So you must watch Tucker nightly I'm guessing? I don't so I can only go by what is posted here and elsewhere as clips. if he ranted nightly about how the election was stolen in 2020 an example is certainly readily available.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 1 minute ago, redtail hawk said: the effectiveness of his false narratives are the issue, to me. A majority of people in what is now called the republican party believe that the election was stolen. How many know of this court case where he admitted lying. B man clearly was unaware. I don't like lying to influence public opinion in any scenario. The effectiveness of (sometimes) false narratives are why he’s paid so well to do what he does. There is precious little purely truthful reporting in the world, and it’s up to each individual to weed through it. It’s the way it always has been. As for stolen elections, it helps to be pragmatic. There are other threads for the deep dive into American politics, but after decades of allegations of voter suppression, racism when the subject of voter ID is raised, appeals to the SC over hanging/dimpled chads, allegations of war for oil that suddenly disappear after an election, and literal false claims about Trump being elected illegitimately/elected in a coup/treason afoot, it really seems odd to focus on a TV talk show host that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not watch. As I’ve said before, there’s likely no “Stop the Steal” appealing to emotional R voters if “Russia” wasn’t so gosh darn effective at appealing to emotional D voters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"some are more equal than others". You are lumping all journalists in Carlson's camp. This is disingenuous and untrue. There are some on the other side using similar tactics. but even they use kernels of facts to advance their narratives. read the linked NPR piece about the court case. Fox recently cut their research personnel by 75%. He (and they) don't even pretend he's telling the truth. He explicitly denies it. It's who he is and he admits it but only in a courtroom. on the spectrum, he's the extreme. but glad to see you've admitted that he's paid so well because he's such a good little propagandist.

And some players are very, very effective. defending them promotes the goal. btw, can you explain why the rubes listen to an obvious "elite" like Carlson. If one is elite but says what u want to hear then they're ok? I can't speak for the motivations of others. Why people believe one thing or another or listen to some sources and not others. Could it be confirmation bias or something like that? I don't know and I'm not going to put any more thought into it. And I'm not talking anarchy, its just how boom and bust cycles end. My thinking is I'm just not going to allow the sociopaths and maniacs running our out of control political, economic, and social systems to do major damage to me personally, and the people I'm responsible for caring after, along with friends and acquaintances that will listen to my assessment of things. I'll offer up my views that social, political, and economic systems are going bust and if anybody wants to listen then great and if they don't then good luck to them. I might listen to the opinions of others but their thoughts don't form the basis of my actions or ideas. But when it comes to media, I will say its hard to get people to tell the truth when they're getting compensated to lie. I think that's all there is to it.
