"It is honestly shocking how much Fox News' rhetoric about immigrants mirrors Nazi propaganda"

If you watched the show, you would know that he was talking about all the trash and garbage left in the desert by undocumented immigrants. And, we are not talking about legal immigration--no one is trying to stop that--it is the illegal immigration that needs to stop.

It's useless trying to have a rational discussion with people who constantly twist words around to suit their own narratives.

Let's be straight:

The conservatives here are talking about Fox and Tucker Carlson.

Fox and Tucker Carlson are liars. Fox is a propaganda network designed to advance the goals of Rupert Murdoch -- that is, screw the American worker and help billionaires.

Tucker Carlson uses white supremacist talking points regularly because hate and lies help Murdoch.

Keeping that in mind, it's clear the above quote is pure projection. Accusing others of what the right is guilty of.

The right can't understand that the center and left actually care about facts; actually want to have good-faith discussions; actually care about learning and what is true.

To the right, all that matters in their "news" and media is the pursuit of power. They don't care about the truth.

Meanwhile, all the conservative apparatchiks in DC working for places like Heritage and AEI are getting screwed by Murdoch as he cuts his own taxes and sticks them with the bill. (They don't realize as they get older they will actually start to care about healthcare working well, and about retirement, and about the country remaining a stable place to work and earn). And in many cases the conservatives don't even realize who's getting screwed.

And now after all this, Carlson is engaging in blatant pay-for-play. If anyone ever thought he was anything but a propagandist, this should correct that view. He's not a journalist and Fox is not news. Every GOP member of Congress that has this dreck on in their office should be embarrassed.


While other companies abandon Tucker Carlson's show, major Fox advertiser My Pillow has stepped up with two-minute ad spots. Last night, Carlson rewarded its CEO with a shamelessly obsequious interview, praising his product and letting him shill for his anti-abortion film.

I don’t get it. Never seen this and have lived in four other countries, none of which have this.


Here's an idea DP.

Go to your local library.

Go to the "history" section.

Then, go to the "American History" section.

Find yourself a basic textbook on American History. Let's say at the sixth grade level. Read the first two chapters on how our country was founded.

Then, skip to the chapter on our pre-industrial revolution. Read that.

Then go to the index and look for "Staten Island." Go to those pages. Read them.

Return to this forum once you've completed all of these steps.


Nah. People today hate reading those musty things called books and going to that sarcophagus called a library. Must be digital. Must not exert effort or take time. How ling until DJT bans and closes libraries??

At least Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson has been feeling backlash from his hatemongering / Nazi-modeled propaganda.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlsons-show-sheds-advertisers-after-immigration-comments-report

Tucker Carlson’s nightly show on Fox News has been hemorrhaging advertisers since the conservative host said that immigration makes the United States "poorer and dirtier and more divided” on Dec. 13, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Whereas Tucker Carlson Tonight routinely had some 40 corporate ads prior to his comment, the average has since been some 28 nightly -- plummeting to a low of 21 Wednesday evening. Tucker Carlson Tonight has also gone from five ad breaks to four “and has leaned far more heavily on so-called house ads that promote Fox News programming and Fox Broadcasting Company scripted television shows,” The Hollywood Reporter notes. “Carlson's show now regularly includes as many as seven such ‘house’ ads, which help fill lost spots, along with public service announcements,” the outlet also said.

I'm grateful to those advertisers for supporting decency. I start to try to post rebuttals to the xenophobia here, but then I get tired and cancel most of the posts. But I'm really grateful to the immigrants around me. I wish I were more effective at speaking up for them.

Dems from red states are starting to get it:

Fox and Limbaugh control the GOP base with lies.

Ohio Dem: US is being governed "from Rush Limbaugh’s studio"

https://twitter.com/TPM/status/1080477844365553664
“Let’s just put this all in perspective, the main problem here is he’s worried about the investigation that’s breathing down his neck right now, so his only goal is to appeal to Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh,” Ryan said. “We saw the flip-flop a week or two ago when they didn’t like the deal he was going to make and he changed immediately. He feels like he has to protect that base because he fears what’s coming down the pike in the investigation. As long as that’s the case you have the tail wagging the dog and we are going to get government from Rush Limbaugh’s studio in South Florida.”

Lest we need a reminder that Fox News is all about brainwashing uneducated white men:
Now Tucker Carlson has moved on from immigrant identity politics to female identity politics.

Last night Tucker Carlson blamed high-earning women for problems men face.

Tonight he doubled-down & went a step further calling modern society the "dark ages" and crediting women with killing science, art & comedy.

"They're drunk on power and looking for new people to hurt."

this is the reason Republicans voters vote against their economic interests: they're brainwashed by Fox.

AOC speaks the truth and calls out Fox's bigotry. Good for her.


https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1083368132352372736

Let’s learn about this, shall we?

Many have recognized that @FoxNews has crossed a line beyond conservatism and into outright bigotry with their financing of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. Tucker finances the @DailyCaller, which posted fake nudes of me.

Here’s a breakdown??

If you haven't watched this Vox video (from 2017) it's worth watching - summarizes Fox's white supremacy, so you don't have to watch Fox.

And we should all remember: Fox uses white supremacist talking points, because Fox's propaganda mission is: get white Americans to think brown people are fleecing them, so the white people won't notice the GOP billionaires fleecing them.
It's all about displacing populist anger.

AOC got one thing wrong (she's right about Fox, though): it's the Koches that fund the Daily Caller.
