This is why these parasites are still around. They shift with the wind. Now as the Republican party implodes they get to be the "principled conservatives" who rebuild the messaging for 2028.
Not Glenn Beck’s first mea culpa rodeo
Ah yes. The 10 minute Glenn Beck is sorry arc with Samantha Bee.
not good but better-i thought they were actually doing glenn beck again and i snapped inside lmao
I thought Glenn Beck died in a small plain incident in the rockies seven years ago.
German media outlets changed their political stance when the Nazis were defeated. This is just history repeating itself.
They aren’t sorry for the millions of dollars they’ve received over their grifting careers by lying to us.
So, Beck and Carlson have regrets.... and that's all they're going to do about it.
Spoiler alert... they aren't sorry.
If they felt a level of remorse appropriate to their actions, they would not be making a podcast about it.
Useful followup for the 2016 Glenn Beck piece: www.salon.com/2021/06/10/g...
Well, ya. We already knew they were a bunch of sorry mthr fckrs.
The classic media-enabled pivot from “Thrillingly Heterodox Contrarian (Who Says What Everyone’s Thinking)” to “Sadder But Wiser Elder Statesmen (Who Has Been Jew-Pilled by Groypers and Russian Handlers).” Wake me up when we get to “Dead and Long-Forgotten Asshole.”
"Sorry we got everything we wanted with no sign of that changing anytime soon, but I don't support it NOW, so can you stop being so mean to me pweeze? 🥺"
Gotta run the AwShucks-otron at least once every month or so otherwise accountability might accidentally occur.
Remember Megyn Kelly's brief 'I'm sorry' tour. That was fun
Here's the problem. I can appreciate that they've stopped drinking this particular kool-aid. But they still unironically believe some absolutely ghastly shit. So while I'm glad they're not supporting Trump... I'm still going to resent that they're taking up all the air in the room, as usual.
2026: Orphan-Grinding Machine Worker Says "Sorry About All the Orphans, Folks" 2027: "Orphan Grinding Is a Good Thing, Actually" Says Veteran Organ-Grinding Machine Worker
And @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social watched the the podcast where Tucker was saying WHY he was sorry and it was for all the bad reasons! Should be criminal to run that headline
Glen Beck isn't dead?
Aaahahahahahahahahahaha (they're not sorry)
Con artists stay con artists
as a good Catholic, Tucker should pay a penance. Count up all the millions of dollars you made parroting Donald Trump‘s lies and donated to a charity or an organization that protects voter rights.
Wow, Trump is even losing money for grifter pundits.
Both of them can fuck themselves forever.
Are they serious? 🤷🏼♀️
ah look, new font
See, this isn't well known but whenever there's a lull in the news, they have this wheel they spin to decide what kind of anti-liberalism articles to produce. This week it landed on "empathy for the abusers."
they are just smol beans who never meant to hurt anybody! except minorities, women, democrats, city dwellers, gay and transgender people, poor people, immigrants, disabled people…
Not since John Belushi smashed that guitar in Animal House have we seen such a sincere and heartfelt expression of remorse!
I’m still mad at Samantha 🐝 for believing his lies.
Booooo NYT
He's only upset because the Iran debacle is an obviously unpopular shitshow. Tucker was and still is absolutely fine with all of Trump's politics and. Thus, he still deserves to have every square inch of his body covered in papercuts before being drowned in a pool of lemon juice. Fuck you Tucker!
who might be next? Jonah Goldberg? Hugh Hewitt? The Dumbest Man on the Internet Jim Hoft? I CAN’T FUCKIN’ WAIT!
Been around the block enough to see this as the usual play in the MSM after the GOP shits the bed. You highlight "sensible" Republicans unhappy with their party, in order to make the center an appealing option for normalization Once we are pacified, the money & influence flows back to the idiots
Wait isn't it Woke to reflect upon your past actions, and to apologize for things?
