Did Tucker get threatened by his network?

Question

I just heard him dogging Ron Paul on a clip from the Bill Maher show!

Well he kinda pissed me off...I wrote him a pretty nasty letter. I don't understand how he can call him his hero one day and then dog him the next!

Yah, I know..but I am really feeling a little crazy lately...he might have well said.."Let's all stop pretending to care about our Constitution" Because the things he wants to do away with are unconsitutional...I mean it is not like he wants to be President to get his own way! We ask him to take an oath to uphold our Constitution and then when he wants to our mainstream media calls him a kook! WTF!

Answer 1

Don't let the little things make you go crazy. Tucker is just another face in this wonderful world of politics.

OK, I watched the show. I can't really say he was bashing Ron Paul himself. He stated that he likes Ron Paul and voted for him in 88. Which of course I assume was when he was running for the Libertarian Party. However when he made that statement "let's stop pretending to like Ron Paul," in my opinion, he was basically addressing that towards Bill and his other guest, because he knows for a fact that they do not support him in majority of the issues. So, I wouldn't take it to heart if I were you. Sometimes people say things on the urge of the moment and don't mean to say it in such a way. However I'm not trying to defend Tucker. I'm not really bothered by it. He gave Ron great respect when interviewing him which very few people in the media have done. I think Tucker just understands that their praises are complete BS and they would never vote for him.
-Hope that helps.


Response: That is understandable. As for the Kook, Tucker knows that this is the view of many democrats and republicans that do not support Ron Paul. So when a Liberal show like Bill Maher talks about him with praises he knows they believe he won't have a chance. However when you persecute someone based on your own opinion for what he meant, it's no different from Fox and others to persecute Ron Paul, telling them that he thinks America deserved 9/11. Even though that was not his intention at all.
Tucker doesn't hate Ron Paul and just because he states things that many Ron Paul supporters don't agree with, doesn't mean he won't support him.

Listen closely to Tuckers statement you can tell that there is sarcasm in some of what he says. When Bill Maher agrees with Tucker that he doesn't agree with Ron on many issues, Tucker respondes by saying "I do." Like I said, I don't believe he was bashing Ron, he was stating the obvious opinions coming from the left.

Answer 2

Tucker Carlson? He's a traditional conservative, not a neocon, but he's no libertarian, that's why he dogs Ron Paul. I don't think MSNBC is anti-Paul in the way that Fox News obviously is. When he was talking to Chris Matthews, I thought Matthews was pretty fair to him. I think even Keith Olbermann had him on and Olbermann was pretty fair to him.

Answer 3

Politics do intervene with media and Tucker could have been influenced.
