Newly released recordings of Tucker Carlson — the third set made public in as many days — feature the prominent Fox News host joking about having sex with a teenage beauty pageant contestant. In the tapes, Carlson also makes a series of sexist, misogynist and cruel remarks about the young woman, who was a contestant in a 2007 Miss Teen USA competition. . . . The unearthed audio is the latest in a series of tumultuous revelations that began Sunday, when Media Matters released audio of Carlson degrading women and flippantly discussing child rape in old radio interviews. On Monday, the group published more audio, this time revealing racist and homophobic remarks he made on the same radio program, which he apparently called in to for an hour every week.
Carlson labels critics a “mob” and refuses to apologize for or even disown comments which include calling Iraqis ““semiliterate primitive monkeys" and women “primative.”
This comes in the wake of Fox News management issuing a slap on the wrist, but leaving on the air, Jeanine Pirro after her grotesque and un-American accusation regarding Rep. Ilan Omar (R-Minn.) “Think about it: Omar wears a hijab,” Pirro said. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”
While a Muslim producer on Bret Baier’s news show admonished Pirro, we’ve yet to hear denunciations let alone calls from for these figures to be taken off the air ,from the “straight news” anchors who complained about Fox’s ostracism from Democratic debates.

Yes. She is exactly right.
And they succeeded with O’Reilly, among others.
While Ted may not be the purist’s favorite conservative, he did have the number one cable show for nearly fifteen consecutive years on the left’s most hated network.
I recently switched to FIOS and have watched OAN for the first time, makes Fox look like just another outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda.
“I recently switched to FIOS and have watched OAN for the first time”
We’re on DirecTV, and watch OAN and Newsmax a LOT. I wish there were some way they could take off and provide some real competition for Fox. We especially like Liz Wheeler on “Tipping Point”; she’s a genius.
Fox stole away at least two OAN chicks over the last couple years, Tomi Lahren (whom I can live without), and Stephanie Hamill. I hope Liz W. isn’t courted by Fox, although I doubt she’d go there; she seems to be more principled.
I recall one of the things they are using is Tucker talking about a 16 year old getting married, and how that should not be considered statutory rape.
In most states sex with a 16 yr old is legal.
