Fucker Carlson Wants to Have It Both Ways on Coronavirus
SERIOUSLY UNSERIOUS
The Fox "News" star has won plaudits for blasting his colleagues for dismissing COVID-19 fears. But upon closer inspection, his show has been littered with reckless coverage.

Throughout February, Carlson floated the debunked theory that the virus was created by the Chinese government in a research laboratory, potentially as a bioweapon against the United States. The theory began making rounds in the right-wing media ecosystem after former Trump adviser Steve Bannon began pushing it on his radio show.

Despite a medical expert shooting down the now-debunked theory earlier in the month, Carlson continued to peddle it on subsequent broadcasts. On Feb. 18, Carlson hosted The Washington Times’ Bill Gertz, whose specious reporting was the basis of Bannon’s theory, to discuss his speculation. During the interview, the Fox host claimed unnamed “experts” were considering the possibility the virus was created in a Chinese lab while adding it is “worth getting to the bottom of.”

When he wasn’t wildly speculating that the virus was a Chinese bioweapon, Carlson also spent weeks blaming “diversity” for the virus. Taking aim at progressive writers who warned against racist attacks in the wake of the pandemic—hate crimes against Asian-Americans have been on the rise—Carlson groused that “identity politics trumped public health and not for the first time.”

“Wokeness is a cult,” he added. “They would let you die before they admitted that diversity is not our strength.”

He would continue to blame “identity politics” for the spread of the virus, resulting in him at one point turning to conservative columnist Eddie Scarry—best-known as the “AOC creepshot guy”—for coronavirus expertise in late February. As financial markets started to experience record drops over COVID-19 fears, Carlson gave primetime airspace to the Examiner writer, who called the disease the “Commie cough” while claiming it originated from Chinese people eating skunks. Carlson, meanwhile, applauded Scarry, claiming “everything” he said “is true” as the trollish columnist railed against political correctness and its supposed impact on the health crisis.

Who in the world would be ignorant enough to listen to this hate-monger?

I guess it did not come from China...Oh it came from US soldiers.

One must be a China denialist if one does not go along with race-baiting like this: "Carlson gave primetime airspace to the Examiner writer, who called the disease the “Commie cough” while claiming it originated from Chinese people eating skunks." What a ridiculous false dichotomy.

Let us try to be objective and rational. It's never easy, but it's worth trying.

Racism is not rational. Your deafness to it is appalling.

So, of course, Donny's shutdown of travel from China was ineffective, besides being racist.

I imagine you with your hands over your ears and your eyes screwed shut as you say that, but of course that's wrong. You have an easy, natural, and totally internal faculty for ignoring our arguments.

But I should allow you to explain yourself if you wish. Tucker is right about what?

Sigh.

Ideology trumps reality, just like religion does. they are indeed quite similar. I heard a woman say she was invulnerable to coronavirus because she was 'bathed in the blood of Jesus.'

Fauci dismisses 'conspiracy theory' of overstated US Covid-19 death toll
Top US official says ‘there is absolutely no evidence’ of claims of coronavirus overcount pushed by rightwing media

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-anthony-fauci

Already banned from CNN by Pence, watch for Fauci to be completely muzzled by this fascist regime.

Fox News’s Brit Hume, who has previously tweeted that New York’s “fatality numbers are inflated”, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s late-night show on Tuesday to claim that any person with the virus is being counted as a Covid-19 death “regardless of what else may be wrong”. Carlson responded by saying, “There may be reasons people seek an inaccurate death count,” adding: “When journalists work with numbers, there sometimes is an agenda.”

Fucker Carlson, again, is a nazi.
