  • TUCKER CARLSON TO SAVE THE INTERNET: Check it out, a fancy new clicky-clicky! “Pundit Tucker Carlson publicly announced Tuesday that a right-leaning news site resembling the Huffington Post he’s been planning will go live within weeks … ‘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.’” Doesn’t making something explicitly “right-leaning” or “left-leaning” in and of itself make it impossible to be an important journalistic news site? Anyway Tucker’s thing will be called hcsfjm.com. [The Hill]

For a second I thought it said “Pandit Tucker Carlson” and that he was going to take his jazz-bow over to the Subcontinent and inflict his prissy solecisms on unsuspecting Indians.

A right-wing HuffPost — brilliant! Why didn’t somebody think of that already….Wait, what?

SayItWithWookies May 26, 2009 at 6:30 pm

“There just aren’t enough people covering this administration and telling the people what’s going on.”
Translation: “There are still some facts that can be heard over the right-wing temper tantrum. I intend to fill that gap with my foppish preppy inanity.”

shortsshortsshorts May 26, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Like everything else in Tucker’s life, it will likely fail before it even starts.

4tehlulz May 26, 2009 at 6:33 pm

It’s nice to see Tucker failing in media other than TV.

Dave J. May 26, 2009 at 6:33 pm

This will go about as well as that right wing version of the Daily Show that FOX ran for about 2 weeks last year.

They can’t read, you bowtied retard. That’s why they get all their news-porn and pseudo-political screaming from talk radio and Fox (and Lou Dobbs). They only use the intertubes and print media for porn (Malkin), pedophile support sites (Free Republic), humor written by fat children at a 4th grade reading level (The Corner), and crypto-communist sites that take advantage of their illiteracy to drive traffic (RedState, natch). If they wanted intelligent written commentary… hmmm… no, I can’t think of any logical conclusion to that sentence.

randomsausage May 26, 2009 at 6:52 pm

Since Tucker straddles the great divide between populist right-wing douchebaggery and what’s left of the intellectual conservatism, that should mean his web-site gets around 40 hits a day.

slavojzizek May 26, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Doesn’t making something explicitly “right-leaning” or “left-leaning” in and of itself make it impossible to be an important journalistic news site?

NO. That’s just something silly you’re taught in American journalism school. It’s partly why American journalism usually sucks. Not being explicit about which way you are leaning often just means taking too seriously whoever is in power.

problemwithcaring May 26, 2009 at 7:06 pm

[re=324973]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: I’m hoping he will have a Daily Show watchdog column similar to HuffPost’s Palin watch. And, of course, that it will provide the thread for it’s inevitable undoing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every time some pompous ass right wing retard starts a blog, they have to announce to anyone stupid enough to listen that it will be the next Kos or Huffington or lefty blog du jour. Kind of like Pajamas et al tried to do. Where are they all today?

Helloooooo. Is anyone there?

Tucker’s web-site is going to be called hisgism.com?

President Beeblebrox May 26, 2009 at 7:31 pm

If he needs a URL, I heard Lemonparty.org was still available…

So if this is going to be like HuffPo, will it basically be a website containing a couple of squishy semi-conservative articles larded with links to AP, AFP, and UPI stories that make it seem like TuckPo is doing its own reporting?

sarcasticusername May 26, 2009 at 7:54 pm

“tell the truth & be accurate,” two things tucker carlson has never done in his entire life. no doubt this will be yet another successful wingnut venture.

Neilist May 26, 2009 at 8:02 pm

The words “pundit” and “Tucker Carlson” really do not belong in the same sentence.

Unlike, say, the phrases “anal rape victim” and “Tucker Carlson.”

Or “simpering fratboy dweeb” and “Tucker Carlson.”

Or “fire five shots into his head, it’s still only misdemeanor assault” and “Tucker Carlson.”

DC Hates Me May 26, 2009 at 8:03 pm

“”We are a general-interest newspaper-format style site”, Carlson told conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday.”

I take it that Tucker needs someone else is going to run it?

I believe fembottomwithbowtie.org may still be available. Ilovespoogeinmyfratboymouth.org is probably not taken either. Also

JMP May 26, 2009 at 8:14 pm

If it’s a right-wing Huffington Post, will it feature an ugly, hard-to-navigate interface, and consist of a combination of copied wire service stories and analysis pieces that give basically the same information as on other conservative blogs, only with poorer writing from C-list Hollywood celebrities? Hm, but Big Hollywood already provides all that.

I hope it has a humor section like HuffPo (that isn’t funny at all, except for the dickpedia part). I’m not sure I’ve encountered any side splittingly funny right-leaning humor before. They usually think its funny to joke about people not like them.

By the way, Joe the Plumber’s blog has gone into free fall, mostly with posts about “where did everybody go?”. Joe himself hasn’t updated since the tea bagging, somehow ignoring the whole “keep the queers away from my children” and “I’m quitting the GOP” quotes*
