COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

[Barry Charles]

The only thing we know for certain is that he says obviously true things when the rest of the media (including the rest of Fox) is in lock step promoting a lie.

I love you like a brother … but we don’t know that for certain. Do you mean some of the things he says or everything he says?

Trying to recruit them as the haters. But why are you sending women links to articles instead of dick pics?

The right question is, why was I talking to a 30 year old catholic virgin from Detroit who supports socialism? And no, she wasn't hot if you're wondering.
I used to be pretty masochistic I guess.
She seemed like an intelligent gal, but obviusly victim of a bunch of propaganda, I guess she is a target, being a black woman susceptible to fairytailes.
Not as much as us young white males who are replacing their fathers with Rip obviously

Plenty of stuff about this today, with this being the most important: Fox News Stock Loses $962 Million in Market Value After Tucker Carlson Exit

Megan Kelly predicts Tucker will move to independent media and make much more money.

I predict this to be another important step in the death of corporate fake news. Cable news and network news have been committing slow suicide for years, this will be an accelerant.

Independent media is also influenced/controlled by the establishment propaganda machine. Choose your sources carefully.

I hope she's right. The two of them should form a network.

Can TC build the infrastructure to protect himself? There are plenty that target him from multiple vectors and will continue to do so. His vulnerability grows on all fronts as an independent. Many appreciate him greatly but he doesn't owe anybody anything. It was a phenom' run. I wouldn't blame him if he vanished.

Another piece off the gameboard.

I don't think Tucker foretells cataclysm. I do wonder how much longer the energy and agricultural sectors can continue before a disruption causes a full-stop event.

I also don't understand how people think lithium batteries will be able to be produced soon, let alone cheaply, given how insanely reliant the entire supply and manufacturing chain is on oil and natural gas.

The real reason Tucker was fired today.

With all this Tucker shit going on, let's not forget what started this thread. From Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit: The COVID lockdown scolds killed people — but they still have no shame

It was a golden age for scolds, busybodies and petty tyrants, and they made the most of it.

The result was a drastic loss of trust in the honesty and competence of public authorities, scientists and the media at every level, a loss of trust that was 100% justified.

I myself wasn’t skeptical enough, which is rare. I knew the history of the 1918 flu, where there were short-term mask rules and business closures, and foolishly assumed the coronavirus rules would be something like that. Short term and comparatively modest.

Boy, was I wrong. In my defense, we live in a different — and in many respects worse — America than 1918’s.

Our authorities are more venal and less competent (no small feat, as they were no great shakes back then, really), our press more one-sided and, lamentably, our public less willing to resist the abuse of power.

Though in the event of some new pandemic, I expect much less cooperation. People may have been too trusting before, but now they know better.

I hope she's right. The two of them should form a network.

I predict he ends up on The Daily Wire. Seems like a no-brainer with all of their production and distribution capability. But he'll have more control and earn more money (not initially) if he ventures off on his own. Curious to see what his priorities are.
