It’s been a week since the shocking announcement that Fox News had fired their biggest star, and most repugnant personality, Tucker Carlson. And in the interim there has been much speculation about the reasons for his termination, which were never spelled out by either Fox News. Carlson didn’t even mention it in his pathetic, post-pink-slipped video<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not that it requires much imagination to explain why Carlson was summarily banished from his soap box on Fox. His programs featured his blatantly racist commentaries attacking Black politicians and private citizens; his crackpot conspiracy theories accusing the FBI of orchestrating the January 6th insurrection, and M&Ms of desexualizing their cartoon mascots; his embrace of authoritarian dictators like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orb\u00e1n; and his propagation of Donald Trump’s “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen”<\/em> from him.<\/p>\n

Of course, none of those transgressions from reality and decency had anything to do with Carlson losing his job. They probably prevented him from losing it even sooner. His dismissal was more likely due to his trashing of his Fox colleagues and bosses. He is reported to have referred to a senior Fox News executive as a “C-word”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> on numerous occasions. He disparaged the “Brain Room”<\/em> staff who called the state of Arizona for Joe Biden. And he generally strutted around like he was invincible and bigger than Fox.<\/p>\n

Now a new leaked video (see below)<\/em> exposes Carlson trashing the Fox Nation streaming service that runs his own programs. In the video Carlson was discussing an upcoming interview that was to appear on both his Fox News program and a longer version on Fox Nation. According to Media Matters<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“[Carlson was]<\/em> doing some image rehab for misogynistic social media influencer Andrew Tate. [who is currently in Romania]<\/em> being investigated on allegations of rape, people trafficking and forming an organised crime group..”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carlson is seen saying that “I’m like a representative of the American media now, speaking to an exile in Romania and welcoming [Tate] back into the brotherhood of journalists.”<\/em> Really? Journalists? That word doesn’t describe Tate or Carlson. But even worse from the standpoint of his employment status, Carlson says that…<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to be a slave to Fox Nation. [and that]<\/em> Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks. So I’d really like to just put the – dump the whole thing on YouTube. [… I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is representative of the loathsome character of Carlson. He has alienated his associates and insulted his superiors. And it was likely that – not his abhorrent, hateful, and anti-American views – that cost him his propaganda perch on Fox.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if any other media enterprise (other than Russian TV or Steve Bannon’s War Room) will be willing to risk adopting this malevolent misfit. Because no one with any credibility takes Carlson seriously. Even Carlson doesn’t doesn’t take Carlson seriously.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> More revelations of Carlson’s heinousness<\/a><\/strong> were disclosed in racist text messages wherein he describes a group of “Trump guys”<\/em> brutally assaulting an “Antifa kid”<\/em> and remarks that “It\u2019s not how white men fight.”<\/em> He said that he hoped they would kill him. He was also captured on video whining about his deposition in the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit, maligning their lawyer as “a slimy little motherf**ker”<\/em> who “triggered the shit out of me.”<\/em><\/p>\n
