Tucker Carlson doesn't have an obligation to investigate the truth of statements before making them on his show and his audience doesn't expect him to report facts, a lawyer for #FoxNews told a New York federal judge

I mean he's a talk show host, not a news anchor. Kind of goes without saying.

Tucker Carlson is the only TV political host I'll watch. I expect him to report facts and I believe he does, at least as far as he knows. He like all others, have all been wrong on things.

He's not a journalist and he reports his opinions. He's overtly stated that time and time again. When he gets things wrong, he usually admits it.

The NYT has an op ed section that does what Tucker Carlson does but, for some reason, it's ok when they do it.

It's almost like the truth falls somewhere between Fox and CNN. Crazy shite, I know.

That's one of the most disingenuous articles I've read in a while. They're trying to say that TC is a commentator, but he says certain things are true, so he should be held to the standard of a journalist overtly lying. If they want to go down that road, the MSM is going to go bankrupt on legal fees alone.

Hes not a reporter. I dont expect Don Lemon to report "the facts" either.

They are there to get viewers and generate revenue.

One lie he didn’t tell us over the past 3 years was that Donald Trump is a Russian agent and votes were changed due to Russian interference.

Not a good look to use the Rachel Maddow defense.

Conservatives don’t take to the courts to shutdown CNN nor do they boycott its sponsors. Either way, getting bent out of shape over a commentator is pathetic.
