![]() ![]() Let's begin with what Tucker Carlson used to be. Lyz, welcome to On the Media.īob: He founded the Daily Caller, which started out with journalistic aspirations and it's now essentially Fox primetime in text, which, I would say, is kind of a microcosm of his entire career. In September of last year, she profiled Carlson, exploring very much that same question. How in the world did he get here? Lyz Lenz is a writer for Columbia Journalism Review. So, that makes him- I mean, why isn't he white?īob: Yes, the heir to Bill O'Reilly's pulpit of lies and intolerance seems to have been born for the job and yet his history, prep school son of elite parents who made a name as a stylish and diligent shoe leather journalist seems to have predicted nothing of the tele-creep he has become. How is he Black? For one thing, he has one white parent, one Black parent. Radio Host: Obama would kick your ass playing basketball. I think they've done a pretty- I don't know, whatever. Tucker: You know, white men, they've contributed some, I would say, like creating civilization and stuff. Carlson, a frequent guest there, is also heard denouncing women in the most vulgar terms, and his defense of whiteness goes to a very creepy place. It's just one of many decade-old clips from shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show. Tucker: Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of semi-literate primitive monkeys.īob: There's some overtalk there, but he's saying, "Semi-literate primitive monkeys," referring to Iraqis. Now, courtesy of the Fox-obsessed liberal media watchdog Media Matters comes a trove of archival Carlson rhetoric that dispenses with intellectual pretense altogether. The Daily Stormer claims him as a poster child, and lately the declaration 'Heil Tucker' is being used without irony. It is performance art, really.īob: Carlson's supposedly intellectualized arguments against immigrants and minorities have made him the darling of the alt-right. It is now an event of competition in which elites vie to see who can reach greater heights of rhetorical excess and self-righteous posturing. Tucker: The spectacle of illegal immigrants separated from their children at the border has ceased to be a news story in any traditional sense of the term. But of course, clichés don't come from nowhere. We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided.īob: To say that Tucker Carlson toys with dog whistles and nakedly white supremacist tropes on his nightly Fox News broadcast is, at this point in his long career in commentary, cliché. Tucker Carlson: Our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. ![]() We replay that for you now complete with the original introduction, because that's where a lot of the most damning tape is. The last time Carlson was in the headlines with the March, 2019 resurrection of his very own hate speech, we spoke to writer, Lyz Lenz, whose profile of the cable news' enfant truly, truly terrible, plumbed the depths of his soul, such that it is. Oh, also, his head writer and primary douche whisperer, Blake Neff, was forced out of Fox after his explicitly racist and misogynist social media posts were unmasked online. On the other side of the ledger, advertisers are fleeing his show on the grounds of not wishing to be associated with lies and hate speech.
