...because Tucker Carlson is so dangerous


quote:

Let's be honest here, Eric Swalwell is totally in favor of banning anything Fang Fang tells him is bad.

On MSNBC, a network that would never broadcast outright lies and misinformation, Eric Swalwell claimed that Tucker and Laura Ingraham are SO dangerous that the US should ban their broadcast to American soldiers serving overseas.

I think about our troops... and a popular channel is Fox News. And I don't want to get in the business of telling people what they can and cannot watch, but when you have a news station... perpetuating mis and disinformation I don't disagree... that we need to take a look at how this is being broadcast to our troops.

I hope that's an incentive for Fox News to clean up its evening hour starting with Tucker Carlson and going all the way to Laura Ingraham.

Yes, Swalwell thinks that we shouldn't tell troops what they can and cannot watch as far as news sources go... BUT he hopes that Fox News will "clean up" its act.

When leftists say they want to "defend democracy", they really mean they want to eliminate any and all speech with which they disagree.

If Eric was dropped off in South Chicago with no cell phone or wallet, I would not mount for what would happen to him next.

In the old Soviet Union, each apartment came with a radio and residents hs to pay a monthly fee for the radio. Unlike what we think of as a radio, the Soviet radio received transmissions via a hard wire cable, not a radio receiver. The government controlled what went across the wire. Televisions were unaffordable for most people.

Sounds like Swalwell would like that model for US citizens and military personnel.

They must be scared because the people see how corrupt and evil DC is and who the frick wants to fight for them. If you join the military you are not defending american freedoms, that is a con. You are nothing more than a shake down scum bag for foreign Bankster interests. The people now see all the lies and no body wants this government so no body wants to fight for it.

There is no difference between Fox News and the likes of CNN, MSNBC, etc... as it pertains to political preference (dare I say "bias")

Fox News is just brazen about it and they don't give a frick, which I'm fine with. It's their network, and while I would prefer news outlets to be legitimately fair and balanced, we just don't live in that world.

In this day and age, every adult in this country should have the wherewithal to understand that you need to take in information from multiple sources concerning any topic to make an informed decision.

Aside from Tucker and Gutfeld, Faux News is another liberal/RINO network at best.

When that's too "conservative" for the liberal communists, you realize how far the middle has shifted to the Left.

We're in deep shite.

Please take care of us, government.
We're too daft to know better.
Your ethics and expertise are what we crave.

one look at the hearings last week proves that. Democrats openly support censorship of any opposing views. They even use the intelligence agencies of the US to enforce it. How people defend this shite is beyond me but we have quite a few on here that have no problem with it.

I wonder if Shallowswell would consider letting the
military personnel vote on that.

I can think of no better way to get the E-4 and below tuned in than to tell them they can't watch it because it's dangerous
