Love Tuck - dude is MAGA AF and doesn't care who knows it, has an amazing laugh that drives leftists crazy, and is no lower than the 4th most important person in our fight to save America as we know her behind Elon, Trump, and Big Dick Ron.

I see two problems from Dinesh's side.

1. There is a simple disagreement between Tucker's producers and Salem Media for the length of time the trailer would be shown on Tucker's show. Tucker's producers want to cut it in half. Dinesh/Salem want the entire trailer shown and won't allow any of the trailer to be played piecemeal on Tucker's show. They can't come to an agreement so none of the trailer get's shown on Tucker.

2. And this is the biggest issue with Dinesh, he didn't name any of the mules or NGO management in the documentary. Name names so people can be prosecuted for crimes.

Anyone who watched Fox on election night and the months following that night and still thinks anyone at Fox is good and on the up and up needs to have their head examined. Fox throws a little controlled red meat to conservatives via Tucker Carlson and Tucker is very good at what he does but make no mistake, Fox is a fraud from top to bottom.

I see the producer’s point. They’re in the business of selling ads sandwiched around content. 90 seconds is a considerable amount of time in the commercial advertisement world. If Dinesh wanted that much time solely dedicated to his show, he needed to buy it.

My take on this is as follows.

1. This is ego on both sides of it and their panties are in a snit and it’s stupid.

2. It pisses me off at Tucker’s show bc Dinesh has a point, Dinesh paid for and produced the content.

3. It pisses me off at Dinesh bc this feud has been cited by the leftist trolls of the world as “Tucker rejects the movie as not credible.”

4. It pisses me off at both bc Catherine Englebrecht and her sidekick Greg are the people who deserve the credit for the investigation, not Dinesh or Tucker or Tucker’s apparently douchey executive producer who deserves an ego check for this.

5. I remain pissed at Fox as a whole for failing to cover election fraud that True the Vote has proven to have occurred and that Democrat douchebag that “called” Arizona for Biden at 2 percent returns was rehired to run cover for that dementia patient and to cover fox’s arse bc they either wanted to also run cover for the dementia patient or that they were too embarrassed to confess how wrong they were after Karl Rove shite the bed during Pierre Delecto v. Black Jesus election. Either way. Big Fox is terrible. Tucker is the only thing I pay any attn to on there and he and Dinesh need to stop measuring their penises with Catherine’s work.

Sounds like it was producers and not Tucker. We all know that there are some things that FOX News isn't going to allow on the air. I really with Tucker would go to newsmax, but he would lose a massive portion of his audience, and would be giving up a metric ton of money. Sucks because I haven't watched FNC since election night.

And Fox News knows it. They just want to continue the big lie which literally means they support the stolen election.

Some here are not going to believe this. Because Tucker is the last bastion of hope. But the bow tie wearing Tucker is about ratings.

His producers exchange: twisting it to try to make Dinesh look like he was all about stealing content. Was a run-around... Because there is no way Paul Ryan and the Saudi sheik --Obama's sugadaddy-- that is a shareholder of Fox News, was allowing 2000 Mules-any air time.

This is where we are at.



They are calling Dinesh outright batshit. Shocker...

Tuck is controlled opposition. Leading the boomers by their noses. Fox News is garbage like all the rest. They are traitors, don't let their flag chyrons and teases fool you. They sold out the country long ago.

I can see Tuckers argument. No talk show or any other format would play a full 90sec trailer on their show. They play clips. They had booked the guest before ever having knowledge that a trailer would be available. Tuckers focus was on allegations and substance. Denish wanted to turn it into a purely promotional segment.

I also find it curious that the email chain begins with the producers response email. You can tell there is some catty animus there and that something must have preceeded this.

The show was pissed that Denish pulled a guest last minute leaving them scrambling to find something to fill the segment. Now I understand why the movie wasn't mentioned the second time around.

Dinesh probably should have let that slide. Curious viewers would have looked further on their own to find more info on the movie. And, Dinesh could promote it on Twitter himself after the fact. He could tell people that Tucker's show can be accessed online later by viewers. Probably would get more eyes on it that way. Would have been a win-win.

Well, it shows where their priorities lie. If both sides were unequivocally sure as to the utter importance of this film and that what it shows is literally a presidential election being stolen then there would have been a compromise. One side wanted the glory of owning a story that wasn't theirs and the other side wanted the name recognition of a movie that they can make money from.

its still more about self in both instances then country.

Lots of replies in this thread completely missing Dinesh’s point.

He communicated his terms that if Fox wanted to use it, they had to play the whole thing. He didnt hold a gun to their head, they can say no.

Instead, they f’d up and disregarded what he told them. Whether on purpose or accident - its on FOX. This producer being a fricking dick because Fox wasnt going to get their way is all Dinesh is sharing with this exchange.

The discussions about whether its normal for a news channel to play 90-second clips is irrelevant to what Dinesh posted.

He told them from the start. As time approached they wanted to trim it, he declined. At no point has Dinesh asserted FOX couldn’t decline. He is pointing out how Fox reacted when they wouldnt get THEIR way.

Don't care. Don't watch and don't trust anyone in television news. They try to be the news instead of reporting the news.

I'm hoping Tucker tears Dinesh a new a-hole.

Anyone else find it funny this is transcribed, and not screenshot of this conversation?

Like I said the other day, I think the group that dug up the info about the mules is clearly on to something and probably accurate. I've never liked Dinesh and don't trust him at all. His crying like this about it only solidifies that feeling.

Emails suck!

a phone call should have been had to avoid this misunderstanding

I mean yeah, you can't just say full trailer or no go

you don't tell fox what they can or can't do, you ask...

the guy running Tucker has a personality problem

I like Dinesh and I like Tucker

shame that happened
