Evil Propagandist Carlson Tucker on PBS redefining "Leftist" |
|
This insufferable rightwing propagandist Carlson Tucker gets paid millions to spread rightwing propganda on PBS (Propaganda Broadcasting System) and other propaganda channels such CNN or MSNBC and crap lile that.
Last night on his PBS propaganda show he was up to the same old tricks of the rightwing propaganda machine--redefining leftist media. He was interviewing some other rightwing propagandist author and they were both trying to make the point that the NY Times had a leftist bias. Well, of course the times is leftist when it comes to social issues like abortion, affirmative action, the race-and-gender spoils system initiated during Nixon in order to help divide the working Americans and set them against each other.
No, the NY Times main reporters and editors are typical Democrats--latte sipping yuppies who favor the leftist social agenda, but are just as conservative as any Republican when it comes to the really important economic issues like taxes, unions, and trade. THey are as neoliberal as Clinton, Bush 1 & 2, reagan, carter, etc.
THat is what American politics is all about--the rightwing has defined the left as the center. Just look at the all the Democratic political activists who favor the neoliberal economic agenda.
But when it comes to being leftist ECONOMICALLY, the Times is about as leftist as the Wall Street Journal.

4. Still trying to get over John Stewart |
|
Part of Tucker's recent rants could be that chip he still has on his shoulder of getting wasted by Comedy Central's John Stewart.
He was quite embarrased on the web by it as it went pretty far and wide.
Of course, Tucker was brought on to "balance" Moyer's NOW (which is now neutered). :(

5. If it's counterbalancing NOW, then Paul Gigot... |
|
...needs to be kept off NOW and forever. That WSJ Editorial chief is disgusting. Besides, he has his own PBS show.
