What happened to Tucker Carlson?
6 2018-04-21 by IanPhlegming
I have never seen his show during it's air time, nor what would be considered a "fan" of Tucker Carlson, but I have watched a few of his segments on YouTube, including the recent ones about Syria. Certainly he was being more brave than any other talking head television pundit propagandist.
After Friday, he's now been off of his own show for three straight nights and nobody's talking about it or asking what's up. You remember when O'Reilly and more recently Laura Ingraham went MIA, it was a big deal. Nothing for Tucker Carlson.
It's weird, right?

Ingraham is back now- she dipped for a week for "Easter" but my guess was the Fox Execs told her to take a whole week off to let the David Hogg stuff pass. Not sure what's up with Carlson but it may be something similar- though not because of David Hogg.

You cannot tell the truth anymore.

Truth is treason in an empire of lies
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
With O'Reilly it was about sex, so everybody in media talked about it. For Ingraham the issue was rooted in guns and made her look bad, so they wanted to talk about it. With Carlson, he was....telling the truth?

If you have access to it, re-watch his Monday show. Some other stuff on Tuesday, and similar content last week. If I had to guess, it seems that pressure has come on him to tone down the genuine skeptical journalism. He was asking hard questions and pointing out that the Syria stuff is nonsense and the establishment's push for war is ill-advised. It seems that has maybe irked TPTB and he's been admonished for it.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
It's amazing they've got the dissent locked down so hard and nobody's talking about it anywhere. Not even on r/conspiracy.

here's a thread from 2 days ago on Carlsons absence. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/8djuix/tucker_carlson_hasnt_appeared_on_his_show_4_the/?st=jga4k1za&sh=a37aef0e
1 Roastafarian 2018-04-21
an update from the other thread. In Minute 59 of Friday's show, Kilmeade said Tucker would be back on Monday from a vacation, but 7 seconds later, Kilmeade said about himself that, [quote] "I'll be back on Fox And Friends unless I get suspended" [end quote] -- seemingly hinting that Tucker's "vacation" that began mid-week Tuesday night may have actually been a suspension.

In order to take down Al Capone during prohibition, Treasury officers without family were recruited specifically so the mob couldn’t corrupt them. They were called the Untouchables. We need a modern day Eliot Ness

Either a price or something they care about turned against them. I like to think i’d hold my principle for 40 pieces of silver. but that’s easy to say
1 Apersonofinterest666 2018-04-21
Crime pays well.
1 Rightfull9 2018-04-21
The reason its not a big topic of discussion here is because the Trump shills need to make sure Fox News doesn't get discredited because they need it for their propaganda. So its hushed up that Carlson has been shipped off to a reeducation center for saying the wrong thing.
People are underestimating the how effective Trump's online propaganda operation is.
1 VividDreaming 2018-04-21
I saw these and was amazed what he was arguing was being played on America's #1 most viewed news television channel
1 StopHAARPingOnMe 2018-04-21
I was hoping tucker woukd have got through to my dad. He didnt. My dad thinks he was dangerously close to supporting an enemy of the us and being a traitor
As opposed to being upset hes been lied to his entire life about the reason for war
I asked him what he thinks about the tucker stuff and he said traitors shpuldnt have millions of dollars in salary from a news organization
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
That's very sad. How old is your dad? Is he ex-miltary? Was he always this way?
1 StopHAARPingOnMe 2018-04-21
60 this year. Yeah he just retired from the guard. There's no way to reason with him. I was in the army for 7 years so I had always hoped that would help him listen but nah
Ive given him multiple first hand accounts of things that were misreported in iraq and he still doesnt care lol
1 Rightfull9 2018-04-21
The Trump propaganda on the internet is really strong. They smear people who don't go along no matter how much they praised them when it was convenient
1 bittermanscolon 2018-04-21
I wouldn't say its weird. The MSM is anti truth and a pusher of war. It fits exactly with their clear agenda. I am not trying to sound like a know-it-all but this fits with what the media is all about right now.
1 Nutricidal 2018-04-21
Fox news is msm. That most of the Donald people respect the man is a Huge statement. Most of America ain't buying it. It's a turning point.

