    “Fox News host Tucker Carlson has said that after an entire day of searching online, he and his staff were unable to "locate the famous QAnon"

    "We spent all day trying to locate the famous QAnon, which, in the end, we learned is not even a website. If it's out there, we could not find it," he began.”

    “Then, we checked Marjorie Taylor Greene's Twitter feed because we have heard she traffics in disinformation, but nothing there," he continued. "Next, we called our many friends in the tight-knit intel community. Could Vladimir Putin be putting this stuff out there? The Proud Boys? Alex Jones?"

    https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-car...ing-locate-famous-qanon-found-nothing-1571524

    So in other words, Tucker is implying that OAnon doesn’t exist, isn’t the conspiracy source that many, including the FBI, see as a domestic threat

    Tucker knows this isn’t true, that QAnon does exist, and that many of his followers now will believe him and conclude that QAnon is fiction.

    The question becomes what does this say about Tucker’s honesty, or better yet, character, knowing he is deliberately misleading people regarding a serious event?

    I have never followed this stuff. Perhaps you can post the link that he couldn't find.

    Sure.

    FBI document warns conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat (yahoo.com)

    The FBI intelligence bulletin from the bureau’s Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019, describes “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists,” as a growing threat, and notes that it is the first such report to do so. It lists a number of arrests, including some that haven’t been publicized, related to violent incidents motivated by fringe beliefs.

    The document specifically mentions QAnon, a shadowy network that believes in a deep state conspiracy against President Trump, and Pizzagate, the theory that a pedophile ring including Clinton associates was being run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant (which didn’t actually have a basement).

    Tucker? The same person that his “news” organization argued, and I quote, the “general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary”.

    Basically he cannot be sued for libel because only a complete idiot would believe what he “reports” on.
    He is a grifter making a fortune from his entertainment show so I cannot slight him...
    I guess it says a ton about the people that quote him as a source however.

    Reminds me of Hunter Biden's laptop, either that or he is using the incorrect web search engine, or maybe he didn't realize they were offline. :)

    Lol.

    UPS says it lost the cache of documents that Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed would damage Biden's campaign (msn.com)

    UPS says it found the lost cache of documents that Tucker Carlson claimed would damage Joe Biden's campaign (msn.com)

    We're witnessing a mass hypnotic slightly delirious edge of your seats nationwide reality TV game show, with lots and lots of comic relief. I'm just stuck in smh mode.

    Tucker didn’t look very hard, all he had to do was go to QAnon anonymous and backtrack from there, but that is only a podcast, easy access if you want to get into it

    “As a conspiracy theory born out of the Web, it is not surprising that social networks have played a big role in QAnon’s evolution. Active and fast-growing QAnon- related communities have emerged not only on fringe plat- forms, but also on mainstream ones. In fact, most of the latter have banned QAnon-linked groups and content—Reddit in 2018, and Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube in 2020. However, these deplatformed QAnon communities resurface on other fringe platforms like Voat, and discussion on 4chan and 8chan/8kun remains active”

    I'd say he's an idiot, but I think he's smart enough to know he's being deliberately misleading. Anyone saying that the can't find information about Q is lying. Period.

    Agreed. He acts like an idiot. People like that for some reason.

    If this Q thing exists at all, it exists only in the minds of the liberal left; and that's a pretty deep well of nonsense.

    Again he is not an idiot, he knows what he is doing, there is a reason prior Top 40 AM disc jockeys turned themselves into millionaires preying on conservatives, just tell them what they want to hear, reinforce what they want to believe, Tucker is just following the model laid down by others before him

    Meanwhile, back here in reality . . .

    But don't let a silly thing like truth get in the way of a good fake argument.

    Appears we have a Tucker loyalist amongst us, seems the FBI disagrees with you, they have declared it a domestic terror threat, quite a declaration for something that you say is nonexistent

    Easy to understand, they like him because he tells them what they want to hear, he legitimizes the reality they want to believe whether it is true or not.

    He is a classic demagogue, making millions pimping hate and disunity

    I thought the FBI was still investigating the Russia collusion hoax and the Kavanaugh gang-rape victims. Are they now investigating letters of the alphabet?
