Tucker Carlson: How early rejection by hippie San Francisco mom made him shameless

Meh so many toxic conservatives are motivated by mommy or daddy issues. Look at Trump and his abusive father. Or PP and his (possibly indigenous) birthmother who gave him up at birth. And the ones that don’t have longstanding issues over parental rejection often have issues over being rejected by the opposite sex. 

Butthurtedness and a shoe-size IQ are the only mandatory entrance requirements for the Dembs.

If you don't have a good victim-backstory you're considered a racist and a misogynist by that shitty little cult.

Meh...Tucker may well be an a55hole. And so what? 

These Libbies are simply lashing out in frustration and anger at having been rejected by the voting public so resoundingly. 

Let 'em whine...and enjoy the sweet grapes of success. 

Thanks for admitting being a horrible person (a$$hole) means nothing to you. That explains a LOT about YOU.

Esp your continued defenses of FRAUDS and CRIMES.

Question: Did you or did you not support the open border policy of the Brandon administration?

There was NO "OPEN BORDER POLICY." Stop LYING.

There was the compliance with the law that requires an opportunity to APPLY FOR ASYLUM.

Just cause YOU OPPOSE that law, does NOT make the BORDER OPEN. Duh

Are you really blaming his contempt for liberals on his feelings towards his mother?

You know the Dems are still pretending Biden is the president, right? Is that some kind of joke to you? 

You know that they pretended Kamala was a great choice for president, right?

You know that they advocated for children to be jabbed, and that they forced young healthy people to take a dangerous jab that doesn't prevent the spread of covid, right?

Buddy, anyone who doesn't have contempt for leftists now is a worthless loser. 

Anyone who pretends the candidate that got within 2% of the winner's votes with only 3 months to campaign, was not a great choice, is DELUSIONAL.

You don't like Carlson because he's conservative.

And you didn't like Kamala Harris because she's black.🙄

So, basically, Tucker was a resilient child who overcame heartbreak at an early age and went on to become one of the most successful journalists of his generation. Meanwhile, his liberal mother was an irresponsible drug addict who abandoned him at 6. Sounds about right.

Not a journalist. Not in any way, shape or form.

No, that's why you wanted us to like her. And that she was a woman.

Democrats insisted that because she has dark skin in a vagina she should be president. So you assume that if anybody else voted against her it was a rejection of that specifically. Not really - there were a lot of other reasons to not like her. You just couldn't think of any other reasons that you should like her so you assume that that's what the issue was but it wasn't for most Americans

Opinion Journalism is a type of journalism. He also does interviews like the awesome one he did with Putin.

OMG, I hadn't gotten to this reply yet. 

If you think his Putin propaganda puff piece was "awesome" then I totally understand why you mistook him for a journalist.

How telling of you. I didn't like Kamala's policies because she wanted to tax unrealized capital gains, should would have continued the open border policies, she wanted to raise taxes, she showed no sign of cutting the budget, she was weak on international politics and so much more. Oh, and she's a big ole lib.

But you immediately went to race. Are you projecting? Do you hate Tucker because he's a white male?

I suppose it's easy to be confused about this. Most mainstream journalists these days lack honesty and integrity, while Tucker is overflowing with both. So, in that sense, he doesn't seem like a journalist. But he is one nonetheless. Quite possibly the greatest of all time.

[impartialobserver]

A true journalist does not have evident bias. Carlson is nothing but bias. Again, he caters to a certain audience and I can't blame the guy for milking it for all its worth.

I definitely blame him. He makes his fortune misleading stupid people. There are literally hundreds of idlots on prison because they listened to the lies he willfully and deliberately told to them. He even felt guilty about it--but not enough to stop doing it for the money.

Morally and ethically it's no different than the Nigerian Prince scam. Both make money by exploiting gullible people, there's just no law against lying on TV for money.

But as MSNBC and CNN have shown you do lose ratings for lying on TV.

There’s one theory, put forward by a report this week in the San Francisco Standard, that Carlson’s on-air antagonism towards West Coast liberal elites stems comes from his desire to reject the values of the outwardly free-spirited Bay Area woman who gave birth to him.

I don't think this theory holds any water. I mean, his mom left him and she was sort of a bohemian so therefore he is jaded about West Coast liberals? It's a lot of speculation based on nothing.

Also, I have heard Tucker Carlson speak fondly of west coast hippie-type liberal he remembers in his youth. Not to mention he was a dead head. Here he is with Jerry.

You can be critical of things without hating them. It might be hard for people on the left to understand as they are so consumed with hatred. You could learn a lot about love and humanity from Tucker. Perhaps, someday you will.

That is inaccurate. A reporter does not have evident bias. But a journalist, being someone who prepares his journal, does tend towards adding their personal viewpoints and opinions. A journalist will frequently editorialize, where is a reporter never would.

And to be honest he'd be more accurately referred to as an editorialist.  While journalists do editorialize  that's All Carlson does.  He offers a strong opinion about whatever topic he's discussing, and while he may offer facts or events or the like his intent is to share an opinion and present a specific viewpoint. 

He's also a bit 'infotainment' and we see a lot of that these days. Part editorial part comedy or 'showmanship'.  John oliver tries to walk that line with a bit of a focus on the comedy but he's trying to also offer a serious opinion about actual issues, even tho he's frequently wrong

I have no attachment to Maddow whatsoever. 

That first op-ed link was, at a minimum, premature because we've seen in the reports that have followed Mueller's remarkably restrained report, the Trump campaign collusion with Russia was very real. Whether the reality lived up to Maddow's expectations I can't say.

 

Indeed, that second report is very bad. I have no knowledge or awareness of that story, but clearly not journalism. As bad as it is, feels like a drop in the bucket next to Carlson and Co.
