Liar or moron, those are the available options.
In Tucker’s defense (?) his staffer most familiar with right-wing message boards was fired for his posts on right-wing message boards.
Anyway he should check in with the also-dumb Jesse Watters, who seemed fully aware last year of both QAnon’s “crazy stuff” and its “great stuff.” ImageImage

Ah yeah when I think of Fox News I definitely think of consistent support for mask-wearing. businessinsider.com/fox-news-hosts…
These images are from last night.
Laura Ingraham: "The answers to these questions go directly to exposing some of the big covid lies that our press are either too stupid or too biassed to uncover for themselves."

This CPAC panelist is a raving anti-semite who claims that "Our True Enemy" is Israel, because all the Big Tech platforms are "OWNED OR CONTROLLED" by Israeli Jews, who are also responsible for all online "PEDOPHILIA" via @ehananoki mediamatters.org/diversity-disc…
@ehananoki "ackshually, it's anti-Zionism!"
@ehananoki Congrats to CPAC on your panelist's tweets.

Trump treating Newsmax and OAN as Fox’s equals will encourage other Republican politicians to do the same, furthering a radicalization spiral for both the right-wing media and the GOP.
Gonna be a weird seesaw for Fox between doing pro-Trump propaganda like it has the last several years and doing more traditional work as the GOP’s lie factory. mediamatters.org/fox-news/why-f…
What does this do for Fox's ratings? Hannity's been losing his time slot to Maddow for weeks, by up to ~1 million viewers. Does this put him back on top? Does he beat Tucker for Fox's top show?

Right-wing media remembrances of Rush Limbaugh seem curiously short on quotes from the show that he did for several decades.

Fox News, for example, has repeatedly aired clips from his 2009 CPAC speech, not particularly revealing comments he made on his radio show..
The FoxNews.com obit quotes the CPAC speech, his final 2020 broadcast in which he discussed his prognosis, some autobiographical quotes he made on-air, and this reference to the McNabb incident. foxnews.com/media/rush-lim… Image
Daily Caller obit: 2020 prognosis quote, CPAC quote, "resigned [from ESPN] after comments he made about an NFL quarterback sparked backlash." dailycaller.com/2021/02/17/rus…

The first person to bring the "frozen wind and solar caused the Texas grid failure" canard to Fox was Steve Moore on Monday morning.
That evening, Tucker Carlson discovered the real villain -- the Green New Deal.
And because he's basically running Fox, that was all the network talked about yesterday.
