• Banning Tucker

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Thursday, April 15, 2021 20:46:44
    Hello Everybody,

    Chelsea Clinton says Tucker Carlson should be banned from Facebook.
    Or from wherever else he chooses to spout his mouth. You know why?
    Because of what he says.

    Here is a clip of what he said on Wednesday -

    "If the vaccine is effective, there is no reason foro people who
    have received the vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact."
    ~ Tucker Carlson, Wednesday, 4/14/2021

    One would think a Fox News host would know better. But no. He goes
    on, with more nonsense -

    "So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling you that."
    ~ Tucker Carlson, same old song, as always.

    These comments by Fox News host Tucker Carlson was the most popular
    post on Facebook by Wednesday.

    Until Chelsea Clinton responded -

    "In Decemger, @facebook banned claims about #covid19 vaccines `that
    have been debunked by public health experts.'"

    Well, how about it? Will FB do what it claimed it would do?
    Will FB follow Twitter's example of banning Donald Trump?

    Chelsea added a bit more by saying Carlson's segment was "especially
    troubling given Republicn men are currentlymost likely to say they're
    not interested in being vaccinated."

    My, my. I never thought I'd live to see the day. When Chelsea
    Clinton took on FB, to ban Tucker Carlson from the far right's
    favorite hangout.

    With Trump gone from Twitter and Carlson gone from FB, where else
    are right-wing nutcases gonna go?

    Tucker Carlson isn't a news reporter though; he's an op-ed writer.

    Chelsea Clinton should be banned from Facebook for having such an unsightly profile photo.

    Hello Aaron,

    Or from wherever else he chooses to spout his mouth. You know why?
    Because of what he says.

    Tucker Carlson isn't a news reporter though; he's an op-ed writer.

    Regardless of what you might want to call him, the fact remains
    he wrote what he wrote - as quoted in my message.

    However, I am glad you agree with FB's policy, and that FB should
    keep its word by carrying out its policy of banning folks who have
    made fake claims about covid-19 vaccines - claims that have been
    debunked by public health experts.

    Problem is, FB has yet to ban Tucker Carlson. Even though Twitter
    has permanently banned Donald Trump. Now that is what you call a
    double standard.

    Now the question is -
    What does it take for Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson?

    Chelsea Clinton should be banned from Facebook for having such an unsightly
    profile photo.

    FB has no policy concerning what a woman looks like.

    Tucker Carlson is responsible for everything he says and does.
    Including making false claims, as noted by Chelsea Clinton.

    They should ban whoever they want.

    FB has a policy of banning folks who make false claims concerning
    covid-19 vaccines. It has been shown by Chelsea Clinton and others
    that Tucker Carlson violated FB's policy. Therefore, FB should own
    up and tell Tucker Carlson bye-bye, as per its current policy.

    "This establishment reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time."

    Twitter is doing just fine without Donald Trump.
    FB will also do just fine without Tucker Carlson.

    They shouldn't risk losing business though - that's their mistake.

    Fox News will also do just fine without Tucker Carlson.

    Half of America is ready to dump them just like they did with CNN.

    Ratings are down for both Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
    So when will Fox News fire Tacker Carlson?

    SNL provides better and more up to date news than FOX or the Tucker show although SNL is entertainment.

    FOX news doesn't seem to care about facts, just stories and they have an abundance of those.

    Chelsea Clinton stated a fact. A fact a person you like. Saying bad
    things about Chelsea Clinton does not change the facts about what your
    hero did. Nor does it change the facts about what FB's policy is.

    My parents (not disgraces) taught me that if you don't like
    something, then don't look at it.

    Then why do you continue to watch Tucker Carlson on Fox News, or
    follow him on FB?

    But Lefties hate Tucker because he's speaking about things they don't want spoken about. The Left needs to maintain control of the Narrative. If too many people start speaking about how the Narrative is untrue, the false
    reality that the Left wants to spin falls apart.

    So cancelling Tucker has nothing to do with what anyone likes. It has do
    to with control.

    I've seen the Tucker Show before though. He's an opinion writer. He doesn't have to tell the truth. Only on liberal media platforms does he have to tell the truth (or get kicked off.)

    Tucker Carlson isn't an Op-Ed reporter but a media sensationalist who
    strives to communicate to his viewers a skewed view of "his world" and
    what FOX "News" wishes people to hear about. Why would Trump call
    Tucker his friend unless he was happy to communicate all the conspiracy theories he created? This isn't a "leftie" thing, it's about reality.

    I'm sure it gives Mark Zuckerberg a rager. I just think it's ridiculous for
    him (or the facebook corportation) to think that anyone really follows Tucker on Facebook anyway.

    Do you follow Tucker on Facebook? I don't. He's cool, but the only way I'd really watch him is if I'm at someone's house where they have cable tv.

    Stuff that Tucker says is fun entertainment, but I don't care if I miss something he said. I care more about actual political developments or maybe some sensational racial stories (We all love a fun racial story thanks to our crappy media outlets.)

    But that's why the Lefties don't like him. Pointing out their hypocracy damages the Narrative.

    You also said "SNL provides better... news" which, to me, to be news requires it to be factual. So, you either believe that SNL provides facts, or that
    news doesn't have to contain facts. Either is telling.

    it, they don't want anyone to be able to look at it. I am old enough that
    I remember when Congress went after rock and roll c1990. What is really
    funny is that I know people my age who thought that cancel attempt was
    totally uncalled for, went against free speech, etc., but boy oh boy they
    are on the bandwagon now!

    When they mention someone going after Dr. Seuss (or whoever) as "progress,"
    I point back to the rock and roll issue and they get really upset. They
    can't understand that rock and roll was offending someone at the time just
    like (whatever) is offending them now.

