I threw Tucker in there

I threw Tucker in there because I thought it more likely y'all would want to talk about that.

I had to write this because the reviews of the movie did not understand it at all. It depicts a Tarzan who felt regret over killing an African boy, sure, but it also depicted Samuel L. Jackson's character as clueless, lazy, ignorant and reckless to the point that Tarzan choked him out while he was talking nonsense. It depicted the African chiefs as collaborating with colonials for their own selfish gain. It was an all around nuanced and accurate movie and the critics reviewing it didn't get that at all.

p.s. as long as he is

In reply to that IS a good quote about

p.s. as long as he is profitable - where the Depends commercials keep coming in - Murdoch Inc. will keep him. Too many on the left get Murdoch Inc. wrong, they sell infotainment, that's it, that's the whole thing. If it's not profitable, out it goes-Bill O'Reilly was losing his advertisers, that's when it was over for him. Libs screaming over their programming, that makes that audience tune in more. And when it could really hurt the whole financial foundation - like too much emphasis on overturning the election around Jan. 6 - it's only then that the kibosh comes down from on high. Other than that, if you're profitable, you stay. Milquetoast conservative is pretty boring, no fireworks to watch.

In reply to Tucker who?

that IS a good quote about Tucker, a useful reminder that he started out with a milquetoast sensible conservative brand! then when Trumpism came along, he supported it, likely because his audience thought this Trump thing was new and exciting, own the crazy liberal culture warriors with Trump shtick. but Trump turned out crazy too and now he's stuck defending really loony Trump shit. The thing is, now every time he makes big news by turning libs into screaming mimis, his audience likes that.

Tucker who?

This, from Jimmy Kimmel, is very perceptive. People talk all the time about what effect Tucker has on his audience, but the true question is the effect the audience has on him. pic.twitter.com/H1ALoxKT75
