The idea that this text caused his firing is ludicrous. Anyone who thinks that Fox leadership was in any way shocked by this text message and it’s racist phraseology is a moron. Tucker gave the leadership of Fox, including the Board, which tearfully states they were shocked! Yes shocked at this behavior from their star. I’m reminded of Casablanca’s hapless and corrupt police captain who was shocked that there was gambling at Ricks as he’s given his winnings.
The Board, like most public company boards is toothless and under the Murdochs control. The Murdochs decided enough was enough and fired the racist prima donna.
I take his admission of his own culpability and moral defects seriously because they were in a private message to a colleague and not for public disclosure. That admission, conveys more of Carlson’s moral defectiveness than any megaphoned media critique of him.
He is obviously a morally bankrupt and broken man who has used his media career with Fox to make up for past failures. That’s all.
Beyond the Pale - pun intended
Right on, right on.
