Tucker Carlson is excellent thus it doesn't surprise me that liberals don't want to be challenged on his show. They often can't defend their position and he exposes that. They don't want to look silly on national television

Tell me again how awesome Tucker Carlson is, haha.

Jon Stewart exposed him so completely as the hack that he is. Even more than a decade later it's still funny to watch him get eaten alive on national TV.

MSNBC? Isn't that "fakenews"?
I get confused which news sites are reputable... or is it an article by article status now?

MSNBC is very biased towards the left but they're not fake. That's why it is so incredible that they'd praise the guy from FoxNews who's killing their 9pm show in the ratings.

Why is that? Do you know who Joe Scarborough is? He's a conservative pundit.

The problem with TV news ratings is there are 3+ left leaning stations compared to the 1 right leaning stations
So you have the left diversifying their viewership across 3+ shows at a given time slot whereas the right all focus in on 1 channel.

He's a centrist or maybe center left. He is the most conservative guy at MSNBC which is like picking the smartest Kardashian sister. Did you notice that several other people at MSNBC praised Carlson in that article?

My point is that I'm not the only one praising him. Even his competitors are doing so. His ratings are giving him the most praise

A conservative pundit competitor is praising the intellectual capabilities of Tucker Carlson. I'm so impressed and swayed by this argument. /s

You are correct that most of the stations lean left. I'm glad you admit that. Having established that fact, Tucker's ratings beat all three combined

Are you kidding? He's a former GOP House representative and he was approached by Republicans to run for the Senate in 2009. His first order DW-NOMINATE score is .712, which is extremely conservative. (a score of 1 is max conservative, a score of 0 is centrist, and a score of -1 is max liberal)

How far to the insane right does someone have to be where a former GOP congressman and potential GOP senator with a DW-NOMINATE score of .712 is 'center left'?
 
Do you

You do know he used to work at MSNBC right? People usually have respect for former colleagues.

He's drifted left in recent years. Conservatives don't claim him:

He calls himself a conservative but frequently bashes conservative principles and people. His stance on gun control shifted drastically and now Scarborough is a firm supporter of new laws restricting gun ownership. To be fair, he is the most conservative host and most conservative MSNBC commentator. Nonetheless, he is at best a centrist and at worst a center-left host but still not to the extreme left of other hosts such as Al Sharpton.

I really hope you cited "conservapedia" as a joke.

You cannot be seriously citing conservapedia. Although I don't think you meant to do it this is pretty illuminating. Now even former GOP congressmen and possible senate candidates with an extraordinarily conservative track record are 'centrist' or even center-left. That really shows just how far off the deep end to the right some people have gone.

You are forgetting the lastest conservative star on MSNBC, Greta Van Susteren.
