Don the Lemon. Tucker gone; AOC and Jen Psaki stay: America's IQ just tumbled some more.

Psaki Lets AOC Claim Tucker Incites Violence, Regulate TV News | Newsbusters  . . ."After AOC said that, Psaki refused to push back on her false claims and totalitarian calls for regulation of an independent news organization. Instead, Psaki simply moved on to another topic and let AOC's comments sit with the audience.". . . 

The anti-white vitriol from Joy Reid, however, is just fine. One has to fear for this once-great country and the wisdom we seek from our people and the news media. American voters once came out in droves to listen to political debates over national affairs in person.


AOC accuses Tucker Carlson of ‘very, very clearly’ inciting violence, flaunts her stunning ignorance of government regulation - American Thinker  "It will surprise absolutely no one who reads American Thinker to learn that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is utterly ignorant on a topic she discussed in an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC and that she flung baseless serious charges at a leading conservative while offering no evidence whatsoever.

"Pam Key of Breitbart took one for the team and watched the entire 17-and-a-half-minute interview, so you don’t have to endure the flaming idiocy.  Here are the key words:". . .

. . ."As a lawmaker, Ocasio-Cortez ought to know that Fox News is not broadcast television. It is distributed via cable, satellite, and streaming services. It has no FCC licenses the way that terrestrial broadcast stations, such as those carrying NBC programming, do. This is elementary and fundamental to understanding the video business and has been the case since the dawn of cable television. It boggles the mind that someone so frequently appearing on television screens would not grasp this basic point.

"And the fact that Jen Psaki, who has the experience that should have informed her of this elementary distinction, let the misinformation be spread on her program is appalling. Where are the purported “misinformation experts” denouncing this and calling for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to censor Psaki?". . .

First Bongino and now Carlson.

AOC Wants the Federal Government to Censor Tucker Carlson (townhall.com)  "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told MSNBC host Jen Psaki she believes the federal government needs to start censoring hosts on Fox News for incitement for events like the Capitol riot on January 6.". . .

Well, the teenybopper got her way: Tucker Carlson Leaving Fox News, Last Show Was Friday (tampafp.com)   . . ."Carlson joined Fox News in 2009 as a political analyst. He launched his own show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, in 2016. The show is one of the most popular on Fox News, and Carlson is one of the most influential conservative voices in the United States.

"Carlson is a controversial figure. He has been criticized for his often inflammatory rhetoric, his promotion of conspiracy theories, and his attacks on immigrants, women, and minorities.

"He is also a popular figure among many conservatives, who admire his willingness to speak his mind and challenge the status quo."

Tucker Carlson Out At Fox News – Deadline  "Carlson’s exit comes less than a week after Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle the election software company’s defamation claim. Carlson was to be among the witnesses to testify if the case had come to trial.

"A Fox News spokesperson declined to comment on what triggered Carlson’s exit. A host for tonight’s Fox News Tonight has not yet been named."

Don Lemon on Twitter: "https://t.co/8PyLqvS0d7" / Twitter  The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career at CNN. 

 Don Lemon fired from CNN following allegations he mistreated female colleagues - Akahi News  . . ."Also, earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air. 

"CNN CEO Chris Licht said that the network and Lemon have “parted ways,” according to a memo provided to NBC News Monday.

“ 'Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” the statement said. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

"Lemon has been with CNN since 2006, joining the network after anchoring at NBC Chicago and working as a correspondent for NBC News, the “TODAY” show and “NBC Nightly News.”

"Lemon first came under fire in February during a segment on “CNN This Morning” in which he remarked that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, was no longer in her “prime.” The comment was made while discussing a suggestion by Haley that candidates over the age of 75 should be subjected to mental competency exams.

“ 'Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry,” Lemon said. “When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.”

"When pushed by co-anchor Poppy Harlow, Lemon told her not to “shoot the messenger.”

"Licht told employees that Lemon agreed to partake in training following public backlash to his comments. He also told Semafor earlier this month that both CNN and Lemon have “moved on” from the issue."  Akahi News, Nigeria.
