      Many people, including myself, took Tucker Carlson's account of a protest at his house at face value. That was a mistake. This is an important thread.https://twitter.com/DrRJKavanagh/status/1061484728652570624 …

      Rebecca Kavanagh @DrRJKavanagh
      One last point on the Tucker Carlson protest, you don't wanna believe the protestors, why not go with the police version of events? Cause there is a police report. I'm gonna say that's a more reliable source than Mr. Carlson. And it completely contradicts him. Here goes.

      Yeah, I assumed he wouldn't have lied about the details because there would *absolutely* be a police report and, well, what kind of idiot would you have to be to give a story that would be surely refuted by the police. Well, now we know.

      That was my assumption as well -- that he wouldn't lie about something with documentary evidence.

      Tucker lied about Roma people pooping in the street.

      Yeah, but that sort of racist lying (common enough on Fox) seems a little bit different than lying about something that happened to you (where revelation of the lie would hurt your personal credibility).

          I guess I’m disturbed that a professional racist liar had so much personal credibility for so many members of the media in the first place. And how muted the response to his lies being revealed has been

          There used to be a taboo against obvious, checkable lies. Even 'wingers would phrase things carefully to mislead rather than lie. Trump has demolished that taboo.

          This kind of easily checkable lie is Tucker's way of taking sides between the media and Trump. He deliberately burned what little credibility he had left in the MSM in order to prove what a good Trumpster he is.

          Carlson has been a loon for years. Have you ever read anything from that rag he started, The Daily Caller? And then remember how he used to wear BOW TIES all the time? Madness.

          Right. He can rant about gypsy hordes or Hollywood making you gay or whatever on the show and back off, as they often do, to a stance of "well, I'm just passing along other people's assertions." This lie is his own. And it's going to burn him pretty bad, I think.

          You're just saying you didn't think he'd lie to YOU because you thought YOU mattered more than the people he does lie to, which is usually us.
