Following a week where Jane Mayer’s exhaustive New Yorker essay exposing how Fox News has transformed from a Republican mouthpiece into the propaganda arm of Donald Trump’s White House<\/a><\/strong>, the network is undergoing additional hardship due to its own embrace of doctrinaire hate speech.<\/p>\n

The primetime White Nationalist Hour<\/em> of Tucker Carlson has long been a haven for bigotry dispensed by the most smugly arrogant blowhard on television. Carlson has the distinction of having been fired from three TV networks (PBS, CNN, and MSNBC). However, when he landed at Fox News (despite his previous bad blood with the network<\/a><\/strong>), he had truly found his TV soul mate, where he could blather incessantly about “dirty”<\/em> immigrants and loving all Americans, even the Klan members<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now Media Matters has unearthed some recordings of Carlson when he was a guest on a rather profane radio show hosted by Bubba, the Love Sponge. His rantings were among the most repulsively misogynistic tirades ever made in a public forum by a well known pundit. In the video compilation Carlson can heard blatantly defending a convicted sexual abuser and justifying child rape:<\/p>\n
