The left certainly has its issues, but who is the left-wing analog to Tucker? Or even Hannity? Maybe Maddow, but after that it gets thin. Admittedly I don't actually watch much CNN/MSNBC/FoxNews, but when I go down the list of left-wing bomb throwers it's hard to find someone who's nearly as disingenuous and willing to straight up lie as Tucker.

And that doesn't even get into the fact that Newsmax and OAN actually exist and have viewership. OAN is launching a freaking Spanish speaking channel FFS.

For me, the worst "mainstream" hosts are:

1. Tucker, way out in front
2. Hannity
3. Maddow
4. Lemon

Gets fuzzy after that. I just don't watch enough. But while I find Maddow and Lemon basically unwatchable, Tucker and Hannity are simply worse. 

I can readily acknowledge that both sides have their hacks and kooks. I just don't see, in this current environment, any sort of argument for equivalency. 

Edit: and this list doesn't get into Newsmax or OAN personalities like Eric Bolling, because I don't put them "in the mainstream". And AFAIK there is no left-wing analog to either of those networks. 

You forgot Laura Ingram. She would have taken the pill in the bunker.

Tucker Carlson is broadcasting from Hungary because its authoritarian, anti-immigrant leader has set a model for America's far right

 

• Fox News' Tucker Carlson is broadcasting from Hungary this week.

• Carlson is promoting the worldview of Hungary's authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán.

• America's far right sees Orbán as a more successful, effective version of Trump.

• See more stories on Insider's business page.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson is broadcasting from Budapest, Hungary, this week. For a lot of people, this might be perplexing. But for those who've closely followed the far right in recent years, it makes perfect sense.

Many American conservatives admire Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ authoritarian who's been in power for 11 years and who endorsed President Donald Trump's reelection campaign last year. They see Orbán as a more effective version of Trump - and a model for the future of right-wing politics in the US.

Carlson is effectively in Hungary to promote Orbán's nationalism and antidemocratic approach to governance, and authoritarianism experts are concerned - particularly over what this says about the direction of American conservatism. The Fox host's Hungarian excursion comes as Republicans continue to whitewash the pro-Trump Capitol insurrection and vie to restrict voting in several states, and as recent Morning Consult polling suggested that more than a quarter of Americans qualified as having right-wing authoritarian political beliefs.

Quote

Here's another idea: Why not make the people who benefited the most from the lockdown pay for the effects of those lockdowns? 

Why wouldn't you assess, say, Amazon and Apple and Goldman Sachs and Google and Netflix and Walmart, all the big winners in this pandemic? Why wouldn't you assess them a one-time COVID fee, take it out of their record profits and make them pay for the next bailout? Why are you paying for it? Jeff Bezos, for example, is now the richest man in the history of the world. Maybe he could share the load in a meaningful way. He's certainly not sharing with his employees.

While we're at it, why not make Harvard and Yale and Stanford and Princeton use their endowments to pay off some of the student debt they caused? There's no reason ordinary taxpayers should be on the hook for their spending.

Here's the bottom line: The rich are getting richer, everyone else is getting poorer. That's not a talking point. It's true and measurable. Why is it a problem? Because if it continues, we're going to wind up with an even more volatile society in which everybody hates each other and is consumed by envy. Along the way, capitalism itself will be discredited, and you don't want that.

You may have noticed there are an awful lot of socialists around these days. It's because the people in charge of our economy are discrediting our system. They are giving capitalism a bad name because what they're participating in is not a free, open market economy. It's a closed game, run for their benefit and their benefit alone. Long-term, this is a disaster for all of us and not even so far in the future.

Tucker Carlson: If you need proof the media lies, look at how they treat Hungary

We've read many times how repressive Hungary is, but that's wrong

Pesky things like freedom of the press are outdated concepts. Like Democracy.

Nah, I'm talking about the quote by Carlson that NOTW posted. Got any opinions on that one?

Not a fan of their government, but nice people. Nice country.

Honestly, it's a complex situation. The fact of the matter is that coronavirus restrictions allowed the mega-companies that can offer e-commerce to make an insane amount of money while normal small business owners had their livelihoods completely destroyed. The government essentially stacked the deck against small business owners and funneled an insane amount of money to the mega-corporations. My solution would have been to never place stringent restrictions on small businesses in the first place, and I don't know if a one-time covid tax is an answer, but what our government did to small business owners over the last year is unforgivable. So, Tucker's right in that saying "whelp free market, what can you do?" isn't always a viable solution.

Cool, man. Enjoy. 

First they came to suck off Trump, and I said, "Ew! That's disgusting."

Then they came to suck off Putin, and I said, "Ew! That's gross."

Then they came to suck off Kim Jong Il, and I said, "Ew! That ain't right."

Now they are slobbering the knob of Hungary's leader, and frankly, I am amazed at their ability to swallow.
