<\/p>\nSTOP THE MADNESS! Fox News is demonstrating both their full blown devotion to the Cult of Trump and their impotence with regard to managing the worst purveyors of flagrantly dishonest propaganda and conspiracy crackpottery that populate their network. And both of those obscene circumstances come in the form of perpetually ticked off and furrow-browed Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Monday night Carlson delivered another<\/a><\/strong> of hallmark harangues. The subject of this one was an atrocity that exists only in his diseased brain. Stepping off the ledge even further into dementia territory, Carlson is now alleging that Democrats are plotting to censor your text messages and other private communications. The very first paragraph was a study in professional bullshittery:<\/p>\n “Last March, as the first big clusters of coronavirus cases started to appear in this country, media executives in Silicon Valley coordinated with officials in Washington to determine how much the public was allowed to know about the growing epidemic that was killing them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So Carlson is alleging as fact that there was a convocation of media and techies to coordinate a blueprint for abridging freedom of speech. As usual, he doesn’t bother to present any proof of this gathering, but that’s only because there isn’t any. He went on to say that…<\/p>\n “Today we learned the Biden administration considers censorship is applicable to private speech as well. What you say in private, when you\u2019re alone with your phone, you won\u2019t be able to say or read what you want because the DNC plans to control \u2013 and apparently have the ability to control \u2013 the flow the information you receive on your phone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n OMG! According to Carlson the Democratic National Committee can – and is – monitoring your text messages and is intent on censoring what you read and write. That would be horrifying, but for the fact that it’s a claim that isn’t remotely associated with reality. Carlson based the whole thing on an excerpt from an article in Politico<\/a><\/strong> that said…<\/p>\n “Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively, and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Notice that there is nothing in that sentence that asserts any attempt to monitor or censor anything at all. The article was referring to Democratic organizations having ready responses to the potentially deadly lies being peddled by Republican operatives via mass SMS messaging. Liars like Carlson are understandably frightened by fact-checkers and initiatives aimed at disseminating the truth. Politico notes – and Carlson failed to acknowledge – that the goal is to counter right-wing misinformation. For example…<\/p>\n “Turning Point USA has also sent out SMS messages urging people to sign petitions on the topic [of vaccinations]<\/em>. In one message, viewed by POLITICO, [TUSA Chief Charlie]<\/em> Kirk contends, ‘Biden is sending goons DOOR-TO-DOOR to make you take a Covid-19 vaccine.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That, of course, is a blatant and dangerous lie. It’s fear mongering that has been all over Fox News for the past couple of weeks<\/a><\/strong>. And speaking of misinformation, Carlson is engaging in a new rebranding of “alternative facts”<\/em> wherein he proclaims that “misinformation very often is factually true.”<\/em> However, anyone with a smidgen of cognitive coherence knows that, by definition, misinformation is literally false. Unfortunately, that standard of cognition would exclude Carlson, who has his own definition of misinformation, and he exploits it to spread more irrational fear about life-saving vaccines:<\/p>\n “Misinformation is anything the Biden administration doesn\u2019t want you to know \u2013 including, for example, how effective the COVID vaccines actually are, and what the potential side effects from them might be from taking them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Carlson went on to reveal his ignorance of virology – or deliberate deception – by asserting that vaccinated people have no reason to worry about unvaccinated people. “So why is official Washington so angry,”<\/em> Carlson asks, “at the people who won\u2019t get vaccinated? How precisely do they propose a threat? It makes you think that maybe none of this is really about COVID. Maybe it\u2019s about social control.”<\/em> No, Tucker, it makes you think that the more available hosts there are, the more the virus can mutant into variants that could put everyone, including vaccinated people, at risk.<\/p>\n Carlson is coming full circle and exposing his true agenda. It is all about “social control,”<\/em> and his ludicrous claim that “Your private conversations will be controlled by the DNC.”<\/em> Which he still has failed to affirm with any shred of evidence. But then, nobody expects Carlson to deal in facts, not even his Fox News<\/a><\/strong> or their lawyers who defended him court by arguing that no reasonable person would believe anything he says<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
