Tucker Carlson’s New Twitter Show, Seen By Millions, Starts With Conspiracy Theories

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson released the first episode of his new show on Twitter, a 10-minute screed Tuesday in which he attacked Ukraine’s president as “rat-like” and shared conspiracy theories with his millions of followers.

“As of today, we have come to Twitter, which we hope will be the shortwave radio under the blankets,” Carlson said at the end of what he called “Episode 1.” “We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave, but in the meantime, we are grateful to be here.”

The episode felt like a familiar iteration of Carlson’s opening monologues on his eponymous show at Fox News, albeit in a home studio and without any guests.

He immediately shared unfounded theories that Ukraine was responsible for the destruction of a critical dam in southern Ukraine this week, called President Volodymyr Zelenskyy our “shifty dead-eyed Ukrainian friend in a tracksuit” and demeaned the media. He also questioned why there hadn’t been more coverage of a recent whistleblower report about UFOs.

By midnight, the video had been seen more than 35 million times, according to public Twitter metrics.

Donald Trump Jr. Whines About Fox News Not Inviting Him On For Longest Time

Donald Trump Jr. on Monday griped that Fox News has not booked him as a guest in a long time, blaming “censorship.”
“I used to be on Fox three, four, five, six, 10 times a week,” he said on the “Steak for Breakfast” podcast.

“I haven’t been on in nine months. Not a call, not an invite, not anything,” he continued. “So I understand what it appears like they’re trying to do to the America First movement. You know, Tucker was another one of those voices.”
The former president’s oldest son attributed his long-term absence from the channel his father once revered to a larger issue of right-wing outlets turning against him and others.

“I’ve been watching the censorship happening, even in conservative mainstream media,” Trump Jr. said. “You saw what Fox did to Tucker Carlson last week, and the week before that, it was Dan Bongino.”
Trump attributed Carlson’s firing by Fox News to the cable personality’s “America First” agenda, such as questioning the United States’ support of Ukraine to defend itself against the Russian invasion. He claimed that Carlson was shown the door after saying that former President Donald Trump was the only person who understands foreign policy and the risks of the U. S. proxy war with Russia.

Carlson was ousted after Fox News settled a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million. The conservative channel rode the ex-president’s false cries of balloting fraud from the likes of Carlson to feed its ratings.
Carlson was also found to have sent “highly offensive” messages that alarmed Fox execs. He privately mocked spreaders of the election lies while publicly boosting the conspiracy theories. He also privately disparaged the former president.

Fox could likely survive a nine-figure loss to Dominion, analysts say

Fox Corp. can most likely weather even the harshest financial penalty that could come from Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit, analysts say.

The blockbuster trial — originally set to begin in a Delaware court on Monday before being unexpectedly delayed by one day — will determine whether Fox Corp. can be held liable for false claims made on Fox News, the media company’s namesake cable TV property, that Dominion’s voting machines were used to rig the 2020 presidential election.

Dominion’s lawsuit seeks $1.6 billion in compensatory damages, an amount that experts said would likely be whittled down substantially depending on the jury’s judgment or in an out-of-court settlement. Fox said in a court filing Sunday that it believed Dominion had lowered its requested damages to around $1 billion, but the voting machine company disputed that, saying it had not reduced its claim.

The media giant contests any claims of liability or damages sought by Dominion, with a Fox spokesperson calling the lawsuit “a political crusade in search of a financial windfall, but the real cost would be cherished First Amendment rights.”

In the event Dominion wins its case, said Lyrissa Lidsky, a constitutional law professor at the University of Florida, the jury is highly unlikely to award Dominion all the money it’s seeking for what it says is the reputational damage exacted by Fox News’ broadcasts.

In theory, Lidsky said, the jurors could also impose punitive damages to punish Fox for “extremely wrongful conduct” and award an even higher financial penalty than Dominion asked for. But she said she had seen no evidence “thus far that suggests there are going to be damages at that magnitude, even though the damages may be very large.”

There have been several "sourced" reports, by several media outlets, both national and local, that have been supposedly proven to be false by other "sources", which is fine. The problem I have, is people will post it on social media, which they have every right to, they're under no obligation to investigate a story that has supposedly been confirmed by the trusted media but instead of the media saying they, themselves have spread "misinformation" or that they simply fucked up, they go after the people that posted what the media reported to be correct. They say it's the "extreme right with their crazy conspiracy theories" or "the spread of "misinformation". Umm, it came from YOU! Do you think it's intentional?

Someone brought this theory up to me the other day. He said that the infamous white male school shooters happen not because they feel hostility towards the world, but rather, hostility towards themselves and their family. He said that the reality is, most white kids are diddled by their daddies at a very young age, and that includes the boys, so the girls turn out with a severe complex with their dads. And it becomes a vicious cycle, because the ones who don't end up shooting a school will re-perpetuate the cycle by inflicting pain towards THEIR kin, THEIR own children.

Every single time I see a discussion come up where women claim they don’t like muscular men a bunch of women in the comments will say how much they like dad bods or chubby guys or whatever and I’m not saying that’s not the type of guys they’ve dated but I’m sorry ur full of shit if u tell me chubby guys are the most sexually attractive to women generally. I’m pretty sure most women for the life of them cannot admit that the guys they’ve dated aren’t ideally attractive. Is it coincidence that male strippers all have the body type I posted below? I just don’t believe women when they say they don’t like muscular men. Because all my personal experience and common sense says otherwise. Discuss maybe I’m crazy but what do u guys think of my theory.
