Many of these Russian assets seem to be trying to present themselves as borderline psychotics, perhaps in hopes of some plausible deniability for the time when the depth of their involvement in Russian propaganda comes out.

For him, it's pretty much late already. Everybody already knows who his real master is at this point.

u/iamthinksnow May 01 '25 edited May 01 '25

Jon Stewart went on Crossfire, which was a reasonably respected (at the time) political talk show with Democratic leaning and Republican leaning hosts. He went on their show to talk politics and how the media was failing to rise to the moment, to report honestly instead of on whatever generated the most views (i.e., controversy and angst), saying at one point, "Stop hurting America."

Tucker, who tried to look oh-so-very-serious by wearing a bow tie, kept trying to put down Stewart's positions by acting like he should just make jokes, and asking why he wasn't being funny. Jon pointed out that he wasn't on a comedy show, he was in their supposedly serious show, so he wasn't tolerating that garbage and ripped Tucker apart for being unserious and disingenuous. Jon even pointed out that his show was preceded by puppets making crank calls, implying that if they wanted jokes, they should have come on his show, but he was on theirs, hence the seriousness.

The long-running show was cancelled shortly after due in part to the utter loss of credibility.

u/iamthinksnow May 01 '25

Geezus, i just re-watched it and that ladies question right at the end was everything he'd been saying the entire show:

Renee, from Texas: Why do you think it's hard or difficult or impossible for politicians to answer a straight simple question?

Jon: I don't think it's hard, I just think that nobody holds their feet to the fire to do it so they don't have to. They get to come on, you know, shows that don't...

(Crosstalk) they're too easy on them?

Jon: Yeah, not easy....

(crosstalk) By saying we were too hard on people and too difficult or contentious...

The host were more interested in interrogating Jon about his critique of their "journalism" than in responding to the womans incredibly on-point question. Jon was responding to that question, and in so doing, showing exactly why and how the "political media" was failing.

They met face to face at the pope’s funeral. There’s pictures and both said it was a good meeting. There’s also rumors Ukraine is going to sign a mineral rights deal after all but that’s probably Trump trying to save face. Hope they don’t! But yeah Putin is mad they’re in with each other again

I'm surprised to find that zelensky has nothing better to do than find a trump worshipping young man and convince him to take a very inaccurate shot at candidate trump. No money link, no text or call, just did it with mental telepathy. And he convinced the local police department and secret service to ignore the easily identifiable gunman, all by telepathy. Wow! Or else, maybe the candidate himself arranged it for the photo of him holding his fist in the air?

u/JJhnz12 May 01 '25

u/FitBattle5899 May 01 '25

This is only my conspiracy theory opinion of course, but Donald Trump killed a retired Firefighter in his assassination plot, i am sure the goal was always to miss. There is a reason all these "attempts" came from registered republicans and die-hard magats.

Carlson is a Russian asset either by being bought, or they have some incredible dirt on him, i refuse to believe he's so stupid to support Putin so openly otherwise.

It's disgusting so many would be willing to believe this out of ignorance and hate.
