There’s any number of real journalists or network taking heads to talk with. Picking Tucker, a highly skilled partisan troll, is presenting yourself in a certain way. This seems pretty straight forward to me.

Is there nothing in between the two extremes?
Carlson is a guy that is said by a judge and even his own lawyers you cant taken what he says as news or truth (or something along those lines).
Going straight to him…as well as the documentary during the trial with Carlson…is obviously going to paint him a certain way.
Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know how the PR worked there but my guess is there wasn't exactly a bidding war for him.
My point is I'm surprised people are surprised Tucker Carlson would have a guy on who was the central figure in a pro 2nd amendment case.

I dont think the surprise is Tucker reaching out…more that he went that way and that anyone is then surprised that people would form an opinion of Rittenhouse by him going to Carlson.Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know how the PR worked there but my guess is there wasn't exactly a bidding war for him.

No one is surprised he was on Tucker I believe. It was not a great idea coming out of this case is my opinion at least.Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know how the PR worked there but my guess is there wasn't exactly a bidding war for him.

I think he would have had his pick of shows to go on.

For sure.
There is a reason that Hillary Clinton, AOC and a bunch of others have refused every offer to go on Hannity or even Bill Mahars show. Shapiro offered to have a live debate with AOC and she declined. AOC declined because in a live debate Shapiro would destroy her.
Do you think an 18 year old kid with no experience dealing with the media would go on a hostile show when seasoned political people are afraid to?

This is the point I’m making. These are all politicians and political talk show hosts.
KR is a kid who just went through a highly visible trial, people were killed by his hands.
Tucker and photo ops with Trump are deliberate choices to be making IMO.
Because the host of the show on MSNBC was calling him a "little murderous white supremacist?" I'm shocked he wouldn't want to be on her show.

Surprised the wring word…but the thread seems a reaction to how he has been portrayed after a visit and photo with Trump.

The laugh? Really? What in my post suggested MSNBC?Because the host of the show on MSNBC was calling him a "little murderous white supremacist?" I'm shocked he wouldn't want to be on her show.
Why must the only choices be the two extremes? Thats my point. There are plenty of people outside of Carlson and Maddow.

David Muir?
Biased and hack are quite different things IMO.
Even on Fox…get outside of Hannity and Carlson and it wouldn’t have the same appearance.
Absolutely really. You asked "Why would any other show be hostile?" and I gave an example.
Perhaps there are lots of other options begging to have him on. I don't know. Maybe others do.

I think we are talking past each other. As I thought we were getting away from the extremes like MSNBC. That is what I was trying to get at.Absolutely really. You asked "Why would any other show be hostile?" and I gave an example.

Just of the opinion that going on Carlson is going to paint him or others a certain way. That is the reputation Carlson has now earned.

Yes..no doubt people go where their bread is buttered.
AOC took planned pictures crying at the border for the same reason. This is what people do

I’m not a Biden voter.He sure doesn't look like a Biden voter in that photo.
Does that make me a Trumper ?

Agreed. KR appears to be aligning himself with highly political figures. I understand why a politician would do this.
This is him choosing this not the liberal media - not the point you were making but it is related to this convo.
You do realized he also gave an in-depth interview with Ashleigh Banfield an award winning journalist and legal expert who has worked for both MSNBC and CNN and is hardly a conservative?
it is funny how this is ignored.

As far as Trump goes, when the media was condemning Kyle and demanding Trump to denounce white supremacy, Trump stood up to their lies and pressure and said it looked like self-defense all to the shock of the media. Trump offers Kyle a safe and secure location where he can be himself and enjoy some time with an ex-president. I love how liberals now want to condemn Kyle for hanging out with people who supported him. I am not convinced Kyle's most trusted advisor, this ex-military Hancock dude with a shady past is a great idea, but I don't see Kyle's biggest critics all of a sudden have his best interest in mind.
Thanks. I have to admit I don’t know much about Muir. Will have to check out ABC news. Was always a huge Ted Koppel fan.

No I did not realize this and am not familiar with this person. This is what I would be doing more of if I were advising him and he wants to remain in the public eye.
The General

I doubt this. I think any media member who wants viewers would want him on their show.
Ok. I think it's pretty understood people in the PSF are "going to have opinions" if he goes on Tucker Carlson.

I dont think it’s limited to the PSF.
Anyway. Back to time with my in laws. I hope you enjoy the rest of your thanksgiving.

I am primarily interested in this thread around the discussion about the perceptions of KR post trial. It could be anyone in this position. Handling media is a bear trap but Tucker and Trump is a very specific route he has chosen and probably the 2 biggest flamethrowers he could pick.

Correct. Yang started the tweet "I don't think this needs stating" and he was right. There's not a single person in the country who thought his latest failure larping as a real Party was PRO white supremacy.
It will be interesting to see any consistency on denouncing other movements that are "antithetical" to the "grace and tolerance" of forward. Prediction: No.

Does not want him, or making a calculation that they would get backlash they don't want if they had him on?

I wish....its not a ton of people, but there are plenty that hold on to our media's behavior and obsess over it.

If he's trying to cash in on his noteriaty that probably is the best show to reach potential customers.

I think Ashleigh Banfield is having him on her show. I saw the promo yesterday. She's no conservative. She's on NewsNation, a channel I admittedly have absolutely no idea about.

I wonder if these interviews weaken his standing when he sues for defamation. These things make him a public figure by his own choice.

It happened a few days ago and I posted the link to the YouTube video in this thread. The post was quoted right below your post.

Why would anyone care who this misguided teenager supports politically? I mean, come on.
As I’ve said before, the left media’s reporting of this event and trial was reprehensible. However, the media on the right turning this kid into some kind of folk hero and championing him is awful too. Disgusting, really.

Sure. Sorry about that. I started skimming a bit and missed it. I was wondering why nobody brought it up, but I must have missed you saying that.
