Help me out here. What part of "Fox News first argues that, viewed in context, Mr. Carlson cannot be understood to have been stating facts, but instead that he was delivering an opinion using hyperbole for effect" is a "talking point?"
What was Carlson actually stating, and what was the context? Obviously some people took it seriously, or it wouldn't have ended up in court.
> Obviously some people took it seriously, or it wouldn't have ended up in court.
Wait, you actually think he was sued by people who took his statements seriously (aka fans)? The people taking it seriously were likely misconstruing rhetoric in a literal sense. This happens quite a bit. Sometimes the rhetoric is out of line, sometimes not. One could argue that his meaning is clearly understood by fans, like a big inside joke, and that the ridiculous claims are just another form of entertainment.
That said, if you watch Tucker now you'll see that he's much more serious than when he was on Fox News. I don't think applying the results from that case in any way to his independent journalism makes sense.
You're missing out. He gets some VERY interesting interviews and asks the hard questions. I think he went kinda easy on SBF but that is probably because he didn't want to have SBF cut the interview short.
I have seen this as well. We have "DEI" officers, whatever that means, whose job seems to be solely to email us about things like whatever native land our company's buildings exists on.
I haven't been accused of being racist by anyone I know (especially not for pointing out a lack of diversity). I haven't experienced any Indian managers hiring their own, but I've only had one Indian manager. That isn't really a concern for me; small amounts of prejudice are to be expected, and if they grow to large-enough proportions they can be proven in court and adjudicated. What concerns me is a systemic trend to cut off US citizens' ability to move up economically.
Incidentally, there is a completely orthogonal concern that almost nobody is aware of: that Indian children are essentially being forced to study tech or medicine in order to get high-paying jobs in the west. This essentially erases their culture and robs the children of any freedom of identity. From single-digit ages they are being forced (under threat of discipline) to provide economic security for their parents. That is sickening.

What are you referring to here? Care to share some sources?
