Apologies if this has been shared already. I haven’t watched Fox or Tucker Carlson before - I know they are biased obviously - but he did seem to grasp the wider problem of the ideology in terms of making people lie and affecting how you think being dangerous etc.

Excellent, thank you for posting that. Here's the segment on the Fox News channel:

Thank you!

She’s indomitable!

Glad she’s getting the message out there.

Carlson's opening monologue from the previous evening, on Ketanji Brown Jackson not defining what a woman is, is also worth a watch:

Tucker Carlson is a racist piece of shit and his - and the republicans - jumping on the bandwagon of gender criticism has absolutely nothing to do with respect for women or concern about women's rights. They hate women. The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position. The senate hearing was obscenely racist. And nothing could persuade me to click on a Fox News link - nothing Tucker Carlson says is worth a watch. He is an offence to humanity and no friend of women.

This. Which does not detract from the fact I 100% agree with Posie Parker. We are being used and screwed over by men on all sides.

The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position.

I appreciate your passion, and your desire to only interact with people with integrity.

The problem is that the reason "what is a woman?" is a gotcha is that loads of people agreed to pretend to believe an obvious lie to avoid being unkind.

It's led to a situation where people either continue to repeat the lie and look idiotic or they speak the truth and get accused of being a bigot.

The lack of integrity that got us into this situation is still being promoted by supposedly progressive left-wingers.

You need to aim some of your rage at them.

The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position.

I think if someone who works with law cannot define a very simple term like 'woman', then they are not fit for the job. It is not the job of a solicitor or barrister to be popular, it is their job to keep the letter of the law. If they are flummoxed when defining woman, then what does that make of laws regarding 'women'? Are they also meaningless?

I like Tucker Carlson.
I don't get all the hatred for the right of politics. It's the left who are throwing women under the bus with their performative virtual signaling. It is alt right channels, newspapers and blogs that have helped make this a mainstream conversation. If you were waiting in the left, you'd be seeing tumbleweeds blowing in the wind.

The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position.

As a woman and a black woman I think ANY woman going for SCOTUS judge who cannot define what a woman is shouldn't be in that position.

That goes for either end of the political spectrum both here and abroad. If you are a woman in politics and are willing to deny your own sex based reality then you cannot represent me. Please step down/away/depart.

The trial for SCOTUS judge is always brutal. If it's a Republican candidate you can be sure the Democrat senators will try to pin them to the wall with race inclusion, Roe vs Wade, healthcare etc and make them squirm as much as possible. I believe Amy Coney Barrett was asked some quite nasty questions about race in regards to her adopted children.

I'm not sure if ever stops the candidate becoming Scotus judge regardless. I'm puzzled by all the effort considering they seem to get voted in with a majority anyway. Perhaps Americans can shed light on it.

I often what Glen Loury's podcasts with John McWhorter, and he was talking a bit in one about going for an interview with Carleton. JM was a little skeptical of the whole idea and for that matter I think GL was unsure how it would go as well.

Interestingly he said it was a good interview, TC asked good questions, allowed him lots of time to say what he wanted to say, and brought out the issues that were were significant.

I'm not sure there is much use in talking about interviewers like this "using" people like PP or GL. It is one thing to take someone, twist their words, use what they say dishonestly. That's quite different than someone allowing them to say what they mean in a full and complete way.

Yes it's a gotcha question.

Because they can't answer it without revealing the illogical absurdity of their position.
And not answering it reveals the illogical absurdity of their position.

Tucker Carlson is a racist.
Tucker Carlson hates women.
Tucker Carlson is transphobic.

See the problem? All easy slurs, except one of them can now also be applied to you.

You need to aim some of your rage at them.

I have plenty of rage for them and have directed it in real life and on other threads. But the topic of this thread is Tucker Carlson. He is a piece of shit imo and nothing would make me watch Fox News - the lovely people who gave us Trump, Covid denial, Vaccine denial (the later 2 while shielding themselves and getting the vaccine), Critical Race Theory frothing, riling up the right about BLM, Jan 6 insurrection apologies and the bare-faced lie that the election was stolen. They are a threat to democracy.

If you were against vaccine mandates: vaccine denier.

If you thought Trump made a good point on anything: Trump supporter.

If you didn't agree Jan 6th was a pearl harbor level disaster: insurrection apologist.

If you have any concerns about the BLM movement: racist frother.

If you don't think trans women are women: transphobic piece of shit.

It's all the same. Lack of nuance, easy dismissive slurs, good/bad thinking.

If you engage in any of the simplistic side taking above, you can't complain when it gets aimed at you.

But the topic of this thread is Tucker Carlson

Actually I think it's Posie Parker.

posie parker on Tucker Carlson.

Look most likely we agree completely on the gender critical stuff. I'll do a lot for the cause but I won't listen to Fox News and I won't accept that thinking Fox News and Tucker Carlson are threats to the democracy in which I live is unnuanced thinking. When you see evil you should call it out.

And Malaga, nothing you listed there has any relevance to Fox New's agenda and content. They were hardly saying "well I know Trump is wrong on many things but he did make a good point about xyz" or "we understand BLM but we have some concerns" Those nuanced thoughts belong to other commentators- not them.

Am I really having to point out the damage Fox News has done to a group of feminists?

I have to say, although her 'I'm not a vet, but I know what a dog is' crack was sheer perfection, the obvious spontaneous scorn of oh my god, don't be ridiculous, comes a very close second.

The distain was so clearly genuine it was enough to disarm anyone.

It’s always the same whenever the right wing media are involved, it’s concern or contempt over them promoting or hosting someone GC. It was the same when Matt Walsh was on Dr Phil and had perfectly legitimate views about the Loudoun County rape case; but instead the focus was on his right wing position.

The real question is why isn’t anyone from MSNBC or CNN hosting Posie? Why are they so anti-women? CNN had Rachel McKinnon/Veronica Ivy on FFS. Posie appearing on Tucker Carlson and Fox News is as much as an indictment on the Left’s hatred of women - particularly opinionated women who won’t toe the party line - and their avoidance of hosting them on air as it is of anything else.

The real question is why isn’t anyone from MSNBC or CNN hosting Posie?

yes.

I also am fiercely gender critical but I won’t watch tucker Carlson. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and he’s a master of hypocrisy, I suppose they asked him because he’s such an expert ‘ in terms of making people lie and affecting how you think being dangerous etc’ I wish he could be charged re January 6 personally.

If you don't watch Fox or Tucker Carlson then presumably you have no idea the range of topics they discuss, the people they have on, or the level of scrutiny of ideas?

And your view is based only on what you glean from the framing others give you?

It's a right wing channel so it'll all be right wing slanted, as CNN is left biased. And both appealing to their bases.

I don't watch either as I despise the superficial tribal approach of main stream media, but then I don't claim one side is good and the other side is an evil piece of shit, so I don't think that type of media it's aimed at me.

And you don't have to explain to feminists the evils of Fox news. In fact I hope you don't bother here as this thread is about Posie and not your wider political views.

But maybe you could begin to just imagine: not all feminists share all your views.
And that's OK.

He sufficiently far out on the scale of awful that reading the US news gives you a fairly regular update on his latest interview, rant, public humiliating of people, beating up on minorities etc etc. although I have just ended my wsj so I won’t get that centre right view on his awfulness as much from now on.

So do people who refuse to ever watch anything on Fox News, also refuse to watch GB News as, even though they are the only channel who have had many feminists on and regularly challenge gender ideology, they have also had Nigel Farage on?
