    Oh no, I am possibly going to move into one. Lived in one at 2 other stages in my life, I should probably watch that.

    no

    but we pretend MSNBC is the Mao Tse Tung Hour, and that the right is the center.

    Tucker rose because the Trump years have given racism an open door in American society, and he embraced that. As I said before I don't watch him, I won't watch him, but most of the clips I see he is saying the absolute most racist things that 5 years ago no one would have dreamed of saying out loud.

    They are perfectly fine if you buy a good one and own the land it goes on.

    I haven't seen this on here, but Carlson has been bleeding advertisers over the last month because of his rhetoric. At some point, is that going to matter to Fox News?

    FWIW, you need to put his huge ratings into context. 4.3 million people is a huge TV audience, but it's also a tiny fraction of the overall population. It's completely conceivable that he attracts a large TV audience that represents only, say 20 percent of the overall voting population. ... and that say 80 percent of people, if they ever heard him, would think, "What a racist douchebag."

    It's clear, from things I have read, that Stephen Miller, or whoever else is writing Trump's speeches, is either taking their cues from Carlson's nightly monologue, or maybe even Carlson is writing the speeches for them. There have been reports that he may be sort of shadow advising Trump. If that is the case, though, I highly suspect that it's a message that is tailored to a small, lowest common denominator audience, and that turns off just about everyone else in the country.

    I watch very little of each channel, but you believe this...why?

    In the print/online universe, the NYT is indisputably, remarkably left on many stories.

    We've been through this. Many times.

    To the 'left' of what? You?

    Why do you believe no one on MSNBC is as far left as folks on Fox News are to the right?
