CNN's Jim Acosta Righteously Renames the Tucker Carlson, Fox News False Flag Flick: 'PROUD BOY PORN'

On Saturday afternoon CNN's Jim Acosta delivered a scathing review of Carlson's demagoguery (video below). It was so complete and accurate that it hardly needs any commentary. So without further ado, Acosta said that...

"The reason why federal investigators and millions of Americans are terrified by right-wing violence in this country is because it keeps happening. and Tucker Carlson is inciting more of it. Tucker is calling his propaganda flick "The Patriot Purge!" It's nothing more than Proud Boy porn. And the worst part is that a major corporation in America, Fox News, is bankrolling it.

30 years of rw radio, and now limbaugh's death.

for instance rachel maddow can do a couple of segments on the giulliani/powelll press conference as aa major trigger for all this 'big lie' (what's a bigger lie than 30 years of unchallenged global warming denial?) bullshit triggering jan 6 and maybe facebook/russian involvement - and her researchers never realized the press conference was timed to start with limbaugh's show that day and he already had a script.

and limbaugh's death has a huge impact on republican and russian influence on media and TFGs ability to push media - limbaughg was top guy for RW spin for 30 years, whoever fed him, and now the 600 xlimbaugh stations that led 1000 others for the cans and fascists are split up - there is no central messaging. the few hundred racist liars that were used to have to follow limbaugh's lead are going to be all over the place as they assert their 'independence'. and what does the ad industry do? how can stations get as much for the limbaugh replacements as for limbaugh?

ill bet a transcript of carlson's porn show's all sorts of references to years of 'liberal deep state' 'russia hoax' from limbaugh that lliberals ignored

rw radio has played a major part in the disaster and still does but it is ready to fall apart and it wouldn't take much activism to destroy it

for what it is - a subversive pro-fascist organization.

From Wikipedia....

Subversion refers to a process by which the values and principles of a system in place are contradicted or reversed in an attempt to transform the established social order and its structures of power, authority, hierarchy, and social norms. Subversion can be described as an attack on the public morale and, "the will to resist intervention are the products of combined political and social or class loyalties which are usually attached to national symbols. Following penetration, and parallel with the forced disintegration of political and social institutions of the state, these tendencies may be detached and transferred to the political or ideological cause of the aggressor". Subversion is used as a tool to achieve political goals because it generally carries less risk, cost, and difficulty as opposed to open belligerency. Furthermore, it is a relatively cheap form of warfare that does not require large amounts of training.

Just another reason why big corporations and media need to be broken up, again.

13. CNN AND HBO are both owned by Time Warner. So TW must support their anti-Koch messaging.

Koch can't control everything, and he probably doesn't even need to do ad buy through them.
Still, he either wants to ad buy with TW or he doesn't.

He's the corporation that needs breaking up -- Koch Industries. His foundation system and part ownership of hundreds of college economics departments' budgets is another thing that should be broken up. He believes money is freedom -- on his terms or else.
