Guest Post by Eric Peters
Great heaves of outrage have been directed at former Fox commentator Tucker Carlson – who got fired from Fox for telling the truth about the drugs that were never vaccines and the fact that the drug cartels own the media (via advertising) as well as the government they bought with the revenue brought in via all that advertising – on account of his having had the temerity to interview the leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
Because interviewing someone constitutes endorsing him, according to the logic of the Leftists (and some Rightists). A journalist, in other words, had better not be neutral and objective.
He must be an ideologue.
He must lecture, even berate. Or just ignore.
Of course, this is fact is why what passes for journalism today is regarded with general contempt, having earned it. Bias is out of the closet now. And something more – and worse. Back in the day, everyone understood that Dan Rather leaned left. But Dan was obliged to at least try to hide his bias, which bound him to some extent at least to the standard of objectivity expected of people whose job it was to convey facts rather than lecture people about what they ought to believe.
Today, everyone knows what Rachel Maddow, et al are going to say. The people who still listen are not looking for information; they are wanting affirmation – of their ideology. It is like a pond full of ducks. When one begins to quack, the others tend to follow suit. None know what they are quacking about – or why. They just like to hear the sound of their quacking.
So, Tucker annoyed the ducks – by not quacking in sync. Accordingly, people were interested in hearing what he – and Putin – had to say. They knew Tucker wasn’t going to badger the man but rather ask him questions and let him answer them.
Oh, the humanity!
Now, an interesting historical juxtaposition presents itself.
Younger readers may be unfamiliar with the name William Shirer. Back in the 1930s, he was doing what Tucker just did – going where the news is and covering/interviewing those who were making it. In Shirer’s case, this included the chancellor of the German Reich, Adolf Hitler. As well as Reich Minister Paul Josef Goebbels and many other high-level officials of the NSDAP, the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Did this mean Shirer was a “Nazi”? (In air fingers quotation marks because that acronym was never used by the national socialists themselves.)
No. It meant he was a journalist. One does not get the story by boycotting those who are its principal characters. Shirer – who later wrote of his experience living in Berlin during the pre-war years and even after the war began in 1939 – described having to be careful about what he wrote about and how, in order to avoid being kicked out of the Reich (or worse) by the national socialists. But he decided, so he would later explain to his readers, to remain in situ for as long as he felt he could still effectively cover the story – that is, tell the truth – before he was obliged (by the national socialists) to shut up about it or (worse) convey the opposite of that. He’d leave first, he said.
Eventually, he did – because he had no other choice. He could no longer cover the story with neutrality and objectivity. So he left.
Tucker went – because (in part) that’s where the story was. Also because he had assurance he could cover it, as opposed to covering it up. The latter being what is now expected of the ideologue-propagandists who masquerade as “journalists” in much the same way that MRNa drugs mask themselves as the “vaccines” the aren’t.
Whatever your thoughts are regarding Putin, they are beside the point. One need not admire him, agree with him or defend him in order to cover him.
And that’s just what Tucker had the effrontery to do. He covered the story. Part of that was letting Putin tell his side of it.
The other part was letting us decide what to make of it.

Tucker was fired from Fox because he started to how footage of Jan 6 that contradicted the “insurrection” narrative, and Schmucky Schummer went on cable and called out Rupert Murdock by name and raged that he needed to fire Tucker.
Pretty sure his “firing” (you ever been fired and continue to receive millions from your former employer?) was so he could get a little street cred with the last vestiges of what could be considered “conservatives” who watched him on CNBC Lite (Fox).
He’s an asset of the complex. Don’t be obtuse.
Probably true, but he does shake up the narrative, does he not? Isn’t that a good thing? Maybe he is acute? Speaking of triangles.
Triangulation. Grassy-fed knoll supplanted by grains, hormones, antibiotics. 8 ball hemorrhage, among others, ensues.
Questioner : What is more expensive? Hormone or gene therapy?
Benny Hill: A pair of “hormones” is far more expensive than a pair of “genes”.
Just re-branded as some alt-media judas goat/gate-keeper. The trick is to NOT follow anyone.
Bingo
Andy Dufresne : How can you be so obtuse?Warden Samuel Norton : [his anger rising] What? What did you call me?
Tried to post a GIF but I guess I don’t know how…
IIRC, Andy snuck out and the warden wound up eating a bullet from his revolver. At the end of the day it sucks to be obtuse.
Well done! lol!
He is still getting millions.
Why?
It’s called a contract.
Ask Tucker’s lawyer and agent.
What a completely plausible explanation.
