Dude. How can you not realize that everything that comes out of Fox News, and particularly Ticker Carlson, is simply propaganda. It isn’t actual news. It isn’t an objective reporting of anything. It is purely propaganda. Why would you watch and listen to that, knowing that’s what it is? Seriously I don’t understand that behavior.


Because troll.

So this 50 pages of texting released by the courts between Hannity/ Paul Manafort is really something.  It was mentioned on another thread that after it went public yesterday, Hannity was AWOL last night on FoxNews w Chaffetz filling in.

Notable exchanges between Hannity and convicted felon Paul Manafort:

- Throughout a year from summers of '17 to '18, Hannity regularly communicated with Manafort while he was under criminal investigation offering help in shaping coverage of the story to a national audience. "If you ever talk, vent, grab dinner, strategize, whatever—I'm here."  Hannity makes multiple offers to “strategize" over time.

-Hannity to Manfort on the respected straight arrow Robert Mueller, “fuck him, he’s a disgrace.” 

- a recurring theme of Hannity and Manafort being pretty damn certain that Mueller has evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Jared Kushner.  Oh, why would that be ?

- Hannity asks Manafort to have Manafort's attorney (despite being under a gag order), to “send me stuff” pertaining to the Manafort's case so he can discuss it on his national broadcast. Manafort replies, “he will.”   jeezus.

- Manafort tells Hannity that Sessions has to get a different special prosecutor than Mueller and Hannity communcates to him “He has to. He is gone. Talked to a friend.”  Now WHO might that be ?  The ever living fuck ?

Drag his ass in front of Congress to testify yesterday.  If FoxNews understands what's good for them, the weaselly piece of shit warrants getting fired immediately.

In late January of this year, Manafort said in one message, "Sean, per our conversation this morning, my attorney -- Kevin Downing -- will call you at 11:30 am tomorrow. He will update you on what we are doing and how it connects to your reporting. What number should I give him to call you?”

Hannity replies, "Awesome," and says "I asked him to feed me every day" and later says, "HE HAS TO SEND ME STUFF."

While Hannity's text number is redacted, his full name is attached to some of the messages.

 

The following month, Hannity said to Manafort in a text: "Why don’t u get a sweetheart deal like Gates"

Manafort replied, “They would want me to give up Dt or family, esp JK. I would never do that.”

Lachlan Murdoch can’t be too happy right about now.  

Hannity doesn’t realize something that’s very important, and that the Murdochs know:  He can be replaced.  Trump might bitch, but Trump and his base will still tune in to whoever replaces Hannity.  The olds sure as hell won’t risk the socialists on MSNBC or CNN.

Tucker would be the clear front runner to replace Hannity.  Good thing he hasn’t made any headlines lately.

Tucker is an independent thinker who goes against the fox grain to often. 

Im a conservative who has never understood the Hannity appeal.

Tucker is a corporate shill.  He will be whatever he needs to be to get the advertising money.  Lately he’s been big on white nationalism.

Yeah; because he’s anti illegal immigration he’s a white nationalist.  You’re not even trying anymore...

If Trump is listening to him over his generals and cabinet members, he’s the clear front runner.  

I’m surprised Hannity could be that much of a dumbass.  Surely he’s got a competent personal lawyer, skilled in real estate transactions, who could steer him clear of this shit.....oh.

He’s not anti illegal immigration, he’s anti brown people that come here illegally (and probably legally) 

If you can’t see that, I don’t know what to tell you. 

I'm actually brown and I see this sighted a lot so I'll ask.  What makes him anti brown?

My guess is you’re white and infected with white guilt.

If the folks trying to get in at the southern border were white, you wouldn't hear a peep out of the Fox News crowd. They are playing off of the fear of white Americans. It sells.

As usual you make statements without any actual facts.  Par for course i guess.

 Maybe I understand when the rights of non-whites are taken away, mine are next.  Authoritarians always go after the most vulnerable populations first to set the tone.  They use the media to make their racist policies acceptable by saying it was in the name of law and order.  This is Tucker Carlson’s schtick.  

You see, we had to put these toddlers in camps, to save America.

Rather than saying it’s Tucker’s schlick, why don’t you provide actual examples like I asked for?  My guess is they either don’t exist or don’t fit your narrative.

He's the face of the racism those links document. Just watch his shows when he talks about immigration. He's not subtle about it. He's a racist.

If he’s not subtle than it should be easy to provide an example or two...

This will probably lead to the keep proving it treadmill but Tucker was literally caught on tape making racist comments.  They weren’t subtle.

Since this appears to be the only website you have access to and your search engines are all broke, I googled it for you. FYI, if you google Tucker Carlson White Supremacy you get 296,000 hits.

First result- https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2018/10/29/tucker-carlsons-descent-white-supremacy-timeline/221741

White supremacists LOVE Tucker.

Third link- http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/ex-white-nationalist-says-they-get-tips-from-tucker-carlson.html

By family history and his own early bona fides, Derek Black was slated to have a successful career in white nationalism, as far as those things go. Black’s father, Don, is the founder of the oldest neo-Nazi website, the now-shuttered Stormfront; and was a grand wizard in the KKK; a member of the American Nazi Party; and was convicted in 1981 for attempting to overthrow the government of the Caribbean island of Dominica, part of a long dream for white nationalists to establish their own government. Derek Black’s mother, Chloe, was once married to David Duke.

“It’s really, really alarming that my family watches Tucker Carlson show once and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the white nationalist talking points better than they have and they’re trying to get some tips on how to advance it.”

https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/08/leaked-chat-messages-show-members-white-supremacist-group-identity-evropa-are-obsessed-tucker/223083

 

Here it is synced up with white supremacists.

Yep.  It ended up meaning nothing when O’Reilly, Megan Kelly, and even Roger Ailes left.  The personality actually doesn’t matter at all.  Just get a robot to read the anti-lib screed and say the red meat line the audience wants to hear, and Fox will still be golden. 

Kelly could be moderate/liberal, and she couldn’t care less who she worked for as long as her checks cleared.  But O’Reilly, he firmly tied his brand to the Fox News wagon, and then poof, he’s gone and most people can’t even remember exactly when it happened. 

O’Reilly should have been the wake-up call to Hannity and the others . Some of his defenders were acting like Fox News was making a hugely mistake that they couldn’t recover from.  Now it’s “Bill O’Who?”

The racism and loss of advertisers is fine for the time being with the Murdochs, so it will be interesting where this goes.  I was surprised Hannity was pulled that quickly.  Wonder if he’ll be there Monday.   He’s doubling down on twitter.

Are Iraqi’s brown? Because he called them “semiliterate monkeys”.

How about where he said about Obama “I’m not sure how black he is, but I’m sure he’s a good basketball player”.

You could try simply reading what’s been presented to you. Or you can continue being an ignorant rube who supports racism, misogyny, and homophobia. I imagine you’ll go for the latter.

I forgot that Cohen has 3 clients: trump, Hannity and the GOP finance lead.  Nothing odd about that.
