It goes without saying that there are a lot of repulsive cretins on Fox News. But even in that maggot infested bog there is no one who competes with Tucker Carlson<\/a><\/strong> as the undisputed King of Sleaze. His facility for falsehoods and pious prattle is unmatched by mere mortals.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

On the Tuesday night episode<\/a><\/strong> of Carlson’s White Power Hour<\/em> he sought to malign the free press that he regards as “the enemy of the people,”<\/em> just like his crush Donald Trump does. Carlson bellowed maniacally that “the people who run [America’s institutions] are rotten.”<\/em> Not just some of them, but “all of which are corrupt.”<\/em> And he singles out one institution as “looming above the rest [as] our most corrupt institution: The mainstream news media.”<\/em> He elaborates that…<\/p>\n

“The media are more crooked than Jimmy Hoffa ever was. They’re more dishonest than your average bribe-taking building inspector in Queens and more treacherous than the Mafia. They make cops in Tijuana look trustworthy. You’ll get fairer treatment from an inner-city DMV than you would from CNN.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s set aside for the moment Carlson’s asinine analogies comparing the media to murderous organized crime figures. More repugnant is how his sanctimonious verbal assaults rely entirely on offensive stereotypes and racist dog whistles? It’s integral to his hallmark brand of hate speech.<\/p>\n

However, Carlson’s sour soliloquy does hit some sweet spots, albeit inadvertently. In a moment of unintended self-reflection, Carlson articulates the best description of himself saying that “Dumb and conventional now pass as impressive.”<\/em> He continues seemingly still determined to define himself and his Fox News confederates:<\/p>\n

“Yes, the news media are profoundly dishonest. All of us lie from time to time, that’s the human condition. Imagine, though, if lying was your job. Imagine forcing yourself to tell lies all day about every subject in ways that were so transparent and so outlandish that there is no way the people listening to you could possibly believe anything you said. Then imagine doing that again and again and again every day of your professional life for your entire life. Could you do that? […] you’ve got to respect those skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You don’t need to imagine any of this. Just watch five minutes of any Tucker Carlson program if you have the stomach for it. And remember that Fox News lawyers actually argued successfully in court that Carlson cannot not be held liable for the lies he tells<\/a><\/strong> because he “cannot be understood to have been stating facts,”<\/em> and that “given Mr. Carlson\u2019s reputation, any reasonable viewer \u2018arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism\u2019 about the statements he makes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In other words, no reasonable viewer would believe Carlson’s BS. That’s according to the Fox News lawyers speaking on Carlson’s behalf. The problem is that Carlson doesn’t have any reasonable viewers. So the cult disciples he’s disinforming on a nightly basis will blindly buy into whatever he says. And among the nauseating absurdities he unleashed in the same episode was this sarcastic grotesquery:<\/p>\n

“The Bidens affection is totally real and in no way part of a slick PR campaign devised by cynical consultants determined to hide the president’s senility by misdirection. Their love is as real as climate change.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tucker Carlson's newest bizarre take is that Jill and Joe Bidens' 44-year marriage is actually a PR sham cooked up by political consultants pic.twitter.com\/3MYtCjKqUs<\/a><\/p>\n
