    West is there disagreeing with Tucker and Dore is there specifically to agree with Tucker. The situations just aren't comparable.

    Edit: Also, in both cases, Tucker allows the guest to be there because Tucker believes he has something to gain in terms of affecting what the audience believes and that he can leverage the guest's presence to accomplish that. West is there to be Tucker's foil, but I think West is smart enough to use that position to reach Tucker's audience. On the other hand, Dore is there agreeing with Tucker.

      Also, in both cases...

      If you can say that both cases share a similarity then they're comparable. If Tucker having West on benefits Tucker in some way, then you have to admit that West being there helps Tucker. Which means you think West unwittingly helped a Nazi. If someone can be smart enough to also use Tucker for their own means then so can Dore.

      Here's west telling white racists that white people have been part of the Civil Rights movement. A truth that racists are using to their own ends. And West is smart enough to know that. But he says it for them anyways. He also says he's not a fan of Biden on the channel that doesn't like Biden. So he's agreeing with them.

      You just have to get over this lib hysteria about Fox News. It's not even the center of the political universe. You're going to have to face the complexity of the world rather than just categorize everything into good and bad based on media consumption or guilt by association. I'm done and withdrawing from the discussion.

        Yeah he "can" be but I don't think he is.
