Look, I asked a simple question about this post that is titled "Jim Accosta Takes Dowm Tucker Carlson: Ukraine Needs Allies, Not More Lies." Dirtman's post then goes on to say something vague about Putin's lies and excuses for invading Ukraine.
Never mentions Accosta. Never mentions Carlson. So I ask what do Accosta and Carlson have to do with this post? Simple question. Dirtman ignores the question totally and you at least provide a partial answer (which I give you credit for), by saying "Tucker Carlson is parroting Putin's talking points to justify Putin's GENOCIDE in Ukraine!" which at least answers the Carlson part. Being that it sounds mighty outrageous for Tucker Carlson to be advocating genocide in Ukraine, I ask "Oh, then what did he say?" and I further inquire about Jim Accosta's role in this.
Instead of actually telling me what he said, or even a fraction of what he said, or even a talking point, you tell me to go look it up myself. Figuring that the Carlson quotes must not be all that important for you to tell me, I prod further in hopes that you can tell me something. You reply that you don't even listen to Carlson and that your opinion had been based on other people's responses to him rather than actually hearing or seeing a quote.
So fine, I figure there must be nothing there as is often the case and I tell you that I don't feel like hunting down some quote that I figure doesn't even exist from a guy I don't listen to myself. I also figured that if you really wanted me to know what he said, you would tell me or provide a link to his supposed advocating of genocide. You, apparently irked by my lack of curiosity, continue to prod me into doing research for you in order to back up your own claim which I don't feel like pursuing.
I've already figured out by your responses that Carlson really didn't say anything that bad, because with all the time you took to respond multiple times by calling me lazy and exhorting me to "look it up for myself," you could have easily provided the key quote. I don't go around making startling claims to other people and then tell them to go find out if it is real or not. That would be preposterous.

Loud applause for your patience in trying to explain this not so difficult concept!!
