The within story of Tucker Carlson’s firing from Fox Information is advised, and it reveals that Fox stays a cancerous tumor of misogyny on the nation.
Brian Stelter wrote in Vainness Honest (profanity edited):
Carlson’s inside critics, of whom there have been many, considered his therapy of the feminine executives as half and parcel of the misogyny displayed on his present. Greater than a dozen present and former Fox staff introduced this subject to me unsolicited. “Tucker may be very tickled by misogyny,” mentioned one presenter. Some staffers theorized that his mom’s abuse (she left the household when Carlson was six) created a negativity towards girls.
…
Carlson advised a pal that the phrase f*ck is “overused a lot that it has misplaced all energy and which means,” so c-nt was simpler: “It is tremendous naughty, however it’s to the purpose.” His model, as bizarre because it was, revolved round the concept he might name anybody the C-word or anything at any time. He might say something, do something and by no means be known as to account, so long as he captured the eye and affection of tens of millions.
Fox Information has had the Roger Ailes scandal, the Invoice O’Reilly scandal, and numerous sexual harassment allegations, however one way or the other the community let Tucker Carlson and his raging sexism run wild.
Organizationally, this actuality means that irrespective of who’s fired or how a lot cash is paid out in lawsuits, nothing has modified at Fox Information.
Fox Information spreads a continuing unstated pulse of misogyny. It beats by means of each program.
The dialog concerning the toxicity of Fox Information often revolves round what’s seen. Fox Information performs on racial divisions, non secular divisions, cultural divisions, and political divisions, however the community and Donald Trump are such an ideal match due to the best way sexism is a part of Fox Information’ DNA, embodied in human type by Donald Trump .
Tucker Carlson was all the time going to crash and burn. He did it at each CNN and MSNBC earlier than Fox Information.
The larger drawback is that Fox Information continues to be dragging its toes and pumping hatred in opposition to a majority of the nation into its viewers every day.
The issue was by no means Tucker Carlson. It was all the time Fox.
