Carlson and Lemon should team up on a show. It would be like William F. Buckley’s “Crossfire” but without the intelligence. They should call it “S**tfire” and it would bring in $billions.
We had a dance party at my home yesterday. Good bye and good riddance to both. My facebook memories are full of rebukes of Lemon. He never read the Bible but was fond of misquoting it. This may explain some of the right’s dislike. He also spent a huge amount of time pointing out how EVERYTHING in the universe was racist. Sigh. I haven’t watched him for a long time. Of course all I know of Tucker is what I read as Fox News has not been on at our house for too many years to count! I do miss Shep too. Perhaps we could start a campaign to get CNN to hire him?
I always watched Shep on Fox. He certainly attacked whomever he disagreed with. Trouble was he was just as vociferous when he was wrong as when he was right. Not good for a so-called unbiased journalist. Maybe he just needed a liberal opinion slot or maybe that's what he had at CNBC and it did not sell well.
Personally I’d rather hear the truth from a liberal perspective than lies from a conservative viewpoint. If you give me the facts, I can make up my own mind.
True objective, totally unbiased journalism is rare and always has been. Going back hundreds of years, newspapers were very partisan. Many of today’s biased media outlets are probably less partisan than in the old days.
Can't disagree with that. Reporting just the facts is not entertaining so we do not see much of it. If the news anchors do not present speculation, opinion and competing guests, people tune out and do not pay attention. I prefer newspapers but they are mostly crap these days. I read the AJC from WWII until 2007 when they closed down their statewide distribution. I even had the Sunday issue mailed to me when I lived in Seattle.
TV and newspapers both deliver biased and slanted reporting. The difference in language and words used by reporters of opposing political persuasions is astounding. And when they get to the point of quoting sources who can't be named, that's when you have to choose who to believe.

Tucker was already on (and fired from) Crossfire, which at that time basically was Sh*tfire.

I think that is a great idea.

Sometimes I agreed with him and sometimes not, but I enjoyed watching him and never had to worry that he was making stuff up.
True but sometimes he was mistaken or listened to the wrong people. He is opinionated and picks whatever he wants to believe. Happens to all of us.
