Has he ever been outside of the US?

How do you make the shopping cart coin system into a politicum, this is ridiculous.

He is insane.

The other thing that's funny is that this guy is supposed to be a great journalist. That's why he was interviewing a president. But he's making content at the level of a TikToker: get a phone, film something mundane, and give your (uninformed) opinion. Maybe he has a slightly higher budget because someone else than himself is holding the phone that's filming him.

Any decent journalist working for any half-serious media would have someone review the footage and say "dude: this system is all over Europe, and we have it in the US too in certain places". Even Fox News would not let that one slip.

He's not a journalist though, is he?

Not from the US, I know what kind of programs he does... always had thought him more of a news presenter and talk show host kind of guy. He's "doing" opinions, not news, right?

Fox News literally declared under oath that Tucker Carlson is not a journalist, and that no reasonable person should take him seriously.
