You have to remember that an awful lot of us don't have access to the television programme Succession, and therefore haven't got a fucking clue what you're talking about. And we do care about what's happening in real life with Murdoch's legacy.

This would be amazingly stupid from a liability perspective, but very on brand nonetheless

Well worth a watch.

This is a few days old, and was recorded (but not, as one on-screen captioned photo makes clear, edited and released) before Carlson's sacking, but I very much enjoyed it as an explainer to the layperson of why Dominion settled rather than taking it to trial and why Fox won't be looking forward to the Smartmatic case.

Speaking of Smartmatic, the producer who is suing Fox and Carlson related yesterday that she has tapes of 90 meetings and conversations that sge considers relevant and that Smartmatic has subpoenaed her so as to get access to same.Last edited by ursus arctos; 26-04-2023, 12:52.

I don't know if he's right or not, but he's very convincing, and suitably cagey. I'm sure there are some here able to cast a more informed eye on what he actually says. I first came across him in a video that was basically just how many laws did maverick break in top gun, with a naval prosecutor, and well.... it may have been a great recruitment tool for the american armed forces, but it was fundamentally misleading about what military life actually was like. Maverick commits capital crimes, And he doesn't wear a motorcycle helmet, which is frowned on in california.

Yes, that was also their conclusion! Maverick broke every rule other than the one about not smoking in the fuel stores, and not just doing a viktor belenko

Carlson seems to have been fired because of his use of the word "cunt", both in a text about a Fox executive and to create a misogynistic environment in his office, resulting in two lawsuits. Joan Walsh wrote in 2019 that he had said to her colleague that she was a cunt. Then there's audio of a radio show in 2006-09 containing such pleasantries as how he'd like to watch two 14 year old girls have sex.
It should also be noted that he was losing advertisers over his racist rants about immigrants, Kamala Harris, etc.
I don't buy that his persona was an acting performance. His hatred for powerful women and black men is real, as is his antisemitism (the same Christian fascism as the Florida GOP).Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 28-04-2023, 09:05.
