“This is what happens when everything about you, from your physical features to your very soul has been altered by cosmetic surgery. Just like Joe Biden, but younger,” Fox host and ditheri–wait… did he say your soul gets altered by cosmetic surgery? How shallow is he?–Tucker Carlson smarms. “You’ll say literally an-ee-thing. Words have no connection to reality. There’s no expectation you’re describing something real. You’re merely using words as a way to gain power. That’s terrifying. It’s dishonest to its core.”
Set aside the obvious hypocrisy coming from the man who mocked the election fraud claims he supported in private text messages with his media-controlling colleagues. I’d rather point out what Fox Corporation lawyers said of Tucker Carlson’s show during a 2020 defamation trial, saying the “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary.'” The judge in the case found that those words had significant meaning, siding with Fox’s attorneys and denying the defamation claim… because as Fox argued, you can’t believe Tucker Carlson.
