Who is Fucker Carlson anyway?
I think I spelt that right.
@lydiaconwell Whatever you may think of him, he was the only media personality in the US who repeatedly called for the release of Julian #Assange and for the treatment of whistleblowers as heroes instead of traitors. He also denounced US military spending and endless wars.
Maybe we (I'm talking about the left) should focus on what brings us together instead of on what sets us apart, if we want to get things done.
@josemanuel Here's a #JonathanCook article I am about to read. I'm sure it'll give me some insight.
@lydiaconwell Well, he's certainly a conservative, so his show always had that angle (his views on immigration were especially worrying), but, at the same time, he gave a platform to many progressive voices and championed issues that, on a sane timeline, would be championed by the left. (On one of his last shows he denounced the enormous influence of Big Pharma on the US media, for instance. He also recently expressed his remorse at having cheered for the Iraq war, and he has opposed the proxy war in Ukraine and the US confrontation with China.)
@josemanuel Actually, I know nothing about him except he worked for Fox and he's been sacked.
But working for Fox is a bit crappy, no?