1 gandalfsbastard 2018-04-21
I would figure the executives are more worried about litigation than anything. Even a pundit ‘entertainer’ can be held accountable for slander. People like Tucker act like journalists but they are just shilling for ratings. When they say stuff that is unverifiable or unsourced and act like they have ‘protection of the press’ to legitimize their opinion they are vulnerable to lawsuits. Just look at what is happening right now, people selling opinions as fact right now are being sued left and right, pun intended.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
Right. But the fact no one is talking about it at all is unsettling.
1 gandalfsbastard 2018-04-21
Looks like it’s been a year since he backfilled OReilly. Maybe it’s contract related?
1 AngryD09 2018-04-21
That might be a great observation. Just in time for Tucker to loosen up a little on air too.
1 Drooperdoo 2018-04-21
Unverifiable? Like an unverified gas attack?
One America News sent a reporter to the site, and he learned that no such gas attack happened.
1 gandalfsbastard 2018-04-21
He did not visit the site. He was not allowed into the actual block where it happened. The people he interviewed did not say anything to to support either version of events only that they helped hose off folks that could have been gassed. Maybe they were just panicking or hysterical or they were taking advantage of the attack to run propaganda. In any event it is not support or evidence of anything that someone should trust one way or the other.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
I appreciate this comment. It helps add information without passing judgement either way. Thank you.

Young conspiracy lovers have to realize that they are being marketed to and so, will have tons of sunshine blown up their asses. Tucker is a blower.
1 hookahhoes 2018-04-21
Well, right. Most people would agree with that, but he wasn't afraid to ask question the last couple weeks and now he's gone. is he gone for a reason is the question.
1 WinterEcho 2018-04-21
I feel like you're implying that he may not fully believe in the things he reports on, and so that somehow invalidates his show.
I don't really care if he's a true believer, it literally does not matter to me, I only care that he's one of the only ones in the mainstream bringing these topics to the forefront.
For what it's worth I think I remember hearing he's a hardcore libertarian, which I'm down with except for open borders.
1 ilikerealmaplesyrup 2018-04-21
He denies 911. Until he flips, it's a trap.
1 Jac0b777 2018-04-21
Ehhh I don't know about that.
Even people that deny the weird things about 9/11 and sheepishly nod to the official narrative can have some great insights into other areas. Noam Chomsky is a good example of that.
It's just that things like 9/11 and other similar events are usually too sensitive to talk about. Tucker or others that nod to the official explanations of these events without question may even have private misgivings about them, but they know that speaking about it on air would likely not be the best idea and could truly cost them their job, while having them labeled a "conspiracy theorist", a term brilliantly slided by the CIA that makes you seem like a fool for not bowing down to the government and media's official storyline.
1 Apersonofinterest666 2018-04-21
He denies 911 because if he didn’t there would be no Tucker Carlson Show.
1 Rightfull9 2018-04-21
If you watch him talking about it, its not a denial of convenience. He goes out of his way to stomp on 9/11 truth.
1 Apersonofinterest666 2018-04-21
Geraldo used to do the same. Now he’s a believer. He managed to keep his job. Maybe Tucker will see the light.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
He supports the lone gunman JFK murder, too.
The only thought I have to offer on that is some people say it's not worth the effort fighting battles that are already lost. It's better to fight to stop the next terrible thing from happening.
1 starry7833378333 2018-04-21
I've been a bit curious as well. It's been talked about a tiny bit on Reddit, but I'm not social media savvy enough to know if it's been discussed anywhere else. I do believe one of the fill in's mentioned he was on vacation. Wouldn't doubt it had to do with his questioning of the Syria narrative. But I'm under the impression, unclear on why I think this, that he'll be back on Monday. We'll see.
1 erietemperance 2018-04-21
Yeah I heard the same thing. I didn't even think it was weird. People need to go on vacation every now and then.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
If you didn't find it at least a little bit odd, you might be in the wrong subreddit.
1 erietemperance 2018-04-21
Well another host said he was on vacation and will be back Monday,
He was back today. I don't know what the Conspiracy is.

