Wish I was surprised

NEW YORK (AP) — Tucker Carlson’s top writer has resigned from Fox News after secretly posting racist and sexist remarks online.

CNN reported Friday that writer Blake Neff used a pseudonym to write bigoted comments about Black and Asian people, as well as women, on the online forum AutoAdmit.

Neff began working on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in 2016 and was known as Carlson’s top writer. Neff previously worked as a reporter for the right-wing news outlet The Daily Caller, which Carlson co-founded.

Fox news line up. The 5. Tucker carlson. Hannity, Ingram angle Jessy watters .. take the time to watch these see how much news is covered compared to their open pro Trump messaging.. this is not accidental and its their show and they can cover what they wish..

Its just crazy to see the lengths they'll go to echo the narrative Trump wants. With no concern if its fact or fiction

I'd be very, very curious to know how often you've watched those shows. Not how often you'll say you watch, but how often you actually watch. Watching a montage of clips isn't the same thing.

I watch Tucker Carlson occasionally. He criticizes Trump and Republicans ALL THE TIME. All the time. He regularly calls for incompetent Republicans to be voted out. Show me someone on CNN or MSNBC in prime time that's anywhere near as balanced?

his show is conservative, obviously. but there is no comparison between tucker and hannity or anyone on prime time at cnn or
msnbc. everyone else are pure ideologues.

kind of hard to figure out what you're saying here, theres some gibberish in there. A typical segment might last 3-5 minutes, and you've never seen a whole segment of Tucker Carlson? Not one? Yet you can comment on his show? Interesting.

Without looking it up, but based just on your own observations, what about Tucker's show makes it unsurprising to you that he had a racist on his staff? And if they embrace racism, why did they fire him?

Never watch Whole show jim. Sorry .. but have watch many of his openingd and guest conversations. His bias is not masked nor is dog whistle..

Why they did not fire him .. his ratings are off the charts he is in deep with supporters who want a world he projects..

Hes more in line with a mega church leader saying what members want to believe �� saw this which describes him to a T

Carlson has become perhaps the highest-profile proponent of “Trumpism” — a blend of anti-immigrant nationalism, economic populism and America First isolationism that he articulates unapologetically..

And like Trump you rush to his defense??

As Jeff said, journalists are supposed to have professional standards. Unfortunately we see less journalism recently and more fiction. Thanks for exposing this rift.

Tucker Carlson announces he is going to be going on a "long planned" vacation "trout fishing."

Remember when Bill O'Reilly went for a “long planned vacation”? He never came back to his show.
