Did Tucker try to correct the Fox lawyers and their claim concerning himself?

a reply to: Lazy88

I don't know, I wasn't there and did not read or see any news reports as such. I know the Bobulinski interview, the Hunter Biden laptop coverage and the Dominion settlement along with many of Fox News advertisers pulling out-all together that led to Tucker's departure. I remember Tucker sticking to his sources, his research team and his reporting, ignoring the pressure from advertisers, Fox News lawyers and the Murdochs. I felt then and now that Tucker held strong and true to his reporting and I found that to be an admirable quality. I have seen much of his work, recently speaking in Australia, and find his viewpoints and interviews refreshing. If you think the Fox News legal team got it right and Tucker is just pandering to a particular audience with his "demon" tail then that is your opinion. To this point we disagree. I don't know too much more about Tucker other then what I see in his work and I mostly like it.

Or was it because this…

Fox’s legal team argued that his comments “cannot reasonably be interpreted as facts”

Ended up costing fox millions of dollars?

I think there’s lots of corruption concerning voting. But there is a difference between a talking head making claims to a biased audience looking for confirmation bias vs producing actual evidence.

Sadam wanted to create his own gold backed currency like Gaddafi. At least that's how I remember it but I could be wrong.

Then is escalated;


Saddam himself told the court: "In relation to Iran, if any military or civil official claims that Saddam gave orders to use either conventional or special ammunition, which as explained is chemical, I will take responsibility with honor. But I will discuss any act committed against our people and any Iraqi citizen, whether Arab or Kurdish.

If you are going to go down that rabbit hole, at least take into consideration those who know the way around down there.

And to think it was only after Saddam threatened to circumvent the dollar that he was finally taken out. I remember when Chavez was trading oil with Cuba for medical services and Gaddafi had attempted a currency coup against the dollar..

Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention.

don't mess with the dollar hegenomy

See what thought did?


Taking the pish aside, i dont hold with any of the Gulf wars.

Fact of the matter is you can't shove democracy down the throats of people who wish to remain in the dark ages.

Which was kind of what it appears to have been about.

Then there were the lies and lack of WMD in round 2.

The thunder runs were rather impressive all the same.

Tucker has a lot of credibility,......


Does he?


Yes. He was fired from faux news for covering what was important in an honest way. Fox news got rid of him when he was their number 1 rated show because he wouldn't bend the knee to their censorship. That is how he earned his credibility.


There's not a better news guy out there than Tucker. Fox made a huge mistake getting rid of him for not revising his news to their liking.
