Tucker Carlson on Mueller Probe Conclusion: ‘The People on TV Have Been Lying to You'
2019-03-25
[Breitbart] Friday on Fox News Channel’s "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson reacted to reports that Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller was submitting his the probe’s report to Attorney General William Barr, which signified the conclusion of the probe’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Given there were no indictments tied to alleged collusion between 2016 Trump campaign officials and the Russian government, Carlson concluded the many had been misled by some who have taken to television to make claims of Trump-Russia collusion.

"The people on TV have been lying to you," Carlson said. "They will deny it now. They will tell you it was always about Trump’s taxes or some foreign real estate deal or hush money he paid to a girlfriend. That’s a crock. This investigation was always from day one about collusion with Russia. About betraying this country. They told us that for years."

#5   "The people on TV have been lying to you,"
As a child I noticed that the Nightly News was distorted. If you listen to the account of the very same event as explained by "Uncle" Cronkite (CBS) vs. Huntley & Brinkley (NBC) you would start wondering if you were hallucinating. I came to the conclusion that the entire CBS reporting was worthless for anything less apolitical than the weather forecast ... And I have less respect for them now.

That's why I dumped my local newspaper and cut the cable. I figured "Why should I pay to have these assholes lie to me."

#3  M. Murcek, Tucker is just trying to get ahead of the spin.

#2  The new part is that people are realizing they've been lied to. Newsreader Walter Cronkite was “the most trusted man in America” when he closed the evening news with “And that’s the way it is”. Who could doubt him when he told us the Vietnam War was a lost cause?

But it's not just the media that's lost its shine. Thanks to that usurper Trump and the unified cross-party opposition to him, our national politics have been exposed as just an upscale version of Big Time Wrestling with it's designated good guys vs bad guys and scripted story lines.

It's nothing new, but now the marks are catching on.
