Tucker Carlson ‘passionately’ hates Trump, and eight more key revelations about Fox News from new Dominion filings

 

Fox News continues to be exposed like never before.

In legal filings made public Tuesday as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing channel, a trove of private text messages, emails, and deposition transcripts offered a new look at how the sausage is made behind the scenes at the channel — and it is ugly.

The filings expose the face of the network, Tucker Carlson, as a fraud. They show that Rupert Murdoch rejected conspiracy theories about Dominion, despite allowing them to be promoted on his network. And they show the contempt that hosts like Sean Hannity have for some of their colleagues who tried to tell the truth about what actually transpired in the 2020 election.

A version of this article first appeared in the “Reliable Sources” newsletter. Sign up for the daily digest chronicling the evolving media landscape here.

The legal filings total hundreds and hundreds of pages. Journalists will unquestionably be sifting through them for days and weeks to come. But here are some immediate takeaways:

► Carlson “passionately” hates Trump: In a number of private text messages, Carlson was harshly critical of Trump. In one November 2020 exchange, Carlson said Trump’s decision to snub Joe Biden’s inauguration was “so destructive.” Carlson added that Trump’s post-election behavior was “disgusting” and that he was “trying to look away.” In another text message conversation, two days before the January 6 attack, Carlson said, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.” Carlson added of Trump, “I hate him passionately.” The Fox host said of the Trump presidency, “That’s the last four years. We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”

► Murdoch rejected conspiracies: In his January deposition, Murdoch was repeatedly asked about various electronic voting conspiracy theories — and he rejected all of them. “You’ve never believed that Dominion was involved in an effort to delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump, correct?” a Dominion lawyer asked at one point. “I’m open to persuasion; but, no, I’ve never seen it,” Murdoch replied.

► Top hosts probably ” went too far”: In an email to Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott, Murdoch conceded that some of his top hosts probably crossed the line in the aftermath of the 2020 election. “Maybe Sean [Hannity] and Laura [Ingraham] went too far,” Murdoch wrote Scott, in an apparent reference to election denialism after Trump’s loss....

Gotta love Mother Fucker Carlson!!!

Beneficiary of enormous wealth from the Swanson frozen dinners sale to Campbell Soup, this San Francisco born rebel likes to pretend he is one of the people and feels their suffering under Democrat rule.

Fuck him.

Fuck his whole family.

Fuck Trump.

Fuck Fox.

Huh?

Carlson is a bad guy because he despises Donald Trump? Because he comes from a rich family? Because he was born in San Francisco?

WTF?

A woman was shot and killed.  But you don't care because she is someone with whom you disagree.  I respect all life; when a guilty person loses their life, I wish that the crime never had been committed.  I take no joy in retribution.  

 

You are a gross Racist Fascist.

But honestly, I'm just a liar, and I don't care about anyone but myself.  I take joy in retribution by my God King Donald J. Trump.

FTFY.

If you'd like a reason why Tucker's an absolute cretin, check out his college yearbook.  He listed himself as a member of the Dan White Society.

Problem with that is, there's no such thing as the Dan White Society.  Dan White is the man who assassinated Harvey Milk.  He was just dogwhistling his support for killing gay people.

Oh, please.

Not everyone can be politically correct all their lives as you claim to be.

Being tasteless and dumb in college.

Woo hoo...

Absolutely nothing about his politics has moved even remotely to the left since he left college.  He's the same guy now as he was then.

But you're a huge piece of shit so why would I care

Who ever said you would?

So what?

You have no principles.

Your victim complex excuses you from that responsibility.

And I couldn't care less

I don't care for Trump the person myself, but he was a bigger champion for the American people, and a better president than anyone I've seen in my lifetime

LOL!!!
