Carlson visits Julian Assange

[phildwyer]

The first MSM figure to visit Assange for years.

You, Tucker and Julian.

The Christmas gift that keeps giving…

No-one else from the MSM will go near him, cowardly scum that they are.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Carlson and Assange, I would rather poke my eyes out with a blunt stick,

Because the MSM tells you to hate them. What has Assange done to displease you?

 

[A380]

No-one else from the MSM will go near him, cowardly scum that they are.

Or perhaps they don't want to give a platform to a rapist who hid in a stationery cupboard for years to run down the clock on a rape investigation and so avoid the consequences of him being a rapist? Perhaps?

Carlson isn't 'from MSM' anymore, even Fox News decided he was too much of a cunt to have on-air.

I see by your laughing emoji response that you find rape funny. No great surprise there.

He was fired by Fox for opposing the Ukraine war.

I disapproved of him strongly from the beginning when Wikileaks outed and endangered intelligence assets. Hope his extradition to the US finally goes through (Assange’s, not Phil’s).

See, now that's a principled position. I can understand imperialists and war-mongers hating Assange, he was a serious threat to their nefarious plans. That makes sense to me. What I don't understand is twits who think they're on the left but still hate Assange. That's the veritable apotheosis of stupidity imho.

This is the first interview with Assange for years.

This link seems only to TC's pre-amble not to the interview itself.

Can anyone share the link to the actual TC Assange interview?

I think you have to "Join Team Tucker," which I just did. I'll try to summarize it in a bit.

I can only hope that Dwyer has been catfished by Todd Carty.

You mean Phil hadn’t actually watched the video he posted a frothing link to? Say it isn’t so?

 

[phildwyer]

So Carlson interviews Assange's wife on the prison bus as they go to visit him in Belmarsh. They go inside to see him, but no cameras allowed. Then they come back and talk about him. Obviously just a teaser, a rip-off really, better than nothing I suppose.

So, you start a thread with a video saying it's Carlson interviewing Julian Assange, then you actually watch it, and find it isn't, and edit the title and OP.

<slow hand clap, you waste of oxygen.>

I note he’s edited the original post to change it from a breathless ‘ first interview in years’ to ‘visit’. Fortunately the original post is quoted in weltweit contribution.

I didn’t realise Phil was such a rapist fanboy that he’d post a link to a video without even bothering to watch it first. But that’s my fault, it’s obvious in retrospect.

veritable apotheroseisisis of a dafty

I can never work out the conspiracy nuts take on the MSM. They whine like fuck when some minor story is perceived as being ignored by them (it often isn't) but then whine even louder when the MSM does cover their pet topic but fails to fall in line with their loonspud hot take on the subject.

You were certainly suckered into starting a thread on a video you hadn't even bothered to watch first.

He didn’t ‘do his own research’…

A week to go and this has got to be a contender for thread of the year.

It’s the “ veritable apotheosis of stupidity”…

Nothing to do with racism, sexism or antisemitism then?

Oops, meant to post this hours ago before I went out but never hit send, the thread's certainly taken an entertaining turn since then:

See, now that's a principled position. I can understand imperialists and war-mongers hating Assange, he was a serious threat to their nefarious plans. That makes sense to me. What I don't understand is twits who think they're on the left but still hate Assange. That's the veritable apotheosis of stupidity imho.

I mean, if nothing else, for those of us on the left who are opposed to the Republican Party, Assange's deliberate cooperation with the Trump campaign would be a bit of a dealbreaker. I suppose if you're already a Trump supporter then that's just another tick in the plus column though.
Also, posted this before, but I think this interview with Jeremy Hammond is a pretty vital perspective, relevant bit is from about 1:21 onwards:

Episode 2 – Grand Jury Exposed – Twin Trouble

Fuck no! He got the boot because his election bullshit almost cost fox a billion $...

Someone put this thread in Christmas quarantine

 

[singsongfun]

What is the appeal of Assange to his wife?
She is an intelligent woman, a lawyer. What the fuck was she thinking ?
