Tucker Carlson

On Wednesday morning, Real America's Voice broke a HUGE story.

Ed Henry and Karyn Turk, hosts of the popular morning show "American Sunshine" on Real America's Voice, reported on a new rule at Fox News: NEVER SAY "Tucker!"

It feels like a Harry Potter movie now... "He who MUST NOT be named."

"I want to quickly get to another point about Fox News," the host of the morning show said.

"So this gentleman, Chadwick Moore, used to be a frequent guest on Fox News Channel, but he decided to write a biography on Tucker. Right? And when Tucker was there, they were like, oh, yeah, carte blanche, we'll do interviews. We'll do it now. Then they fired him (Tucker). They don't want him (Chadwick). So they canceled an appearance the other night. There was a big hullabaloo, and he revealed that they had a new policy over there...

... He says, so they reversed that policy, and they're going to allow you on if you have a non-Murdoch book. But then he's saying that insiders at Fox News are telling him privately that all on-air talent have been banned from saying the name 'Tucker.'"

Sort of an interesting take on the idea that those you cannot criticize are those who are in control.

In this case, those who cannot be named publicly really have all the power...and the quislings know it!

From my childhood in the Eastern Bloc I remember a few "recalcitrant" artists being expelled to the West.

They were not ever mentioned again in any of the media, and all the movies or productions they had appeared in were buried.

Funny how history repeats ...

That's the tactic that authoritarian followers are always encouraged to use - memory-hole the person. Now, Twitter will manage his ass until he gives up and goes away there as well. It'll be interesting, though horrifying, to watch how that plays out. If they get away with getting everyone to accept their memory-hole ploy, the 'final solution' is the next logical step for the totalitarians who pull the strings from the background. They'll go as far as they can get away with going.

I experienced the memory-hole phenomenon, albeit on a much smaller scale. I worked at a place for 7 years and had a key position with a lot of responsibility. After I was fired over resistance to the masking authoritarianism over a year ago, only one person ever tried to contact me. I've often wondered if I ran into one of my former co-workers on the street whether they'd just pretend not to see me. I think that's likely. People are much more afraid of social opprobrium than they are of a virus, and that fact is taken full advantage of.

What if somebody named Tuck Tucker committed a crime? Or a chick named Emily Tucker Johnston made a speech worth sharing?

Could they not name the perpetuator of the crime nor the one who made the speech?

Banning words has got to be the pinnacle of woke stupidity.

Tis the opposite of news.

woke = contradiction

awake = breathing

tucking something is to put the goods somewhere tight!

eff the wokesters - dimwits one and all...

Buffalo_Ken - ps - I cay this for sure - there are fine looking Emily Tucker's on FB....I mean really....I made up the name and so then I searched it and here is the link for that:

[Link]
I clicked on none of the links - not one click further, but apparently there are many Emily Tucker's out there....some of like to be revealing and some of them seem like they are trying to present themselves for something....but whatever....banning names is stupid.

Buffalo_Ken - ok what the hell - it is cloudy Sunday....how about poem?

~

Emily Tucker was one mean trucker babe

she took no slack from her boyfriend Tuck

they weren't married - they just shared a name

~

One time tuck said to emily

do you want to do it in the truck baby

Emily glanced, but didn't smile

and fuck you tuck is what she whispered

that was the last time tuck asked that question

but I can report tuck got his desire eventually.

~

So ends the story of Emily Tucker and her boyfriend Tuck.

Tuck was a fine strong lad and

Emily Tucker - don't you just want to **** her!

~

End of Poem

So FOX news is all Tuckered out eh?

Buffalo_Ken · 2023-06-04T20:35:10Z

sbc - so tuckered they are afraid to even say that on air. Lest they don't abide the banned word.

By the way, in the poem above - the word I had in mind was tuck.

This was apparent on the very Monday he disappeared. Knowing how disgusting the media, including Fox management, is, I wondered if any discussion would be allowed and figured no way. I was right, unfortunately. His replacement HAD to say something, since he was there and Tucker wasn't. So, he said one or two sentences, something like, "Tucker is no longer here, now on with the rest of the show". That was it. No word from Hannity. Or Laura. Or Gutfeld or any of his supporting cast. How lame and castrated these hosts should feel! Biggest story going on by far and they can't say a word. I haven't watched Fox since, and won't, ever.
