Fox News<\/strong>\u2018 Tucker Carlson<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This week on CounterSpin<\/strong>: Fox News<\/strong> is a flagship of right-wing disinformation, racism and hatred, and Tucker Carlson is its figurehead. Carlson spews harmful nonsense like it\u2019s his job, which it is, and he gets some $10 million a year from it\u2014but did you know that, if you have cable, you\u2019re paying into that income? We\u2019ll talk about how that works with Tim Karr, senior director of strategy and communications at the group Free Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And speaking of pollution: Polluting companies tell us every day how they\u2019re invested in the future; we\u2019ve heard corporations en masse say, \u201cProfits, what? We\u2019re all about the people now!\u201d There\u2019s a certain amount of people-who-make-the-problem-pretending-they\u2019re-the-solution that we can  see through, but there\u2019s still plenty going on behind the scenes. We\u2019ll talk with Lynn Parramore, senior research analyst at the Institute for New Economic Thinking<\/a>, about how hedge funds get in the way of the big changes all kinds of companies need to make to fight climate disruption.<\/p>\n