This is the very definition of Talmudic. You can’t use electricity on the Shabbat, but if you can inveigle a goyim to turn it on for you, it’s all good in the hood. No harm, no foul, law has been followed. You go to war with another country, but you still pay them hundreds of millions of dollars for goods, services, resources because of pre-existing agreements, etc., etc.
It is a tissue of lies, built on a foundation of falsehoods, propped up by an army of dupes.
So let’s ask Tucker’s lawyer- did I even need to look him up to know what I discovered about him?
…prominent Hollywood lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has a track record of getting multimillion-dollar settlements for TV stars and other celebrities.
Things are exactly what they are, not what someone fools you into believing they could be.
Tucker Carlson globetrots around the world like Beyonce on tour, right into Literal Hitler’s front office, yet aside from a good tongue lashing from Joy Reid, what harm has he suffered? Increased viewership, far beyond the scope of Fox. What sanctions, setbacks, loss of access to bank accounts, use of passport, being sent to a virtual gulag where he is banned from all social media, etc.?
Zip. Nada. Zilch.
Tucker serves a purpose. There is a growing and restive population of people who no longer follow the MSM as slavishly as the Boomers do and they must not coalesce into a legitimate resistance to what is planned. People like Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson offer just enough of a vent to let off this steam as the controllers feel necessary and not a whit more. Both of them evince a mix of the truly informed and the ceaseless befuddlement required to keep the lid on. They see that something’s not right, but they just can’t seem to connect the dots. Ever.
Oh well.
I know it gives one hope to think that maybe this time it will be different, but like the Halls of Justice, there is no justice in these halls. This is a schtick, a play, a grand theater.
Feel free to watch it, take what you can glean from it and try to make it make sense along with all the rest, but to accept it at face value?
I can’t even.
I am as pessimistic as they come when it comes politicians/media…
My Wishful thinking is that the tuckers/Rogans being financially independent and knowing they have a platform …also have families and hopefully a conscience .. and maybe they do see the writing on the wall just like most of us have … and maybe by gods grace they came to conclusion that some one has to speak up… are they ringing the bells and screaming on top of their lungs , no, understandably, they see what they are dealing with at the other side, corrupt power at every level, and they are tippy toeing , little by little getting more brave and saying things you will not hear anywhere else in main stream media..slowly waking up people from the spell they been under for last 8 yrs(some maybe a lifetime). It’s better than nothing.
When Putin mentioned to Tucker that he applied for CIA and Tucker didn’t flinch was telling.
Again..wishful thinking.
Not wishful thinking. Religious thinking.
Apparently another talmudic thing is that the men must not have sex with their wives during their monthly … but it’s perfectly fine to have sex with a gentile woman during that time … so they go to a whorehouse run by a jewish woman who has — as required by their ‘law’ — only gentile women because you cannot make a jewish woman a whore.
Nah, HSF.
The amout of unhinged vitriol and demands from The Borg and their mouthpiece ,American Pravda from both “sides” of The Uniparty aisle for Carlson’s head on a pike shows me he is a genuine threat to them. He is exposing all the Borg lies about Russia/Ukraine.
The Borg are terrified about that. After all, there are billions of unlaundered DC sheckles at stake.
How many people over the years have the media all said bad things about, where the person in question actually turned out to be a genuine threat to the System?
I would believe it more if there was a conspiracy of silence.
Nah, CA. By that same standard it would be accurate to assume that Trump is a genuine threat to the actual PTB. It’s much safer to assume that whatever is pushed in the corporate media is bullshit.
It is such a common play, I don’t know why most don’t see it. It is the whole theme of Trump and he is in your face fraudulent at every level. It is amazing. Astounding. It doesn’t add to my faith, it is just sickening.
The bottle must contain two fighting scorpions or else the shekels will not properly flow.
Did anyone else look for the red bracelet in the Putin interview?
Hint: Tucker was wearing it.
So…they were setting him up for the VP slot all this long time? That DOES sound “complex”!
That’s what I said!
Kudos HSF
Is Putin running cover for Tucker?
Putin Says He Was Disappointed by Tucker Carlson’s Soft Questions
The Russian authoritarian steamrolled the former Fox News during their two-hour interview last week…
Russian President Vladimir Putin was apparently itching for a verbal wrestling match with Tucker Carlson when the former Fox News host interviewed him earlier this month. He was disappointed not to get one.
Speaking to Russian state TV anchor Pavel Zarubin earlier this week, Putin said that he “thought he would behave aggressively and ask so-called sharp questions. I wasn’t just prepared for this, I wanted it!”

Rolling Stone, got it.
