Censorship/Cancel Culture: Tucker fires his top writer for free speeching online

"Ron Burgundy will read anything you put on the teleprompter. I mean an-y-thing."

 

A FOX News celebrity?

 

The ‘superior genes’ must have skipped a generation for this textbook definition of incel.

 

Ba da boom TSH! (high hat)

Over the weekend, you may have seen stories about a writer on this show called Blake Neff. For years, since he was in college, Blake posted anonymously on an internet message board for law school students. On Friday, many of those posts became public. Blake was horrified by the story and he was ashamed. Friday afternoon he resigned from his job.

We want to say a couple of things about this.

First, what Blake wrote anonymously was wrong. We don't endorse those words. They have no connection to the show. It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control. In this country, we judge people for what they do, not for how they were born. We often say that because we mean it. We'll continue to defend that principle, often alone among national news programs because it is essential. Nothing is more important. Blake fell short of that standard and has paid a very heavy price for it.

But we should also point out to the ghouls now beating their chests in triumph at the destruction of a young man, self-righteousness also has its costs. We are all human. When we pretend we are holy, we are lying. When we pose as blameless in order to hurt other people, we are committing the gravest sin of all and we will be punished for it. There is no question.

 

Are we sure this guy doesn’t have other aliases on other message boards? Maybe he also likes to go by @Senator or @dachuda86

 

It's kind of funny because plenty of people have been denying the dogwhistle and it turns out all those people that called it out were right.

Tucker's been shoving racist propaganda down the throats of millions of people for years now. Pretty terrifying when you think about it and probably explains why some of Trump's base vote the way they do.

Fox News Staffers Erupt: Bosses ‘Created a White Supremacist Cell’

“Fox has a reputation for being bigoted and racist, all for very good reason,” former Fox News Specialists host Eboni K. Williams, who left the network in 2018, told The Breakfast Club last year. She now works for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Revolt TV.

Fox News’ coddling of racist behavior, Williams said, has been a deeply ingrained feature since its founding, not least because the late Roger Ailes saw the opportunity to profit off “the fear of intrinsic devaluation of white people in this country.” When radio host Charlamagne tha God asked if, at Fox, “the fear of a Black and Brown planet drives the message,” Williams agreed: “It feels like a viable threat.”

“What the viewers hear is the white supremacist crap. And that crap goes straight to the White House.”

And Carlson has launched to Fox News superstardom primarily by appealing to that exact fear—whether it comes from the threat of immigrants, whom he accused of making America “poorer and dirtier” in Dec. 2018, or the Black Lives Matter “mob,” or “hoax” fears about white supremacy, or Muslims like Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom the Fox host called “a living fire alarm, a warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration system immediately or else.”

Such bigoted commentary has driven away many of the network’s sponsors, and yet, according to The New York Times, Lachlan Murdoch personally texted his support to Carlson amid one such advertiser boycott.

All told, advertising during Carlson’s show, the most-viewed on the entire network, has been reduced to an anemic roster of Fox promos, PSAs, low-budget direct marketers, and MyPillow—an aggressively pro-Trump pillow company that now accounts for more than 30 percent of the show’s ads.

But Carlson, along with like-minded Fox News stars like Ingraham, appears to be safe from ever facing any repercussions for his conduct, leaving concerned employees feeling frustrated and resigned.

“It’s unbelievable,” one staffer said. “I know you’re supposed to stay silent, but this is intolerable.”​
