Tucker Carlson is the "partisan demagogue"

Tucker Carlson shows once again why his tv show was dropped. He is the hypocritical "partisan demagogue" pundit who feeds his followers faulty, biased information. Michael Calderone reports:

Still, viewers have at times grown weary of cable television's need for heated political debate shows — most notably, following Stewart's October 2004 appearance on CNN's "Crossfire." There, Stewart told hosts Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala that they should "stop hurting America."

"I'm here to confront you," Stewart said, "because we need help from the media and they're hurting us."

Stewart was declared the victor by many in the media after that appearance, and less than three months later CNN pulled the plug on the 22-year-old right-left shout-fest.

Upon the cancellation of "Crossfire," network president Jon Klein noted the Stewart critique, telling the Washington Post that "he made a good point about the noise level of these types of shows, which does nothing to illuminate the issues of the day."

Carlson, reached Friday, described Stewart as "a partisan demagogue."

"Jim Cramer may be sweaty and pathetic — he certainly was last night — but he's not responsible for the current recession," Carlson told POLITICO. "His real sin was attacking Obama's economic policies. If he hadn't done that, Stewart never would have gone after him. Stewart's doing Obama's bidding. It's that simple."

Carlson maybe upset;  the American people are fed up with biased political pundits. Too bad Carlson is not funny though his recent comments do border on the hysterical.

Buzz...Buzz....

Media Watch: Tucker Carlson has got it wrong again....

Why does the lamestream corporate media continue to allow pundits airtime who have proven themselves to be "wrong" and irrational again and again?

Yesterday, Tucker Carlson was arguing that Senator Vitter should be allowed "privacy" and not be questioned about "personal matters." Senator Vitter has positioned himself publicly as a defender of the sanctity of marriage and boasts that he co-wrote the Federal Marriage Amendment. According to Vitter, "This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history, and our two U.S. senators won't do anything about it," he said in a statement on his campaign Web site. "We need a U.S. senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts values." (Source)

Now we discover that Senator Vitter was a customer of the DC Madam and also is alleged to have been a supporter of prostitutes in Louisiana.

I say what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you are a politician who believes that sex between consenting adults is a private (not a governmental, legal matter) matter then I agree....your sex life should be "private." But if you are a politician who wants the government to police and judge the sex lives of it's citizens....then you're sex life should be held in the same public light and public standards that you advocate for others.

Now why is this concept so difficult for Tucker Carlson to understand...Instead, he wants to label progressives who are holding Senator Vitter to Vitter's "standards" hypocrites.

Well Carlson...what's good for the goose is good for the gander and it's only honest that Vitter's "sanctity of marriage standards" should apply to him.

It's no gay people who want to enjoy the sanctity of marriage who are destroying it. It's heterosexual hypocrites who need to clean up their own messy nests. And when "sanctity of marriage" public figures are caught under the wrong covers then it is NOT a private matter.