.
Nice eye patch Ray Shaw has there, goes well with the exposed left breast, an apron and maybe a sash would really complete the look.
They both wear the red string bracelet.
Tucker and the CIA had a long time to war game that out.
Sorry but I just can’t buy the story about Tucker getting “fired”. I believe he just got a new assignment.
And Shirer has a book full of the biggest lies that you will find in every library in America.
I think you’re forgetting Maynard Keynes.
Say what you will about Tuck and Vlad, Eric hits the nail on the head by using the total collapse of journalism as a metaphor for the total collapse of most everything else around us.
Truth be told, “hooker” implies more virtue than “journalist”.
Except for the slight problem that we are likely living in what might be considered the golden years of journalism, at least as far as quantity of those practicing the vocation. Yes, the old guard has falling on hard times, but the new guards are a vast multitude, thanks to internet.
Don’t confuse quantity with quality … there’s just more drivel out there today than ever before made possible by one of the worst inventions of all time — the internet.
There are two side to every story… the official Shyer version and the version that was censored.
Unfinished Victory
ARTHUR BRYANT • 1940 • 79,000 WORDS
During the years that immediately followed the Inflation, when German trade, freed from every prior charge, was temporarily booming and when foreign money, seeking an outlet from more fortunate lands, poured in the shape of loans into the Republic, the Jews obtained a wonderful ascendancy in politics, business and the learned professions. Though there were little more than half a million of them living in the midst of a people of sixty-two millions — less, that is, than one per cent of the population — their control of the national wealth and power soon lost all relation to their numbers. In the 1924 Reichstag nearly a quarter of the Social Democratic representatives were Jews. Every post-war Ministry had its quota of them. In business, according to figures published in 1931 by a Jewish statistician, they controlled 57 per cent of the metal trade, 22 per cent of the grain and 39 per cent of the textile. Of 98 members of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 50, or more than half, were Jewish, and of the 1474 of the Stock Exchange in 1930 no less than 1200. Twelve out of sixteen of the Committee of the Berlin Commodity Exchange were Jews and ten out of twelve of the Metal Exchange.
The banks, including the Reichsbank and the big private banks, were practically controlled by them. So were the publishing trade, the cinema, the theatres and a large part of the Press — all the normal means, in fact, by which public opinion in a civilised country is formed. In 1931, of 29 theatres in Berlin 23 had Jewish directors. The largest newspaper combine in the country with a daily circulation of four millions was a Jewish monopoly. So virtually were the Press Departments of the Prussian administration. At one period of the Republic’s history, as Mr. Mowrer pointed out, a telephone conversation between three Jews in Ministerial Offices could effect the suspension of any newspaper in the State.[80] It was a power that was frequently used.
In the artistic and learned professions the Jewish supremacy was as marked. Authorship in Germany almost seemed to have become a kind of Hebrew monopoly. It helps perhaps to explain the contempt for some of the greatest products of the human mind which has since so tragically prevailed in Nazi Germany. For many years the professional organisations of German writers were controlled almost entirely by Jews. In 1931, of 144 him scripts worked, 119 were written by Jews and 77 produced by them. Medicine and the Law followed the same trend: 42 per cent of the Berlin doctors in 1932 were Jews, and 48 per cent of the lawyers. So in Berlin University — by far the largest in the country were 15 out of 44 of the teachers of Law, and 118 out of 265 of the teachers of Medicine. Every year it became harder for a Gentile to gain or keep a foothold in any privileged occupation.
At this time it was not the Aryans who exercised racial discrimination. It was a discrimination which operated without violence. It was one exercised by a minority against a majority. There was no persecution, only elimination. “It seems”, Montz Goldstein, the Jewish essayist, had written before the war, “

Eric Peters is a solid. I’ve been reading his takes on numerous topics aside from autos now for years and the dude has a grip.
As long as you don’t bring up mustache-man.
He’s like everyone else with an opinion: sometimes he’s solid and sometimes he leads himself astray. In other words, he’s human.
The ONLY reason they hate Tucker is because he didn’t help them keep Putin off the world stage. You see, when you’ve lied about someone continuously, it doesn’t really pay to let them have a soap box to stand on as they refute your bullshit. Tucker did just that, and so now he must pay the price.
I personally have some reservations about Carlson, but nothing that would rise to the level of dislike, let alone hate.
MSM on the other hand? I’d like to set their collective hair on fire, but Tucker beat me to it.
Having never read Shyers rubber stamped official lies on the propaganda problems of WWII , I wonder how much ink was spilled on atrocities committed by allied depopulation forces ?
