What the shit is this article? I get the style they were going for, but come on

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No kidding. Carlson is a terrible person, and this writing is nearly as bad. I thought Mother Jones was at least somewhat respectable and wasn't expecting this garbage.

They have been garbage for a long time.

I thought it was hilarious, but I didn’t expect this from Mother Jones

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Welcome to Mother Jones. They're like The Root - I swear they deliberately hire the least qualified, least competent "journalists" available.

Here's a real article about what happened.

Some guys told them they edited Kate Middleton’s pics and were whistleblowers so he interviewed them. They told him we aren’t really this is a prank and he said nuh uh.

Link to clip, I’m not watching it. The article was funny in the wording but the whole thing itself doesn’t actually seem very funny.

Same. Don't want to hear about that sociopath.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't care either, but I care even less about whether you care.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I'd prefer to hear from the other guy over you.

I care so little I'm not even going to write a comment

... fuck.

Your comment is a waste of space on here

After reading this article, I feel like I should know what actually happened on the show - I don't though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that's not a completely biased article at all...

I like the part where they admit they only know about him from YouTube video titles.

I'm not defending Tucker, but at least try to hide your bias, put some effort in ffs.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Ha, bias. You don't need to be biased to dislike Tucker Carlson, you just need to be unbiased.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you make it clear in the very first sentence that you're heavily biased then I'm not going to finish reading it because you can't be trusted.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Tucker is one of the last media personalities I can think of that deserves any kind of a break.

I was going to ask whether you thought this counted as news in the first place, but, after consideration, realized this probably is your typical brand of hard hitting journalism.
