Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - GMDino - 12-05-2021 https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7nnp7/tucker-carlson-hunter-biden-son-college Quote:A leaked copy of an email exchange between Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson suggests that the Fox News host once asked the now-president’s son to write a college recommendation letter for his son. RE: Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - BFritz21 - 12-06-2021 So you're saying that Tucker is wrong or hypocritical because he had no problem with Hunter Biden BEFORE Hunter did all the things that Tucker criticizes him for?! #thelogicofSteelersfans RE: Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - Belsnickel - 12-06-2021 This whole "scandal" really is on par with the bullshit Brad usually posts.

You know the BIG guy & his 10% RE: Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - Nately120 - 12-06-2021 Was it Tucker Carlson who said he had Hunter's elusive laptop with all the damning evidence on it, but he was choosing to no pursue things further? RE: Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - jmccracky - 12-06-2021 They are all friends, or they've been friends, once upon a time. This isn't shocking.

It does seem rather hypocritical to use Biden's influence to open college doors for a family member --and then knock him for trading on his father's influence. I confess to some surprise here, as I had no idea that while Tucker was falsely accusing Hunter of having child pornography on his computer, he was talking about someone he had previously included in his social circle. That was, after all, one of the things that Carlson criticized him for--i.e., an accusation without proof. https://www.businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson-baselessly-claims-hunter-biden-has-kiddie-porn-video-2021-4 It's also of interest that this only came out because of an internal war between Trump factions-- Qanon supporters and a lawyer who had jumped onto and steered the Rittenhouse bandwagon for a time. So this Wood guy "can't wait" to expose Tucker as a Hunter Biden friend, on the hopes that will tar Tucker in the eyes of those for whom any kind of friendship with any Biden at any time is treason.

Tucker being hypocritical is not breaking news ecaxly though. And to prove his hypocrisy, there might be a million better examples than this one. For generally, that you once were on good footing with someone (and asked that someone for a favor) you're no longer on good footing with several years later is stuff that happens in life.

Yeah but it's a bad look when you go on about what an immense scumbag Some one you considered a pal ended up being. It makes you look like a dolt who can't read people. Tucker's whole marketability is based around being a guy who can analyze situations and people and give his "expert opinion" so ever being on good terms with one of the most loathsome people on the planet should be a bad look. But I'll ask again, wasn't Tucker the one who had Hunters incriminating laptop and then chose to drop the story? If that was him, youd thunk that would cause a stir.

At least to me. I feel half-stories like these perpetuate the notion that people play gotcha with folks like Tucker, imho rather helping the "they dig out and throw everyhing at him for they are afraid of his truthtelling" etc narratives. There are so many bad things about Tucker to say, including him being a dolt, that I'd say drive the point home more effectively and more clearly. Quoting him, for example.

Its just odd seeing people who laid it on so thick about what a monster Hunter Biden is brush off any sort of friendliness with Tucker. I guess after seeing multiple presidents buddying up to Epstein stuff like this doesn't register anymore.

I, however, feel that the main issue is your notion that the facts and circumstances lead to a verdict. When it comes to the echo chambers left and right (here of course: right), this is fundamentally untrue. The verdict comes first and determines the perception of all facts or which surmises have to be treated as facts to get to said predetermined verdict. Stories like these (and stories I'd consider way more expressive) never can get through.

The voice of the right is a man legally declared to be taken seriously by no one with a functioning brain. Tucker is a demigod to many. It's cult behavior but meh, people gotta believe in something.

I am no longer on good footing with one of my relatives, but I don't tell the world that she has child pornography on her computer. "Calling out" the other side for "hypocrisy" is one of the primary foci of propagandists, and not generally a goal of serious political analysis. In this case, I doubt the goal of VICE was to "prove" Tucker was hypocritical. Rather, this is more about what is going on inside Trump world, an emerging development, a riff which leads right wing propagandists to turn on one another. The former Rittenhouse lawyer promises to take Fox down, apparently with the same kind of disinformation and "calling out hypocrisy" that are Fox/Tucker staples. I confess I find this rather interesting, given the ease with which the target audience can be misled by disinformation campaigns. How successful with this be? Like Qanon turning on Flynn? If the hypocrisy angle has legs it is because of the vitriol Tucker has poured on Hunter. I was genuinely surprised to hear T had broken bread with the scion of evil for years before then making him the center of a false corruption scandal for political and monetary gain. That Hunter had a drug/sex addiction problem may be reason to personally distance oneself from him, but not publicly lie about him to damage his father. Most of Tucker's target audience would, nevertheless, cheer on that unethical behavior as service to the greater good--but perhaps not if it is revealed Tucker and Hunter were chums before the chance to bash him for political gain appeared. I think Nately is right: it looks like T can't read people--or he can but knowingly cultivated a relationship with socialists, a man whose father was a traitor and out to destroy America.

RE: Tucker Carlson Asked Hunter Biden to Help His Son Get Into College - GMDino - 12-07-2021 Yeah, most of you got it that this is just funny as hell because it only shows that these talking heads are just like the WWE...they get along just fine behind the scenes when they want to but they put on a GREAT show to keep the heat coming and collect that paycheck.

Reminds me of that WWF scandal from the 80s where The Iron Shirk and Hacksaw Jim Duggan got busted doing drugs together and wrasslin fans couldn't believe they didn't actually hate each other. Also, did Tucker admit to knowing and asking Hunter for favors before? Seems a little weird he's hide it if it's such a non issue. Also was that Tucker who acted confused and denied it when Matt Gaetz talked about bringing one of his totally legal dates to dinner with Tucker and his wife? Something about glass houses comes to mind, but I'd be an unreasonable person to take these characters at their word.

Not sure that they do all get along behind the scenes. I think some try to be civil with one another. Rachel Maddow had a good relationship with Greta van Sustern. But I'd really be surprised to hear that she, Joy Reid and Lawrence O'Donnell enjoyed summer picnics and swims in the park with Rush, Hannity, and Mark Levin and their families. |
