Tucker Carlson never uttered the Michael Cohen, but he did give plenty of coverage to the possibility that pandas are sex-crazed killing machines.

Carlson said, “Are pandas in fact sex crazed killing machines? A new study says they are despite appearances and of course we will have details on that. Stay tuned.”
Tucker did go on to talk about Panda’s being sex-crazed killing machines, while his only mention of the Michael Cohen raid came in the form of a CNN clip, which he then criticized for having poor news priorities by saying, “Well, that raid is reportedly connected to the Stormy Daniels story. CNN covered wall-to-wall and of course, Stormy Daniels is way more important than any war with Syria. That’s CNN’s position.”
Notice that Carlson never mentioned the name Michael Cohen or Russia. On Fox News, the Russia investigation doesn’t exist. The raid of Michael Cohen wasn’t about emails between Cohen and Hope Hicks concerning a meeting with the Russians.
Nothing to see here, according to Fox News.
Fox has Trump viewers living in a bubble where they criticize other networks while ignoring the biggest and most important stories of the day.
But enough about that. Back to the sex-crazed pandas, right Tucker?
