My bone with him is not about bias. Almost all media are reflexively biased to at least some degree. My bone is about out-and-out truth-telling. Fox fails miserably at that.
Ronald-I understand but he could very well be President Tucker Asshole in a couple of years. The lying is just a question of degree. Justin lied about how he didn’t force anyone to get the shot. Bullshit. Flat out lie. But I digress.
So here’s an interesting (albeit unlikely) scenario. Carlson gets the GOP nomination over Trump.
RFK Jr gets the Dem nomination over Biden.
Seems crazy, but Carlson is a more-articulate version of Trump. On the Dem side, Biden is seen by many (me included) as a boat anchor who is far too old and um…. mentally unsharp (the nicest term I could muster), who only has his incumbency keeping him afloat. I’ve read polls in which, bizarrely, RFK Jr is nearly equally popular to Biden across Dems and undecided voters. He also harbors well-known kooky anti-vax views, which might pull in some Republican voters.
I think it would be quite the entertaining dumpster fire if either or both of them made it onto the primary short list.
Warren,
I’d vote for him, sure, just as long as he changed his name to Tucker ASSHOLE.
Ronald-ignore him at your peril. 78.3 million views of his video so far. Lots can happen in 18 months. Two small examples:

If he ran, I doubt the pharmaceutical industry would fund his campaign.

Doesn’t sound too unreasonable. We were stupid enough to elect a PM just based on a name and the dumpster fire continues.
