Tucker Carlson: Last News

Gigi Sohn, Joe Biden’s choice to fill a fifth slot on the FCC, told a Senate committee on Wednesday that she has been subject to “unrelenting, unfair, and outright false criticism and scrutiny,” as she’s been a target of attacks from the right and industry lobbyists raise issues that have delayed her confirmation process.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been written off as “deadbeats” and “grifters" by US talk show hosts following speculation they may exit their deal with Spotify amid recent controversy surrounding the streaming platform. Spotify has received wide bashing from users and celebrities for its association with podcaster Joe Rogan, who has been accused of spreading anti-vaccine propaganda on his show, exclusively produced for the content-sharing service. As Harry and Meghan ­­– who are major supporters of vaccinations – are also tied to the platform through a $25 million podcasting deal, it’s been thought that the couple might now turn their backs on Spotify following many others.

The Republican National Committee passed a resolution on Friday censuring two party members, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for participating in the January 6th Committee, the congressional effort to investigate the attack on the Capitol in 2021.

It’s a bit unusual when any FCC nomination becomes controversial — and even a bit strange when Tucker Carlson seizes on it.

Fox News is the most-watch cable “news” channel in America, and Tucker Carlson hosts the network’s most-watched show. Those are facts, and disturbing ones for the majority of Americans who do not watch the far right-wing extremist channel or its top personality.Take, for instance, Carlson’s attack on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Thursday night, a 12-minute long homophobic, hate-filled rant with a focus on attacking the very core of Democratic and progressive ideals: the belief that everyone is equal and everyone deserves a chance at the American dream, and government is a means to help achieve those goals, goals literally written in the Declaration of Independence.“Tucker Carlson brutally mocked Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as an unqualified ‘kid’ who ‘breastfeeds, and has no business running the agency,” Mediaite reports.Not the first time Carlson has attacked Buttigieg – and by extension, every LGBTQ person – for having children, being a responsible and loving parent who took time off from work, time off that is granted under federal law, to care for his newborn twins with his husband.To Carlson, Buttigieg was chosen by the President of the United States only because he is gay, as part of some Democratic master plan to diminish or eradicate straight white men.“Today the Transportation Department which is now run by Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, finally told us,” Carlson told his right-wing viewers, “effective immediately we learned this country will undergo a quote, paradigm shift in the way we think about infrastructure.

Stephen Hayes, the conservative political commentator and CEO of The Dispatch, is joining NBC News as contributor and political analyst.

Jesse Watters has been named the permanent host of Fox News’ 7 PM ET hour, filling the slot that has gone to a series of rotating opinion hosts since last year.

All of the news networks carried events marking the anniversary of January 6th, albeit with differences in tone and tenor, but by the time of the opinion-heavy primetime hours, there were wildly different characterizations of the significance of attack on the Capitol.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show With Trevor Noah is paying tribute, in its own inimitable fashion, to the “patriots” of Jan. 6, 2021 – including Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Ted Cruz – with a pop-up, one-day-only installation of eight “monuments” in Manhattan.

The year 2021 was one of tumult in the news biz: Chris Cuomo fired, Brian Williams’ surprise exit, Chris Wallace bolting for a rival. And that is not even getting to the daily headlines about Tucker Carlson’s vaccine doubts and distortions, the “great replacement” theory or January 6th false flags.

J. Kim Murphy administratorJimmy Kimmel offered an impassioned defense of Dr. Anthony Fauci during his opening monologue on Tuesday evening’s episode of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”“If you’ve been watching Fox News, you know that the real enemy isn’t the virus or the do-my-own-research geniuses who refuse to get the vaccine.

Seth MacFarlane is really wishing his hit animated show, Family Guy, was on another network.
