Cucker Tarlson's all spin zone

Cucker Tarlson backpedaled in doubletime on Friday as once loyal viewers began to shun him because he attacked Sidney Powell on Thursday.
On his show, he spun his Thursday night rant as gee-I-am-just-a-journalist-asking-questions.
The man formerly known as Tucker Carlson said, "We simply wanted to see the details. How could you not want to see them?
"So we invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire week, actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention. That's a big story."
Who is this we?
Does this mean he has a mouse in his pocket?
Using the imperial we is a way to avoid responsibility. How odd that he says his job is to hold others accountable refuses to accept responsibility.
His offer to Powell was merely an attempt to goose his own ratings.
She asked herself what was in it for her or her client, decided nothing, and declined the invitation.
Cucker Tarlson went on the air and chewed her out.
Fans mocked the heck out of him.
So now, it is Spinner time. He is working his way back to you, even if it takes four seasons.
Shortly before midnight, Fox posted a column by Tucker Carlson, "Forget democratic norms, Democrats want to punish Trump and his supporters."
His target was his competitors, naturally.
He -- or was it we? -- wrote, "It's now a crime to talk to Trump. Everyone knows that. That's an article of faith at MSNBC. The rest of us have been laboring under the illusion that the First Amendment still applies in this country, but MSNBC's legal experts know better. Supporters of unpopular presidents deserve the lengthiest jail sentence possible."
Gee, is that jail sentence longer than the one for refusing to go on his show?
And he wrote, "This ought to scare you, and it ought to make you worry about what happens when such ghouls take power in this country. We've seen it unfold all over the Third World for about 100 years. When you politicize law enforcement (and they have), when you prosecute the president's advisers for lying but ignore the obvious lying from, say, the acting director of the FBI or the director of national intelligence, you get what we're seeing now.
"The same people who complained about a politicized Department of Justice are now salivating at the prospect of unleashing the Department of Justice on their political enemies. And why wouldn't they do that? Kamala Harris has been calling for it for quite some time."
Cucker Tarlson is trying, desperately, to show that he is on our side.
OK, maybe he made a mistake. I could cut him some slack. But we are in the fight of our lives to save the republic from flat-out communism. We call it the deep state to be polite, but the reality is that the machinery is already in place to shut us down and lock us up.
Only the Supreme Court can save us now, and it is run by Chief Justice John McCain Roberts.
We -- Trump supporters -- don't have time for Anchorman Games by Cucker Tarlson. On Monday, he should just apologize. He should tell the audience, look, I let my ego cloud my judgment. I get that Sidney Powell has better things to do than spend an hour on my show. Yes, she does other shows, but so does Obama and I haven't chewed him out on national TV for failing to return my phone calls.
Till then, he's... |
