Tucker Carlson has admitted to lying and in his own defense in his defamation lawsuit, his lawyers argued, "any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements". In other words, he should not be believed without skepticism. I feel for people who believe these TV hosts and their opinions.

Tell Joe Cristofaro, not exactly, and then see if he is willing to provide the actual court filings from the Tucker case rather than the editorial of a right-wing rag. I bet he won't.
To wit, I have linked the filings to the Maddow case. Here is an excerpt:

"Turning to the merits, the panel held that Maddow’s statement was well within the bounds of what qualified as protected speech under the First Amendment. The challenged statement was an obvious exaggeration, cushioned within an undisputed news story. The statement could not reasonably be understood to imply an assertion of objective fact, and therefore, did not amount to defamation."
- Note "undisputed news story"

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Tell dim witted Joseph that the link I provided is to the actual court filing and on the record judicial ruling and opinion. MSNBC and OAN were the litigants (though you may have to explain that last word) No spin. Apparently he couldn't be bothered to look before opening his mouth and saying something stupid, like most Trumpublicans.

I provide the official documentation and he responds with yet another puff piece.

If you choose to take medical advice from a non-medical TV show host you should probably have your dependents prepared for the inevitable.

It's truly hard to believe he gets higher ratings than just about all the real news broadcasters in the world.... It has been stated time and time again that Fox News admits that Tucker Carlson is Entertainment news, not to take it seriously, and people still take it seriously because it's on Fox news..... Sheesh!!!!

Both general society and the news have become so polar that they repeal what they dont like and believe like a religion what they agree with. I take both the Communist News Network (CNN) and Fox with a grain of salt. Many times CNN has seemed like the media department for the Democratic Party. Hard to find honest news these days.
