Tucker Carlson "ON VACATION" after False Claim "White Supremacy is a Hoax"

Source:CNN

FOX News has a history of Hosts going on vacation amid something controversial they have said while on air. Why am I not surprised in this instance in particular?

FOX insists the vacation has been in the works for some time. Yeah right, and Elephants fly!

When other hosts hint it's a hoax.

I look for it to be a flat out talking point soon for them.

FNC is profit driven. Period. No one gets fired if the revenue stream goes on, uninterrupted. Murdoch never made a distinction between morality and profits at any time. He declared, in Court, that FNC is an ENTERTAINMENT channel, not a news channel.

That is how I looked and felt before returning to Weight Watchers in June of 2013 to re-earn my Lifetime Member benefits, like the Venus of Willendorf.

I mean, who wants to be associated with a RACIST White NAtionalist Network?

More sponsors should follow suit on the other shows. Shep Smith appears to be the ONLY sane host they have.

While you teach him how to tie on a hook are you going to teach him how to hate also?

They pressure advertisers to drop support of hate speech. Every “like” sends the advertiser a ding that people are associating their company with bigotry, and to do something about that.