I'll believe they're sorry when they donate millions of dollars to LGBTQ+ charities and start aggressively campaigning for their defense at least as hard as they were in attacking them.
Why does it look like a Netflix comedy special
A sign of Republicans losing, the principle-less drifters are trying to distance thieves now
I mean it is newsworthy for the world’s most influential right wing personality to say publicly that Trump is bad/dangerous. It doesn’t mean the journalist thinks Tucker is a great guy. Why is this hard.
Fuck, and I cannot emphasize this enough, those guys.
something folks gotta understand is after It Happens, the “unchecked unitary executive with 50 complicit rightwing states” project does not die with him
So Russia stopped sending checks or what?
NYT must pretend it is neutral from time to time.
Because if they hit the refresh button enough times it kinda works, look at Bill Kristol.
He’s running!
After 85 or so repetitions they may begin to suspect a lack of sincerity.
they know the grift isn't working anymore so they're working on a newer, softer grift.
Must have been a hard decision not to support him for a 3rd term.
Spoiler alert: Glenn Beck was not, in fact, sorry for all that.
“I want to say I’m sorry, but I’m not going to.”
shifting gears to be better at marketing the flavor of hate in USA I suppose. alex jones joined this bandwagon.
thank you
Who?
How many "oopsies" do white guys get again?
Tucker is not as tormented as he should be.
Beck is on his second round of “sorry.” A thoroughly unprincipled demagogue.
If anything, they're just smart enough to realize (now, at least) that publicly following in lockstep with Trump is social poison. They're not actually changing their beliefs at all
Tucker is a high caliber bullshit artist. He’s just trying to reposition himself for a post-Trump world. People should be embarrassed for believing a word that comes out of his mouth.
Shoot them both in the head, along with Alex Jones.
Tucker: "I don't like Trump..." New York Times: "MESSIAH!!! HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!" Tucker: "... because he's not enough of a nazi. We need to go all in on butchering anyone who isn't a wealthy straight white male." New York Times: "MESSIAH!!! HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!"
If only someone had told them.
Love that this "whoopsie!" pose and article is in response to helping Donald Trump getting elected in 2016. An honest mistake any of us could make. Wonder what's happened since then with old Glenn and Donnie.
That second image is so, so funny, in a darkly non-funny way.
Ah yes, the "he's welcome at elite dinner parties again" signal flag.
I had a moment on here with Charlie Sykes where I trashed him for being a huge part of the right wing media apparatus that got us here and he seemed legit puzzled to be held even slightly accountable now that he was a “never trumper.” Zero culpability, zero self awareness
I hope they suffer beyond repair. No amount of penance can save the world from their harm and evil.
Things are bad, but they'll get better. You're not alone. See, our colleagues are real sorry about all this. They're just little guys. They're reasonable. They're not just saying this stuff for money. We don't occasionally pay them to say that stuff in our paper. We're all pals.
It’s so disingenuous that it is almost laughable. Clearly the majority of MSM believes the population of this country is as stupid as Trump supporters.
Ah man feel like I’ve heard that before
Being sorry doesn’t extend to fucking off and never being heard from again though does it?
Beck and Carlson hate the working class, women, trans people, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, gays, and intellectuals - in that order - whereas MAGA hates the working class, women, trans people, Muslims, Jews, Latinos, gays, and intellectuals. The Gaza genocide made a schism inevitable.
"Sorry" without doing to work to make amends is rubbish.
No reset/play again button for these fuckers.
Why do they always act as if a moment of performative contrition means we should listen to them now? Like, why do they get a seat on the panel? They belong in the back taking notes for the rest of their lives.
Their outraged white-guy moneymaking grift slowed down but they want to stay relevant.
Plus Michael Harriot for the scorching WIN on this one www.contrabandcamp.com/p/the-report...
Never believe a “Conservative commentator turning over a new leaf” column, especially if it has a thumbnail like this
I remember this gem
Who does the NYT think gives an actual f*ck?
The heel-to-face turn gets them every time
