I'm going with the ultimate sycophant, Bill Barr on the Republicans belief in a stolen election, still pushed day after day by the current Republican front runner, as told on tape to the Committee; "I told the president it was bullshit."

I wonder; would a Xavier educated person (I'm proud to say I am) believe that "twisted view of reality"...or something Tucker dreams up?
Tough question.

Wait? Aren’t we talking about Media personalities? Like Jake Tapper who facilitated actual libel on his show? Yeah, Jake Tapper had actual libel purveyors on his show….REPEATEDLY.

Bill Barr was, and remains, a highly respected defender of the Law, before and after serving the President. He fought against the craziness of the unfounded partisan Impeachment attempts- and he was correct.

I’ve said numerous times, Paul. I don’t watch Tucker Carlson, just like 348,000,000 don’t. But here’s why Paul’s lunacy will be destroyed at the polls in November. And Paul will just sit there and scratch his head and ask “What happened?” in his delusional state.

Uh, Joe Biden has done a helluva job doing that on his own.
Current Biden approval rating: 35%- Quinnipiac (most recent poll)
Direction of the Country: Wrong Track 71%. Right Track 22%.
Hmmmm. Who canceled what????

Bump.

Also, it's one thing to have people (generally politicians) on your shows who bend the truth. That's what they do.

It's quite another to be the host of the show, and have to use your own inability to tell the truth as a defense in a libel suit.
And have the judge agree that reasonable people would know you are unable to tell the truth.

Please seek professional help.
“Bend the truth”. Kinda like CNN libeling a high school kid from Covington KY and having to pay him millions in a libel suit.
Kyle Rittenhouse will be the next $$ recipient.
Haven’t seen Carlson have to do that.

And now Paul is saying that the US system of justice is trash, because the one side that he supports couldn’t prove and convince a judge what Paul delusionally believes.
Truly lost in a blue haze fog.

Rittenhouse would probably have to sue someone which he hasn't. Nobody knows what Sandman got. Could have just been a "nuisance" amount.

Carlson said: “I guess I would ask myself, like, I mean I lie if I’m really cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t – I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.

Two media sources settled with Sandmann. The Washed Post and the Commie News Network. 2 settlements out of court could not be for chump change.
Carlson has been convicted or found guilty of nothing.
Nice try.

He is a chronic liar tho by his own admission. But then we already knew that. Keep watching.

As far as CNN, maybe you forgot about the Smartmatic 2.7 billion suit against FOX NEWS, Maria Barfiromo, Loser Dobbs and Rudy (my hair is bleeding) Guliano. The Judge cited comments by Carlson in approving the suit to proceed.
Dominion is also suing FOX for 1.6 bln. No chump change.

“Chronic” that must be what you’re on. I don’t watch him. Can you read?
Highest rated show by far on Cable News and he’s never been convicted of anything libelous.
On balance, I prefer people who will admit they stretch the truth rather than those who present a statement as absolute truth when it is akshually a lie, and when called on it never admit that they lied and then double down on it. Kinda like Hilary (Russia stole 2016), Schumer (I never threatened Supreme Court Justices), Schiff (100% evidence of collusion) , Swallwell (I didn’t screw a Chinese Spy), Biden (Build Back Better is fully paid for, I’ll shut down the virus), Obama (keep your doctor), plus plus plus.

Only approved to “proceed”. Big Deal. That’s what courts are for. Let’s see a decision.
Fox isn’t scaredy-cat settling, unlike the Washed Post & CNN.