Isn’t he the dude that brought a troll on Fox News just to point out that they spent money to find out he was a troll? Ya don’t care.. he lost credibility after that lol

Tucker was told to go to his room and think about his behaviour.

1 th3allyK4t 2018-04-21
I’m just seeing too much evidence that this syria attack was a false flag. And when there’s too much evidence, and very convenient evidence at that it makes me start to wonder. That interview on sky news cut short etc. No admiral would voice his own opinion when given the government view on the situation. Small children conveniently filmed saying there was no attack. I’ve seen the speed the MOD can take down an unwanted photo off social media. Trust me it’s quick and it’s decisive, yet here we are with streams of videos about false attacks etc.
And since being in the uk I don’t know Tucker Carlson. But would he have voiced his opinion without his bosses approval ? And would they have so obviously taken him off air ? It’s screaming a psy op of sorts. A week ago people on the street were talking about the real possibility of nuclear war, now in RT some Russian ambassador has said there’s 100% chance nuclear war wouldn’t happen and little Kim has decided to not proceed any further with his Nuke plan. I mean WTF ?? It’s like dating a bipolar person one minute you are fighting next minute it’s as calm as a spring morning.
1 IanPhlegming 2018-04-21
It's possible Carlson is totally playing puppet, but I don't want to believe that. As I mentioned elsewhere, he's been totally on board with "Oswald acted alone" and "The 9/11 Official Story looks good to me."
But he may also have enough freedom and leeway to get off a couple shows before management puts the hammer down, if he really does doubt the Syria story. As a BUSINESS decision, Carlson is doing his job--replacing Bill O'Reilly with decent ratings, enough to continue to win that time slot among all the 24 hour news networks, even if they aren't as high as O'Reilly's in his prime.
I do notice the whiplash back and forth to drive Americans to hyperactive levels of anxiety, then reduce, and there certainly could be motivation behind that.
It's all half lies, at least, all the time.
1 th3allyK4t 2018-04-21
Agree re the whiplash. Seems like trump and little Kim want to cover each other with strawberry jam now.

Basically Cenk Uyger agreeing with Tucker Carlson. If people are watching Tucker on the right and watching Cenk on the left, word is definitely getting around. Hopefully whatever is going on with Tucker will be like the Streisand effect and call more attention to the whores at the top and how they play when making the call for war.

Unpopular opinion I’m sure but I actually really like Tucker Carlson, I think he is a real-genuine guy that knows what he’s talking about
1 GimmeWafflez 2018-04-21
I agree. I don’t really watch the news on tv much but I’ve seen some of his clips and he often seems pretty level headed. I get that Fox isn’t trusted/popular but they need to work somewhere I guess.

What we see here is a wild r/politics commenter out of their natural habitat. Watch as they engage haplessly from one bout of opinion to the next regurgitating the same John Oliver audience cackling you hear after a depressing fact about reality is described on the show. Their general inability to process information conflicting with their ideologically fueled presuppositions leaves them unable to blend with their surroundings as they wail into the night sky like a manic wraith, nearly unable to be understood but clearly attempting to make some kind of point.

1 Rightfull9 2018-04-21
Oh no doubt. I can't remember Carlson's coverage of the Iraq war but it wouldn't surprise me if he did carry the water for the establishment.
But in this instance he is advocating against the Syria War and that message is directly at odds with Fox News and Rupert Murdoch's Pro-War Neocon agenda.
1 CivilianConsumer 2018-04-21
A lot of people were fooled back then, he likely realized he got played and they took advantage and misdirected our patriotism.

I was fooled, too, in the aftermath of 9/11. Their trauma-based programming worked exceptionally well.
1 monkhouse 2018-04-21
My guess - he got a little too far ahead of the revelation schedule with his remarks about douma, so he's been pulled aside to be 'read in', ie get the briefing. When he pops up again he'll be one of the people saying 'tick tock' and playing coy.