    Even so it's more believable than Tucker, or fox news.

    You also said "SNL provides better... news" which, to me, to be news requires it to be factual. So, you either believe that SNL provides facts, or that news doesn't have to contain facts. Either is telling.

    The meaning is simple. Just as I clearly explained to you.

    I'm about the same. When he roasts Lefties for their hypocracy, it's
    very entertaining.

    But that's why the Lefties don't like him. Pointing out their hypocracy damages the Narrative.

    They should update their terms of service like this:

    "Everything you say must be either truthful or fulfill Democrat-approved narratives, even if you're just a 15 year old internet troll, or we'll ban you for life."

    When they mention someone going after Dr. Seuss (or whoever) as "progress," I point back to the rock and roll issue and they get really upset. They can't understand that rock and roll was offending someone
    at the time just like (whatever) is offending them now.

    Ozzy Osbourne is one of those people - he was sued because a fan killed
    himself after listening to "Suicide Solution," but now he's a Biden supporter.

    Hello Aaron,

    FOX news doesn't seem to care about facts, just stories and
    they hav
    an
    abundance of those.

    Fox ranks 2nd in news channels in the states with MSNBC being
    1st and
    being 3rd. (According to this article anyway:)

    The subject is not whatever Fox News might be ranked.
    It is about FB's policy to ban those who spout fake news
    about covid-19 vaccines.

    Jeff's showing us how jumping around is fun sometimes :)

    Your refusal to answer the question make you look like a funny
    little kid who knows nothing about what he is talking about.

    But Al was saying "Fox is full of it" but they aren't. Tucker Carlson might
    be full of it, but Brett Bair isn't full of it.

    So when is FB going to ban Tucker Carlson for violating its policy?
    And when is Fox News going to fire Tucker Carson? If it is all about
    ratings, both are failing miserably.

    Hello Aaron,

    The question is, should FB ban Tucker Carlson due to its own policy,
    or give him a pass?

    They should ban him because that's what liberal douche policies call for.

    FB wrote its own policy. Tucker Carlson violated that policy.
    Chelsea Clinton raised the question, noting Carlson's violation
    of FB policy.

    I have no idea what "liberal douch policies" are, or might be.
    But I do know FB has its own policy, which Tucker Carlson violated.

    Should FB ban Tucker Carlson due to its own policy, or give him a pass?

    Follow-up question -

    When is Fox News going to fire Tucker Carlson?

    But Lefties hate Tucker because he's speaking about things they don't
    want spoken about. The Left needs to maintain control of the Narrative. If too many people start speaking about how the Narrative is untrue, the false reality that the Left wants to spin falls apart.

    I don't know much about Tucker yet the left and right are perfect enemies and behind the scenes it wouldn't surprise me if they are drinking champaign and laughing.

    Both left and right need each other..

    The Elites have been around for along time. They've always believed that

    Facebook's not for conservatives.

    https://www.rt.com/uk/513407-facebook-ban-socialist-party/


    FB. Can't even keep its own promises.

    Socialists +1
    FaceBook 0

    What good is it to have a policy if FB chooses not to enforce it?

    Chelsea Clinton has called on FB to ban Tucker Carlson due to its
    own policy. FB has refused to do so, realizing what happened with its
    attempt to ban the Socialist Party.

    I wonder what would happen if Donald J. Trump and his followers
    decide to tell Twitter to "un-ban" him, like Socialists in the UK
    told FaceBook what to do?

    And when is Fox News going to fire Tucker Carson? If it is all LL>about
    ratings, both are failing miserably.

    For Facebook, banning Tucker is good for business.

    It would be. And not just for FaceBook.

    For Fox News, keeping Tucker around is good for business.

    And continue to lose revenue? Losing revenue is never good

    Hello Aaron,

    I have no idea what "liberal douch policies" are, or might be.

    Believe in yourself - you know more about them than I do.

    "Believe in me and you will live forever." ~Jesus

    The Big Lie.

    Did Jesus believe in himself? What did his belief in himself
    teach him about women? Or men?

    Please. Look at the evidence -

    Men scourged him. Men crowned him with thorns. Men forced him
    to drag a tree though a town. Men nailed him to a tree. Men
    pierced a spear through his side.

    Women wept over him. Women stayed with him the whole time
    he was nailed to a tree. Women dressed his body, and wrapped
    it up in a piece of cloth. After it was given to them by a
    wealthy man who bought it from the soldiers who took it off
    the tree.

    And then, three days later, Jesus appeared to them. And told
    them not to touch it, as he wasn't quite there yet.

    So what did the women do? They ran and told the guys what they
    had seen. And none of them believed a thing the women told them.
    Except for Thomas. He believed everything the women told him.

    A woman is always right. A whole lot of women saying the same
    thing are also always right. That is one thing Thomas never
    doubted. Which is why he was always known as "doubting" Thomoas.

    Then Jesus showed up. Inside their room. All those in the room
    thought they were seeing a ghost. Yet there he was, eating
    bread and drinking water. And nothing was spilling out due to
    his wounds. So they knew something was wrong. Seriously wrong.

    Except for Thomas, as he had learned the truth earlier.

    Since Jesus realized how scared everybody in the room was (except
    for Thomas, who knew the truth), he asked Thomas to stick his finger
    in the holes in his hands. And then to stick his hand in the hole
    in his side. That really spooked the rest of the guys, and they all
    wanted to run and flee out of the room as fast as they could. But
    they couldn't, all because the door was locked. Thomas was laughing
    so hard he almost died. Fortunately, Jesus was kind enough to let
    Thomas tell them what had happened. And then he disappeared.

    If you don't believe me, read the gospel accounts. It's all in there.
