Opinion: Fox News couldn’t care less about Tucker Carlson's misogynist comments
By Erik Wemple Erik Wemple Media critic with a focus on the ups and downs and downs of the cable-news industry. Email Bio Follow Media critic March 11 at 8:26 AM They’re freshly “unearthed.” They’re setting Twitter aflame. They’re alarming. They’re offensive. They’re unforgivable.
On Sunday, Madeline Peltz of Media Matters for America surfaced a bunch of comments that Carlson made when he called in to the radio show hosted by Bubba the Love Sponge between 2006 and 2011.
And we know from the published record that the Tucker Carlson on the audiotapes is the real Tucker Carlson. There’s a lot more where they came from, in other words. On Sunday night, Fox News issued a statement attributed to Carlson himself: “Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago. Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why.
