Every now and then the propaganda merchants at Fox News will, in a moment of weakness, reveal something genuine about themselves.

\"Fox<\/p>\n

Leading the Fox News file of phonies is their Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson. As the network’s top-rated primetime host, Carlson packs an impressive quantity of lies and disinformation into his nightly hour of hate mongering. He is a shameless provocateur and disseminator of flagrant falsehoods. But by his definition, truth is just a matter of opinion that requires no factual basis.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Carlson’s comments<\/a><\/strong> this week on the podcast of ultra-rightist shill, Charlie Kirk, were uncharacteristically candid . At one point in the conversation Carlson addressed how badly he had predicted the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections, for which he joined the Republican echo chamber in erroneously forecasting a massive red wave. He told Kirk that he “fell down in my duty as a talk show host. […] Wow, did I get it wrong.”<\/em><\/p>\n

At least Carlson admits that he was wrong. Donald Trump has been bragging about his imaginary victories<\/a><\/strong>. Carlson explained that he had come to realize that he’s he’s just not any good at political prognosticating. Which is quite an admission considering that it is a core part of his job as a TV pundit. However, he had an excuse…<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually hate this neoliberal movement, whatever it is, this antihuman movement that\u2019s sweeping the West right now. I think it’s a threat to everything I believe in. It’s a threat to my family, and I really feel hatred. And that loathing clouded my judgment.<\/p>\n

“I was like, I dislike these people so much, what they\u2019re doing is so wrong, it is helping so few people and hurting so many. It\u2019s so immoral on every level that I just want it to be repudiated. […] I did learn that, like, I have no freaking idea what goes on in American politics.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, thanks for sharing that, Tuckums. To begin with, it is useful to know that Fox’s top-rated host hates a majority of the American people. But even worse, he regards them as antihuman. At least he seems to recognize that his “loathing”<\/em> clouded whatever small measure of judgement he thinks he has.<\/p>\n

However, the most beneficial confession that Carlson is making is that he has “no freaking idea what goes on in American politics.”<\/em> Once again, that’s been apparent in his years of making wrong calls on television and radio. However, it does make one wonder how he could ever get a job as a political commentator given that admitted lack of insight. But then again, that’s pretty much what Fox News was created for.<\/p>\n

For the record, this isn’t the first time that Carlson has admitted that he doesn’t know anything about a subject that he regularly pontificates about. He previously mad a similar confession regarding Critical Race Theory<\/a><\/strong> saying that \u201cI\u2019ve never figured out what critical race theory is, to be totally honest, after a year of talking about it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Carlson was actually defended in a defamation lawsuit by his own Fox News lawyers who told the court that “no reasonable person”<\/em> would believe anything he said. And they won that case.<\/p>\n
