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.
Like Charlie Sykes I don’t believe that quote was all that bad - it revealed much about Tuckers brokenness and hypocrisy - that quote was a smokescreen by the Fox leadership to hide their culpability - as Tuckers views, racist or not were clear to anyone during the past 3years - the text was NOT leaked,it was the product of legal discovery and it’s Fox who used it for their own purposes - Tuckers moral condition and limitations have been self evident to anyone who bothered to listen to or read what he said
The ability to condemn "elitists" and in the same breath compare someone to Mozart is impressive to me.
You're taking to somebody, but it ain't me, babe.
*talking
I didn't see that either, or say or suggest I did, and I don't think it would necessarily be relevant to what I'm talking about.
Beyond the Pale - pun intended
Right on, right on.
