FIRED!

Tucker is not my favorite, howerver, I thought his slam was well placed. Let's face it, the way Samantha Power was targeted by the HRC campaign was pathetic. Imagine, calling someone a "monster" in 2008! Wait, this wouldn't have anything to do with a Pultizer Prize that Ms. Power's recieved for a book that dared to question the politics of another Clinton....would it? No, that just couldn't be possible, we all know how the MSM targets poor Hillary. Taking out Samantha Power will be considered a just reward for the infamous "Clinton Machine." I hope at least 1/2 of the world sees the absurdity of this, and I wish that the Obama Campaign would have just stood by Ms. Power and laughed it off. SNL calls her a bitch (in a good way?) and it's humor.....Samantha Power calls her a "monster" and it's an international incident. "Shame on you" HRC. No matter what I think of Tucker, he deserves major points for slamming this journalist.

This is why he got fired.......hahahahahahahahahahahaha, what a jerk.

Me, I'm hung up on: "What is the big deal about calling Hillary Clinton a monster?"

Is "monster" not P.C. enough?

If that is the case, then I propose that we all describe her as a "morally-challenged denizen of an alternative dimension".

I think she responded very well. Nicely done.

Sorry but I'm with Tucker on this one. She was just trying to make a name for herself and start some controversy. It was uncalled for and served no purpose otherwise to print a comment that someone stated was off the record. I hope she never gets another interview for the remainder of her career.

Right on, Tucker! Anyone looking to hire a rogue journalist might want to consider Peev, for she will soon be looking for work.

Although I agree Tucker is completely wrong in this instance, I also show no respect for the Scotsman journalist in this case. The woman she was interviewing was there for an interview about her BOOK. It was not supposed to be a political hit-job until the reporter decided to turn it into one (and what I've seen of British journalism, they tend to turn just about anything into a political hit-job, er, "row"). The reporter's cold and bland "I am a tool just doing my job" is about as moral as the solider that says, "I was just following orders" or the attorney that defends a guilty man, "I am just a tool in the process." The reporter and the interviewee are first and foremost human beings, not tools, not cogs, and not scoops.

Tucker Carlson did his best to ge viewership. He is in fact an intelligen man, but ended to make pronuncements that lack any foundation, but were done to prduce a reaction. He did seem to be improvng. He also seemed to be on a station that is having a lot of programing problems. I wish him th best an hope he lands on his feet.

Tucker, more than once, admitted why he was so shocked---- he asked "don't you risk access if you don't do what they ask you to?"... after this interview, he brought on a Clinton strategist/supporter I believe (do not remember name) and they continued to lambaste the 'Scot' and laughed at the absurdity of a journalist 'risking access to candidates' by reporting all the facts.....
this made me almost break my 4th TV set as I watched it alone, and was wondering, if not hoping, that this would outrage others who may have had the misfortune of seeing Tucker on the tube ( I guess I was just lucky)

on the bright side, at least tucker'll have this clip to replay night after lonely night now that his show's been canceled.

Tucker is an untalented snob who hides behind a prep school arrogance. Once he obtained his own show his lack of talent could no longer be hidden.

There are no journalistic standards in America, only bottom lines. Corporate journalism is a branch of the entertainment industry. It has the same relationship to an educated public as Coca-Cola has to good nutrition. Of course, there are some independents, "non-embeddeds," alternative or Web types, etc., who are OK.

And we now learn this... Tucker cancelled!!!

Insiders tell TVNewser Tucker Carlson's 6pmET show Tucker is getting the axe, but Carlson stays on as a political contributor to all MSNBC shows at least through the 2008 election.

Powers should have seen it coming. She got too comfortable with the interview, and probably underestimated Peev's ambition to be editor in chief for the London Times. Bye bye "The Scotsman", hello "London Times".
