Friday Fox Follies – Tucker With An “F”

Friday Fox Follies – Tucker With An “F”
By: Headly Westerfield

In January Friday Fox Follies reported on man/boy Tucker Carlson. Since there’s nothing FFF likes better than to quote itself, here’s a smidgen from The “F” Words about his bizarre triple role:

Aside from being owner of The Daily Caller — which broke the totally-made-up-Senator-Bob-Menedez-with-Hookers story that Fox “News” ran with — he has a part-time gig (for the healthcare?) as an anchor for Weekend Fox & Friends, which — wrap your brain around this — is a dumbed-down version of the weekday show.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL, as they say on tee vee. The motherTucker shows up all over the Fox schedule to participate in those phony “Fair and Balanced” debates. How “Fair and Balanced” can he be when he always takes the anti-Obama, anti-government, anti-Political Correctness, anti-wussification, anti-logical position in his adolescent whiny voice?

However, add Fox “News” defender to Tucker Carlson’s ultimate humiliation: Corruption, “journalism” & a flagrant conflict of interest.

It was first noted by the Twitteroti, and then the rest of the Media Watching Media [MWM] piled on, when Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson, Who Once Called Fox News “A Mean, Sick Group,” Reportedly Won’t Allow Fox Criticism. Which is why Mickey Kaus quits Daily Caller after Tucker Carlson pulls critical Fox News column, citing Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller Commandment: Don’t Trash Fox News.

Even worse is How Mickey Kaus found out about Tucker Carlson’s ‘no-trash-Fox rule’ in which CNN’s Brian Stelter agrees with my January assessment, using far fewer words:

Carlson, the [Daily Caller] site’s editor in chief, doubles as a commentator on Fox and the co-host of the weekend editions of its morning show “Fox & Friends.” It’s an unusual arrangement, to be sure.
