Tucker Carlson's Monologue 9/5/2020: Why Silicon Valley is doing all it can to help the Biden-Harris ticket

Hi all, last night I tuned in to Tucker Carlson's show hoping to hear his take on the Atlantic article that came out, that didn't happen so I got to hear his monologue on Silicon Valley and Saagar's input. Here is the link to his monologues: The one I am referencing is titled "Tucker: Why Silicon Valley is doing all it can to help the Biden-Harris ticket"

He starts by highlighting that a google lobbyist Susan Molinari spoke at the DNC, indicating she is a current lobbyist and that this sends a message to big tech that you're safe. A quick google search shows she stepped down in November 2018. Now is there a secret that she continues to work with google but not disclose it? Tucker didn't even mention she resigned, that tells me he's just trying to stir something up.

He then continued by quoting several videos from various sources but not playing the clips, and then he goes into the google CEO starting at about 1:45. The CEO goes on to say that he was upset by the results of the election, and when asked if he saw any positives he laughed. Tucker takes this to mean that the CEO is going to actively involve himself in the next election, what? Where did this come from? Why not play clips from the actual hearing on capital hill not long ago where the CEO gave on the record statements regarding involvement in the election? Anyways, he continues and takes another quote then basically spins it how he wants. Tucker seemingly cant find any direct quotes that actually promote his narrative so he has to add in that they're going to be "subverting democracy" by adjusting their algorithm. Even when it was shown in the Mueller report that google was targeted by Russian Federation’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff. Didn't Fox News fawn over this report as it was positive for the President? To me it would seem obvious that a search engine should then adjust their algorithm to eliminate all foreign disinformation or hacking campaigns.

However, this does seem like the fairest argument that Tucker makes during his segment, conservatives are not treated particularly fairly by big tech. But at the same time, why are all the tech suddenly on the side of Biden? Believing that they will not be regulated under him? When in actuality its was the Democrats, and Republicans like Ken Buck, being ones that go after the tech companies for the monopolistic and anti-competitive practices during the hearing. While people like Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan only are concerned about their emails being sent to spam.

Moving on, to my biggest issue with this monologue starting at about 5:00. He plays Kamala Harris' interview with Stephen Colbert from June. This is in regard to the ongoing protests and Stephen says, "I know that there are protests happening in major cities across the United States, I'm just not seeing the reporting on it that I had for the first few weeks." Kamala interjects saying, "That's right, but they're not going to stop, they're not going to stop. This is a movement." Cut edit. "They're not going to stop till election day November, and they're not going to stop after election day. And everyone should take note of that on both levels that they're not going to let up." I wanted to give direct quotes because directly after playing this Tucker says that, "The Rioters are not going to let up and they should not says Kamala Harris." What?? Within the segment with Colbert there is absolutely no reference to rioters. Only discussion on the protests, but Tucker says the quiet part out loud. Protestors are rioters, doesn't matter who or when, if you're out in the street at any point you're a rioter. I just don't get it, there are so many different clips he could have used to prove his point but he uses a interview where they never talk about rioters. He then uses that to push that Kamala wants riots to happen continuously, adding in something about a previous tweet that wasn't pulled down by Twitter to tie in to this oppression of conservative views.

Saagar came on after and he was fine, he had the same stances on big tech regarding social conservatism that he's provided to us on Rising. I don't agree with them but he's been relatively consistent. I wish though he would have brought up his critiques on anti-competitive practices these groups engage in.

I'd like everyone's thoughts on this. I generally have no issues with news hosts promoting their own views. As we should have all viewpoints represented across networks and news sites. However, when half truths are presented and words are put into people's mouths even after showing the video I have concerns. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
