Tucker Carlson attempts to convince the audience at CPAC that the New York Times actually cares about the accuracy of its news, but the audience isn't buying it. He also says that the conservative movement needs its own news gathering organizations who will create news that reflects its values and wishes there were twenty-five outlets like the Fox News Channel.

25 Fox news organizations. God help us all.

Saying that newspapers have a liberal bias is just a way for conservatives to ignore facts that don't mesh with their ideology. As long as you stay off the editorial pages, you're not going to see any left-wing "bias" anyway.

@martinez85 Let me rephrase for you because I understand some of Tucker's ecentric nature as a libertarian myself. Good reporters go out and get the news themselves and then back it up to prove it is true. Tucker has a website called The Daily Caller you should check it out. They do reporting on there.

@adelelles You have a problem with Carlson being a libertarian?

@hoodoo961 You understand that Tucker Carlson is a libertarian? I used to hate hiim but I listen to him more and he seems like a stand up guy compared to the Philistines in the room. To a lot of them if you are not right you are evil. That doesn't sit right with me and I hope not with Tucker.

@adelelles I'm a Paulite and I like Tucker. What are you referring to?

[adelelles]

Tucker exposed himself as the toolbag that he is by messing up Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic. The man is a CLASSLESS PUNK.

if you watch msnbc you'll see conservative shows, progressive shows and by the late evening the liberals take over. each show has the fact checkers, political analyst, and real economist (except morning joe). in between each show you have the standard non partisan news. fox pushes far right false, partisan, hate and fear mongering rhetoric 24 hours a day, 7 days a weak. its no wonder old white voters are brainwashed into thinking obama stole their country and wants to kill them.

funny haha he means they our the ones that find the news and do journalism and others just piggyback and use thier stories to comment on.. and generally its true fox is always the first to find new stories

[fisharecoming]

gimmie some examples please

I'm picking my bets so I don't have time, but you all should know that I've identified 3 concrete markers that indicate he does not believe, and can list examples, of facts that directly counter his claims.

A 4th one might be the fact that he is delivering a defensive message with a demeanor of a person who has made an exciting discovery.

"what, haha you don't believe me haha?"

a) he's indifferent to selling his point.

b) he knows that reality is in direct conflict with what he's "selling"
