WOODSTOCK, ME — Political commentator Tucker Carlson sparked controversy this week when he welcomed Bigfoot onto his show to discuss how mind-controlling chemtrails are sprayed over the flat earth by the Jews.
Viewers were shocked to learn that not only was Bigfoot real, but that the popular cryptid had been following conspiracy news for decades. Carlson nodded along with his guest, genuinely interested in what it had to say about Ben Shapiro.
Bigfoot, who spoke with a series of unintelligible growls and whistles, was adamant that the Jews were behind the chemtrails and that it was all part of an elaborate scheme to make people falsely believe that the earth is round. Bigfoot, a self-proclaimed expert on chemtrails, also added that the moon landing was faked (because the moon is, in actuality, made of cheese) and that jet fuel can’t melt steel beams.
“So you’re saying Israel — who I have no real problem with by the way, like at all — is directly responsible for everything that is wrong with society today, and that it can all be linked to chemtrails?” Carlson said, seemingly pushing back on his guest before immediately reversing course and agreeing with everything that was said. “That’s a bold claim, and I have no reason to dispute it, of course, because it’s obviously true.”
The new episode of Carlson’s show garnered tens of thousands of views within hours of going live. Several viewers commented on how strange it was to have the first-ever sit-down interview with Bigfoot in history and not try to learn more about his guest. “They spent all their time talking about Israel,” commented @Abe333. “I wanted to hear more about Bigfoot.”
Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro blasted the interview as divisive. “I have no problem with Tucker interviewing Bigfoot. But to sit there and listen to Bigfoot lecture us on chemtrails when he has no firsthand experience is just ludicrous,” he said. “Bigfoot literally described planes as stone birds, and Tucker just nodded along. It’s hard for me not to believe Tucker agrees with him, and that he has no idea what airplanes are either.”
Go here to read the rest. Are we sure it wasn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene sporting a new hair do?
Shouldn’t the title read: Bigfoot And Liitlebrain?
Okay, I know everyone thinks that Congresswoman Greene is nuts, but there is such a corrupt wealthy class in California that runs everything, and controls everything, it’s not even funny at this point in time. Covid, PG&E, banks, the speed rail boondoggle, Hollywood, the trans movement, Governor Newsom’s deep and exstnsive Getty ties, that you can forgive us out here for the utter cynicism with which we approach politics and wealth. I give her a pass on this one.
The only pass Greene warrants is to the closest insane asylum.
We can’t try to out-nonsense the Democrats. This is a seller’s market for the truth. Porsche doesn’t introduce a line of low-end cars even though there’s a market for them. They produce the highest-quality product and keep their brand’s reputation intact.
Let’s be honest, you used to be able to get approximately the truth from mainstream sources, but that model doesn’t work any more. The current model is silos. You get nonsense from the mainstream, nonsense from the left, or truth mixed with nonsense from the right. The emerging model will be getting the most accurate information by curating sources. Tens of thousands of mini-silos. It’s high effort. Few second chances, no third chances. Share the sources you trust, and strongly distance yourself from the ones you don’t.

Depended on the issue.Reporters seldom had the skill set to explain, for example, economic phenomena. See Michael Crighton’s discussion of Gell Mann amnesia.
True. I was leaning on the word “approximately”. I’ve found that the better you know a topic, the worse the mainstream press coverage sounds to you. But that was by the old standards, when at least they were trying.
The picture reminds me of the Geico cave man commercials, especially the ad where the cave man was smarter than the shrink
