Fox News Host Falls Asleep On Air (VIDEO) By Huffington Post | 08/31/2013 2:17 pm EDT Here's Tucker Carlson, dozing off live on television. Unless it was a weird joke? But it doesn't seem like it, since he keeps asking if he's really on TV. You're really on TV, Tucker. See video: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...ls-asleep-fox-friends_n_3848571.html?ir=Media. ..... IMO: This is the best thing that has happened to Tucker in years. He is showing us that his dialogue is so boring that it puts even himself to sleep. It must have given Fox News a wake-up call in how choosing their guests can be very important for the success of their show when the host falls asleep. If they keep getting hosts and guests that keep falling asleep during the prime news of the day, then they deserve the poor ratings they get. Either you are newsmen, or entertainers; old Tucker is neither. He should really be a bank associate manager; that would fit his persona, his life long quest for being around money, and his personality.
LOL! I was asked to appear on Fox and friends a few years ago when we were all fighting against mandatory vaccinations for healthcare workers. They wanted to pick me up by limo at 4am! Now I'm a night shift worker and I thought that was crazy. Unfortunately I was working that night and my buddy took my place and went on live TV instead. In short getting up that early is not fun. I'd rather be up for 24+ hours straight then sleep 8 hours than only get a few hours of sleep before work.
Well going there gave me another look at my girl Megyn Kelly. Can hardly wait till she comes back and takes over one of the prime time spots next to Reilly and Hannity. The Irish take over Fox.
Tucker use to be thoughtful, he had a good conservative perspective show on PBS back in the day. Today is has written himself into the angry white guy persona.
"In total viewers for the quarter, Fox News (1.18 million) nearly outdrew its three news competitors combined in total-day averages (CNN’s 476,000, HLN’s 393,000 and MSNBC’s 361,000). And in primetime, where “The O’ Reilly Factor” remains the dominant program, FNC (2.21 milion) did outperform the combined average viewership of CNN (733,000), MSNBC (660,000) and HLN (569,000)." Wake up pal.
That viewership will only get larger as soon as Megyn Kelly joins prime time. She is beautiful, smart and can dish it out as well as take it. Smart move by Fox.
Agreed, I really really like her and her stances. Big fan of when hosts play devils advocate so you can see the two sides. I always saw her as someone who did this successfully
Agreed. A brilliant move by RA! The only reason HLN had any viewers was b/c they ran the Zimmerman fraud 24/7. Now that bit of red meat the 'OJ jurors' loved to chew on is gone HLN is back to running shows 'more to the viewers' taste. ie 'prison shows' b/c most of them have either been in prison, are in prison or are eventually on their way to prison. These 'prison shows' MSNBC runs during prime time are sort of like 'info-commercials' for 'Sandals' except there aren't any 'snow-bunnies' in white bikinis to watch. Just your average 300 pound 'Bull Dyke' cell mate who likes to 'get married' a couple of times a week. Foods not the same either. LOL
For starters it was a LIB here who started ther thread in some sort of lame swipe at TC. Then another LIB took a swipe at Tucker for pretending to be sleeping. Then some other put up photos of HC and the drunk (I can't remember his name). Then I put up rating FACTS proving FOX craps bigger than all the LIB cable networks FOR YEARS! When MK returns on FOX prime time watch the likes of Matthews, Madcow, Sharpton, ODonnel,Hayes etc etc. spend the next few months basically running 'info-mercials' for Megan. They're so stupid they don't and have never realized that every time they attempt to trash FOX they encourage more and more of their 'OJ jury' base to go to FOX to have a look see and some always stay. And that my friends is why FOX continues to dominate and ALL the LIB cable networks are failing. As they say: "You can't fix stupid".
Yep. . .it's easy to stay "tuned in" to Fox if you're dozing off and need a reminder of what day it is. . .Fox is perfect for the angry White, Male, over 65!
Maybe it's just the fact that Fox has a monopoly on the demographic interested in seeing fundamentalist propoganda on TV. Maybe it's the fact that Fox "news" is just a facet of the GOP, which has made it very clear that they want to keep people as stupid and uneducated as possible. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/08/media_matters_to_run_ad_toutin.html http://www.freewoodpost.com/2012/03/13/fox-news-classified-satire-by-fcc/ http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/11/us-usa-budget-funding-idUSTRE74A6GC20110511 http://inequalitiesblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/does-college-make-you-liberal/ http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/04/opinion/sunday/college-doesnt-make-you-liberal.html?_r=0 As you pointed out, "you can't fix stupid". http://www.businessinsider.com.au/proof-republicans-really-are-dumber-than-democrats-2012-5
