I'm gonna grain-of-salt just about anything reported by Cucker Tarlson

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i would have used a metric ton of salt in the past; but now that he's been slapped by the epstein oligarchy, he's become slightly more trustworthy.

and besides, this is coming from someone who was close to zelensky, not carlson himself.

not trustworthy. he likely just shifted strategies and being slightly less of a liar is part of it.

i don't doubt that you're right; i just have a soft spot for him because i see myself in him somewhat.

life decided to knock him down when fox news kicked him off the air and rebuilt himself with a slightly smarter understanding of the world because of it.

like i did, but i wasn't on fox news nor will i ever be a millionaire nor an heir to the swanson family fortune. lol

i relate with that too as i have a similar background but i'm always careful with it, as that kind of story is usually engineered by these people (or their PR teams) precisely to make them look relatable in a certain way.
