Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

[–] ExceedinglyPanWoofer@yiffit.net 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't kept up much with fucker "punchable face" Carlson but from what I've heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his "journalist" career

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

Please don't pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.

Definitely don't pity him. This cunt is responsible for people dying. I'm not being hyperbolic either.

No he isn't. If anything he's gone more Info Wars style.

twice a day! don't you dare take away that extra one from Fucker

He often presents populist ideas, even when they aren't in line with his normal rhetoric.

I think he does it to grab attention or appeal to people with that idea. He then spews a ton of well-polished half-truths and straight lies to make whatever point he was after in the first place.

It's not uncommon for anyone to agree with a sentence or two from him out of context, but in context, it's all garbage.

Seriously, it's "twice a day" - because a clock stuck on 1:13 will be right in the AM and PM.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

24hr format would be once a day. It's perspective all around

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’ve always countered the “broken clock” comments with “24-hour movement with perpetual calendar” but I get shoved in a locker when I do it

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because it's not where the colloquialism came from. It ignores the origins in deference to pedantry.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On an analog clock, pal. You know, 1-12. It's where the phrase comes from. Don't be an ass.

I'm not your pal, buddy!

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I did say at least once a day.

I don't want to presume Fucker is right more than that.
