1. I won't listen...

[irisblue]

2. as if Carlson was/is a useful species!

3. I stopped listening to NPR pundits. N/T

4. Cokie Roberts has been on forever. But Tucker Carlson?

Guess I haven't been paying attention lately, how long has he been a regular? Or did they just put him on once?

Cokie is normally predictably centrist (in DU lingo that's "right wing&quot , but that's her shtick. To me it's actually helpful to get that on NPR without having to go to the real right wing radio station and listen to the full frontal, unfiltered, batshit tripe. (Although I do that on occasion to find out what bogus arguments they're pushing this week.)

I can't for the life of me think of why they would want to put Tucker Carlson on, though.

7. Didn't hear it this AM, but my guess is...

that they couldn't get anyone else today.

Only Tucker had nothing else planned today.

5. Why would anyone hire bow tie boy?

He is a loud ignorant bully.

6. Cokie's gone rightish over the years, but Tucker Freaking Calson??????

[Orrex]

8. Yes, faithfully representing the views of the Right and the Far Right.

I have to admit that Tucker Carlson was as close to tolerable as I've ever heard him, in part due to the fact that he clearly doesn't like Trump.


Still, it would be nice if NPR made at least a half-assed effort toward a balanced presentation.

9. He's just returning to "help" that which paid to raise him

His father is the former head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Look it up, if ya wanna.

10. Some "listeners" complained that Cokie

was expressing a slightly Democratic bias, so she is being "balanced" now by a Publican.
