Dutch is a globalist shill invited to Davos, whose most recent book calls for global open borders (read: infinity peasant labour class the plutocrats he claims to despise can exploit). Who do you think funds the Dutchman? Same rich he claims to hammer against.

Tucker is a country club conservative fratboy who sends his kids to fancy boarding schools so they only play with top 0.10%ers. His populism schtick was a life preserver for his career.

Globalist shill? Ugh. I hate the buzzwords the low brow maga crew parrot.

The only people who don't realize FOX News is essentially performance art are regular FOX news viewers.

Ice core data!

Look how low we’ve gone.

Notably, in the last two steps Carlson was funded by rightwing billionaires.
Carlson took the Koches’ dirty money at the Daily Caller, and Murdoch’s dirty money at Fox.

The problem is the rightwing billionaires. If Carlson left Fox tomorrow, Murdoch would just fill his spot with another liar spouting scary BS about immigrants to distract the GOP base from the rightwing billionaires screwing them.

LOL.
Too true!

It's like that joke about the three guys sitting in a waiting room, a billionaire, a poor white guy, and a poor brown-skinned guy... Receptionist brings out a dozen donuts, and the billionaire quickly sneaks over and takes 11 of them for himself, then comes back and whispers in the poor white guy's ear while pointing a thumb at the one remaining donut "hey, you better keep an eye on that brown guy over there, he's trying to steal your donut."

It's a very sad and very true commentary on what's going on in this country lately.

Nice joke PP

Dutch guy told him right to his face that he took dirty money at Cato and he takes dirty money at Fox. Carlson then proceeded to sputter, gasp, melt down and finally spew profanity in his frustration.

Complete takedown.

I wish that Dutch guy could run for US president.

I was just disappointed the Dutch guy didn’t mention the dirty Koch money he’s taking at the Daily Caller.

Fox would exist without any Murdoch subsidy (thought there would be much less propaganda.)
But the Daily Caller would go out of business tomorrow without billionaire donations.

I dont.

I don't agree with what the Dutch guy supports, but that was an awesome takedown on Carlson, and Carlson's response is typical of someone who can't defend himself so he resorts cursing at you.

But the US needs to get big money out of politics - and equally important, out of media, and out of society. We can't have a functioning democracy at the same time we have the Koch network and the Waltons and Mercers and Wilkses and Anschutz and Singer buying and running media outlets, and thinktanks like Cato and AEI, and entire university departments like GMU Econ. It cannot be the case that the basis of our public debate is founded on propaganda funded by billionaires.

And one important way to make headway on reducing money in politics is a wealth tax. We need many other reforms, but that is a good start, and that's what the Dutch economist is advocating.

I agree that money in politics is the problem.

We need to get rid of Citizens United and the undue influence of money on our "representatives". We need campaign finance reform.

It's pretty obvious these segments are heavily scripted or at least intended to be so the guest takes an opposing position to Carlson and they can have a good argument about it. I'm sure the reason Carlson was angry was because Dutch shill boy went off script (after they had thoroughly prepped how the segment was going to go).

In other words Dutch shill boy tried to pull a fast one. You don't abuse someone else's media platform and still expect to get that valuable exposure in that manner. So Dutch shill boy, back you go in your box of Euro obscurity.

No, it's typical of someone who's pissed off that the other person deliberately went "off script" from whatever had been the planned discussion for the segment, which Carlson and his producers had prepared with the Dutch guy.

If you're a performer in a play and doing a scene with someone else who deliberately goes off-script and starts messing up the lines, with the specific purpose of making you look like a fool, then no you're not going to like that.

No one who gets on these shows is permitted to say whatever they feel like nor are they permitted to sandbag the host. Every word might not have been pre-scripted but guaranteed there was a lot of preparation with this guy by one of Carlson's producers about how the segment was supposed to go.

If you are a guest at someone else's home and start throwing monkey feces then you won't be welcome very much longer.

If you think money is bad, then you are free to divest yourself of it, but you are not free (at least, not in a free society) to divest other people of their money, simply because you disagree with their use of it.
