Tucker Carlson Has A News Website Going Up

If you're unfamiliar with Mr. Carlson, here he is, in all his glory.

Now, I don't know if any of you are familiar with The Huffington Post, but I'm not. So here we go:

The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005, as a commentary outlet and liberal alternative to conservative news aggregators like the Drudge Report, and has expanded to cover news of politics and many other things.

So there's that. However, Bush is now out of office, and that means that there's room for another blog page:

Carlson will launch TheDailyCaller.com, which he said would focus on reporting on the Obama administration and "adding facts to the conversation."

"We are a general-interest newspaper-format style site," Carlson told conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday. "There just aren't enough people covering this administration and telling the people what's going on."

Carlson, a former conservative and libertarian pundit (most notably on CNN), touted his site as a home for basic reporting.

"Tell the truth, and be accurate," Carlson said of the venture's goals. "It's very important to live up to the basic standards of journalism."

Carlson said that the site's reporters would share in the profits based on how much traffic is drawn in by their work. He said the site would seek to "drive" the news, similar to the Drudge Report, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, and other major news outlets. (The site's motto, Carlson said, is "every seven minutes," and seeks to be "even faster than Drudge.")

He also said that the site would not be a discussion forum for the future of the Republican Party, though he said there would be opinion journalism on the site. (Fellow right-leaning pundit David Frum had launched a site for that purpose earlier this year.)

"It will not be a forum for discussing the future of the Republican Party," Carlson explained. "There are forums for that conversation. I'm interested in that conversation, but it will not take place in our site."

And we also have an interview transcript, where he says:

Tucker: Creating original content is the whole point. We think we've found a way to make reporting profitable for everyone involved. Probably an overstatement to claim we're going to save journalism, but I think it will help, maybe a lot.

...I don't think any of this bodes well.

You misspelled Fucker.

Is he going to tell us all what he thinks about the French?

Well how would YOU save journalism without doing that?

Quote:

"There just aren't enough people covering this administration and telling the people what's going on."

So, the entire USA Media outlet, plus at least SOME (if not most) TV stations and Web outlets in the globe just aren't enough?

I hear that sentence and i hear "There is a lot of people covering Obama but nobody is saying what i want to hear"... Then again, Fucker Carlson's "Journalism" and "Political view" are just one step down from bad Twilight fanfiction... so...

i really can hardly wait to see how the Dailyshow and the Colbert Report will touch this, it's the best part of this whole crap...

Step Two: Repeat Step One

First step is to punch Fucker in the face.

"Yeah, it'd be absurdly hubristic to announce that we're going to singlehandedly save journalism; after all, we can't be everywhere at once. We're only going to mostly save journalism. You can thank us later." http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...icons/smug.gif

Not to say I advocate illegal activities, but things like this and Conservapedia make a tempting case for DDoS attacks.

Or at least installing mandatory home systems on every computer that send a boxing glove in the user's face every time they visit this kind of site. I'd also like to make a mandatory hat for the people who MAKE this kind of site that does the same thing every time they open their mouths, but then you have to screw it into their skulls and waste government money on the surgeries, and then SOMEONE is bound to feel sorry for them and complain, and it's just more effort than it's worth.

I don't get it whats so bad about this? I don't know anything about American politics.

Is it not normal for one side to cover what the other side is doing? Is Obama liberal or conservative? Genuinely I don't know.

We aren't mocking him because it's one side covering what the other is doing, something perfectly normal. We're mocking him because Tucker Carlson is an ignorant jackass who really doesn't need his own website. Also, Obama is liberal.
