Where did I say Fox News wasn't corporate media? Where did I say I watch Fox news? 
Where did I every bring up 'Democrat' or 'Republican'?
This either-or type thinking is why the world has gone mad.

I never said that you said any of these things. 

Tucker Carlson was pushing the same views as Fox News, having been one of the biggest people on the network, that's why I brought up the comparison. 
That's specifically why I said: "You're not enlightened for believing in different corporate media outlets, and believing in different political leaders." as generically as I could.

Sure, I'm no history buff, I'm just asking questions. I'm pretty skeptical of any news organizations or any politician these days.

But this reminded me of Norm MacDonald's joke “It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?”

Then why aren't you skeptical of the reasons why Tucker Carlson is going there? Why is your skepticism seeming to be so one sided? This is a consistent issue that I have with these kinds of questions. They're so frequently directed one way, while pretending to be unbiased.

There are plenty of instances where the loser wrote history. For example, plenty of people believe false information about the confederacy.

Guys, this thread has derailed into the "Tucker Carlson thread" Can we please get back to the war in Ukraine, or special military operation if that's your TC/VP POV.

Carlson is a mouthpiece for Russia-Ukraine propaganda. It's fairly relevant.
