Links?

I posted a thread in Media, where I asked a simple question of those who watch Tucker Carlson (I do not)

It was immediately locked with the question (emoticon, actually) asking for a "link"

I asked a question, there is no "link" to my question, I'm not parroting a story from the internet. My only request is for a certain moderator to get a clue. Thank you.

Here is your thread:

What is Tucker Carlson saying about Ukraine?

Does he justify an invasion by Putin? Does he negate the significance of an invasion? Considering how many people get their news from this man, it's important to know.

You asked "What is Tucker Carlson saying about the Ukraine"


yet you neglected to link to what he was saying.

THAT is the reason it was closed.

PS you should have IMed a mod about your question.

If I asked, "WHAT is Biden saying about....."

Why would I search out what he's saying and link to it? ThecOP has a good point.

No, he doesn't.


Tucker has an hour show, 5 days a week.

Why should someone have to look up what Tucker said, to find out what he is talking about.

OP needs to provide more, for a clean OP

I'm asking for their opinion, not a link to some rightwing/leftwing website. Have you forgotten the very essence of discussion, and the personal exchange of ideas and opinions?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

there is no "link" to my question

And no point to it, either, other than to troll as per usual for you.

I'm asking for their opinion,

opinion on WHAT?

What did Tucker say that has you in a snit?

Oh that's rich.. You refuse to link to Fox but want to discuss Tucker Carlson views on Ukraine/Russia? We're not a news feed. We're a discussion board. You didn't frame a discussion. It was like dialing 411.

What was it YOU HEARD that needs explanation?
Do you have the ORIGINAL source to those quotes?

THAT'S what's required to have a discussion.

You can HAVE a thread with an opinion and no link. But if QUOTE facts or just assume somebody said it -- because you heard it on some podcast -- THEN -- you need a link.

Besides Odanny -- TWO of your comrades did THIS RIGHT about a week ago. Which makes your 411 call for info -- too little -- too late. Been discussed.

I'll give ya the links so you can catch up..

Tucker Carlson goes full out Putin!

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tucker-carlson-seth-rich-conspiracy-vladimir-putin-2016-dnc-1300337/ And he is asking why the US is defending Ukraine. Is this guy a spy or something? He is more in love with Putin than the former guy.

USMB -- all the news you need to know and rant about. All here everyday.. You dont have to risk your morals going to Fox.

We're not a news feed. We're a discussion board.

No, you're pretty much a news feed. Collectively speaking, of course.

More specifically, a kind of cable news entertainment feed. Pretty much just an extention of whatever teleprompter the millionaire on the idiot box is reading to the masses. Topical content is routinely a mirror image of whatever low-value smut that the cable news entertainment industry heads decide to throw out there to see what sticks.

To your credit, pretty much all modern 'discussion boards' are like that.

 

[Natural Citizen]

In fact, after thinking on it a few minutes longer, I'd contend that actual discussion isn't really possible in this atmosphere. Not really. It's not even encouraged.

And there's a lot of reasons for that. It's a top-down phenomenon, ultimately.

Again, though, it's pretty much the same these days, no matter what 'message board' one happens to be flipping through.

In times like these, when the flotsam and jetsam of mainstream programming is left littered all over the lansdcape, to the point that it becomes the primary ingredient or driver, echo chambers (preferably politically active ones with detailed misson statements,) are a valuable fall-back to escape all of the white noise and to really discuss perspective on just how badly society is crumbling.

 

[Larsky]

I won't opine on moderation, or lack thereof.

But you left yourself subject to sanction.

Move on.

So when's the last time you were booked on "smutty" cable news to give opinions and ask the questions? And had an ACTUALLY balanced panel of participants?

We are smuttier than we NEED to be. If folks would discuss HONESTLY and with a little ACTUAL EFFORT -- would be the BEST of media as a whole.

Dreaming? Yeah, kinda. But you CAN teach old trolls new tricks. Unless they slept thru K-12. We've had some 15 yrs old on here that could that.
