Anyone who takes Carlson seriously is a half-wit themselves. He's been a fool for years.

Best part: that isn't even my opinion it is fact

I can’t believe that you are so obtuse that you would choose that point to focus on.

I think graduating from the university of Rhode Island summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. degree in journalism and spending over 20 years in journalism would probably support her credentials.

Being Woman of the year is nothing to be proud of.

It's sexist.

He probably should have used a better insult like "blinded by partisanship" or "Amanpour is enamored with tribal politics."

But nuance is hard. Simple insults are easy. And it appeals to his viewer base.

Looks like mostly worthless awards.


Like an Emmy, Grammy, or Golden Globe.
