doesn't let people speak, hardly any of those "infotainment" characters do. They just shout down their guests. I'd never go on his show if I had an opposing viewpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm sorry, I know it's a shock jock radio show but I can't ignore this. It's a valid look into a man's belief system. This isn't an athlete tweeting something when he was in high school. As much as I'm agianst the Northam photo, this isn't that either. There is no element of immaturity here. Tucker was like 39yrs old when he made some of these comments. He's an adult man, a career pro legitimately expressing his beliefs. He should face backlash and have to deal with the repercussions from such awful views. I hope sponsors bail quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) ****er Carlson is confused. A hit piece is what Alex Jones did regarding the Clintons and pizzagate (amongst many fake stories). Making up innuendo and falsely promoting his tripe as fact. What media matters did was use actual ****er Carlson quotes. Verbatim. In context. Since when is that considered a hit piece?

These beliefs now carry the Presidential Seal of Approval when these people should be shamed straight out of society for their hateful and hurtful beliefs. There isnt middle ground.

Mr. Sinister Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 5 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I agree with point #3, the one unnerving thing about this is that there's a liberal group dedicated to doing stuff like this. I'm sure the conservatives have one, too. Can't have an NFL draft or an NBA draft these days without having an athlete having to apologize for a tweet from 8 years ago. Starting to disagree with your first point. Apologies are being dished out left and right these days, to a point where they're not genuine and meaningless. I believe people aren't sorry for 95% of the things they're being called to the mat on, they're sorry they got called out and are having to deal with being uncomfortable. Putting out an apology in a tweet that's 140 characters or however many characters they have now is worth absolutely nothing. I'm growing increasingly tired of a lot of things, the apology culture being one of them. **** that, don't apologize. It doesn't do anything these days. Would anyone here feel better about Tucker Carlson if he apologized? No. Would anyone believe it? No. The sad thing is, he won't lose sponsors, this will just rile up the base even more. This (and other instances) are never really about "Apologize! And mean it!" Once we truly stop demanding that people in power hold themselves to a certain standard, all we do is follow them down the stream of **** that they create 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If don't think one single person in the world has had this news affect their opinion of Carlson. Those that think he is a piece of ****, thought that before this story dropped. Those who support him won't even blink an eye at this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about someone voicing the beliefs they hold which are the reasons we hate them for is odd to me. If anything, it should solidify why we hate him, it's affirmative. It's like looking at that guy your ex is dating, you know he's just a douche and then he does something to prove you right. What's next, we dance around in a schadenfreude manner if/when the sponsors pull out and he loses his show? Isn't that what we want? I'd be happy if these comments ****ed him over. I don't think it'd happen, but I'd be totally cool with it if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never do, when this issue comes up from you and others. What exactly do you want to happen, specifically as it relates to people genuinely pissed and/or targeted by people who say or do screwed up stuff? How should the world react, according to spiff? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
