Paul KrugmanExcellent column, but there's more: what about Carlson's hyperventilating about fuel supplies? 1/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/23/tucker-carlson-zelensky-speech-congress-2022-elections/
Hi gas prices in June were a "catastrophe", and Biden's fault, but apparently no credit for their rapid drop 2/ https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-price-us-gas-now-qualifies-catastrophe
And let's not forget about diesel fuel being exhausted by Thanksgiving week 3/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-warned-of-a-diesel-disaster-that-never-happened
We all make wrong predictions. But some of us try to face up to errors and learn from them ... 4/
martin lentink 🇪🇺 🇺🇦📎@pkrugman Tucker stopped learning a long, long time ago
soaproot@pkrugman On https://www.hacksontap.com/ they have made a bit of the part about admitting errors (complete with sound effect of a crow)
Dylan@pkrugman that’s when they’re mistakes. Tucker Carlson is a propagandist for the extreme right wing whose stock in trade is making his viewers scared and angry.
Hjemmefronten@pkrugman continuing to assume that Carlson et al are attempting to market factually correct information or evidence based opinions is not factually correct or evidence based. Their product is rage. The facts don’t matter.
Micah Warren@pkrugman wow the Bitcoin bros must be very loyal to Elon if they’re not joining in to reply pile-on to this tweet
Henrik Jensen@pkrugman I would guess that intentionally he is never interested in predictions. Only stirring rage. So whatever gives that, he runs with it.
Pacsurfliner Social Hoghead@pkrugman it’s not prediction. It’s propaganda designed to incite fear and anger.
Mike@pkrugman Except, Tucker Carlson isn’t making predictions. He’s enraging his viewers. That’s the whole point of the right-wing propaganda machine. Make their audience hate democrats so much that they will support republicans no matter how awful or incompetent they are.
NancyAnn@pkrugman
Who holds him accountable for his “predictions” (come on, let’s call them what they are - lies meant to scare his cult) not fox and not his viewers. Why would he ever admit he was wrong? He doesn’t have a conscience that keeps him up at night.

It should have happened!
It’s a shame that humanity is still so depending on fusie fuels.
And it seems nobody cares as long as there’s fuel. So only when the fuel runs out everybody is thinking about alternatives. Single people are smart, but humanity is stupid.
