    There is an entire cottage industry within media dedicated to disseminating Tucker Carlson’s nightly Fox News musings to presumably liberal audiences who may not be tuning in to hear what the leading conservative voice is telling his large following.

    But recent data from Nielsen MRI Fusion suggests those nightly dispatches may not be necessary: In October, the most recent month for which data is available, Carlson’s 9 p.m. ET program was the top cable news show among Democrats in the advertiser-coveted age range of 25-54.

    In total-day viewership, Fox News grabbed 42% of Democrats aged 25-54, CNN nabbed 33% and MSNBC got 25%.

    This proves liberals like to see both viewpoints.

    More likely they have changed their viewpoint which is why CNN and MSNBC have tanked losing over 80% of their viewership in the last 8 months.

    It proves nothing of the sort as one of defining character of progressivism (liberalism doesn't exist anymore) is a rejection of all other viewpoints. What you're seeing here is an amount of non-prog Democrats peeking over the fence because they're starting to wonder why everything they were told is turning out to be an undeniable lie that they can no longer blindly accept.

    Perhaps liberals don't have as much to be outraged about at the moment... It's not like Fox viewers tune in for news.

    Actually no. Progressivism is the idea that society must adapt by being tolerant of different viewpoints ultimately leading to change. Conservatism on the other hand is the belief that what has been should always be. So which one do you think satisfies your idea of rejecting opposing viewpoints?

    BS. I'm amazed that the left-wing can't even define progressivism anymore cause they rely heavily on the internet and pseudo-academics. Progressivism is the attempts to better the human lot through large-scale social endavours—typically directed by the State, but often not (Tolstoy, Anarchists, Hippies etc). It is an endless conitunuum of ideologies and beliefs that attempts to create harmony through pervasive social control, and it is not distinct from left and right ideologies. Progressivism usually halts when factors outside ones borders prevents progress, and this is where Globalism enters the picture. Thus, it will often lead to war if one has a radical progressive position. Famous Globalists include Napoleon (Revolutionary Dictatorship) and Adolf Hitler (Democratically Elected National Socialist). You can throw Marx, Lenin and Stalin into the mix. The idea all these people had was to have a world government that would operate under their state of influence.

    Conservatism and Liberalism as well as left and right have nothing to do with Progressivism. The opposite of progressivism is regressivism. Both are needed in certain situations. If a progressive policy is damaging society, regressive policies are needed to turn back to stasis. For example, not producing natural gas cause of a subjectively progressive policy that we must do everything, even stupid things, to combat global warming throughout the global has lead to a war in Ukraine, and an economic attack on our allies to the point where they had to capitulate on sanctions cause they NG and Oil.

    I actually feel bad for you. You take out student loans?

    A while back I started this thread. "Why would liberals hate Tucker Carlson?"

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/why-would-liberals-hate-tucker-carlson.597134/

    His general message is populist. He is anti war. He is constantly attacking mega rich elites. Libos who never watch his show pretend to be experts. Like Joy Behar.

    The libo posters here had no answer because they do not watch either. They had no clue what the thread was about.

    The key word here is liberal. Few democrats are liberal. they are totalitarian fascists.

    What a load of bs is this. As if democrats want to gas the Jews and erect statues of Stalin.
    You clearly got no clue what you're saying

    yes and no.
    The guy is against an open war with Russia, and so is against a no-fly zone that would about attacking the Russian air force and so attacking a nuclear power. In that perspective, it's actually Tucker who is agreeing with Biden on this of just sending in equipment. Tucker also implements the idea of these so called "secret biolabs". That idea of "secret biolabs" was used by Russia to claim these American funded research institutes are developing bio/chemical weapons to potentially used against Russia. And you can paraphrase this as a much needed pre-emptive attack to defend mother Russia from this kind of crap. And I do not think democrats support this viewpoint at all.

    No amount of your made up excuses changes the reality of the numbers.
    You just need to get used to it.

    Of course, People Also "need to get used to"...
    These FACTS (About Tucker Carlson):
    Surprise?
    Lolwut?
    Surprise?
    How so?
    The COMEDIC Entertainment Value of Watching a Mentally-Deranged Delusional Psychopath (like Tucker Carlson) Make a Complete Fool of Himself (by Spewing Imbeclic Tinfoil Hat Fantasies) on a Nightly Basis is Must-See TV.
    The Comedic Value is Off-the-Charts.
    And, America Needs The Laughs.
    The Only Real "Surprise" is that the Ratings for this Moronic Comedic Buffoon aren't higher.

    There is no obligation nor entitlement that simply holding an opinion is worthy of consideration or adaption. This isn't 5 year old soccer, and awarding trophies for stupid position is... well stupid.

    People that present stupid ideas should not be tolerated. They should be ignored.

    So where in your reply does is progressivism a complete rejection of opposing viewpoints. You are responding to something just to respond. I'm not sure how progressive policies have lead to a war in Ukraine. Is that what they teach you now these days LOL! You should demand a fund.

    The progressives here certainly reject all opposing viewpoints, usually with derision and name calling. You just completely rejected the viewpoint that progressive policies led to the war in Ukraine with derisive remarks.

    Perhaps there aren't as many actual liberals as they think. America is a center right country.

    Do you honestly have any clue what Tucker talks about on his show? Have you ever watched it for 2 minutes? I guess it is easier to just have Joy Behar or Brian Stelter tells you what to think.

    Tucker has not spent much time on bio labs. It is not like he talks about them every day but it is more than half your post. The Biden administration admits there are
    "biological research facilities" in Ukraine so it is not some conspiracy. I also find it interesting that what Victoria Nuland says here is not that different from what Tulsi Gabbard, excuse me lieutenant Colonel Gabbard said but Gabbard was accused to treason.

    Tbh, it's hard to watch his "show". I mean... he sometimes invites more left leaning people, who get the time to explain their point of view. But even before they get to say something, he already put up this fake facial expression of "wtf are you talking about, this doesn't make sense. I'm trying to concentrate but it's not helping, it's you"

    There is a difference between biological research facilities who do research against anything from random allergies or develop methods to inspect food for human consumption.... and research facilities who develop biological weapons. The Russian suggest there are dozens of facilities who do that military graded stuff funded by the west to potentially use it against Russia. These lies are used by Russia to sell the story that Russia has a right to defend themselves. And Tucker suggest there is a truth in such military graded biological research facilities which implies Russia has a right to attack Ukraine.

    You may have noticed that Russia has taking a bunch of towns and cities where the massacred civilians and raped loads of women. After a month of them war crimes, still not 1 bio weapon has been used against the Russians. The Russians also have not provided us from actual evidence they captured this. So at what point is it that you are going to judge that this is indeed total Russian BS.

    Tucker never said Russia has a right to attack Ukraine. You are lying. He has not spent a lot of time on biolabs either.

    You never watch the show and have no idea what you are talking about. If you have a hard time watching it is because he exposes your party's ideology and fascism.

    Uhh.. you are lying.
    I didn't say Tucker actually said that Russia has that right to attack Russia. He wrote he implied it it by parroting Russian propaganda that there are military graded biological research facilities. I guess you missed the shows where Tucker inserted those idea's.
