We should be outraged by Fox and its apologists
The Washington Compost ^ | MARCH 13, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 03/13/2019 7:00:08 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Obviously, Fox is doing a pretty good job if the Washington Post-truth Periodical is upset.

So hypocritical of anyone on the left to suddenly become choirboy applicants to work for Joel Osteen. C’mon.

For good or bad the left had giggled over Howard Stern and supposedly humorous threats made by all the obscene late night hosts (called “comics”) and the gory severed head of Trump gags and rappers’ threats against Melania and all the rest.

Their panels have more bleeped-out words than guffaw inducing jokes.

Now they expect us to think they are saintly? And deeply offended and brought to tears by Tucker Carlson’s decades old humor?
BS.

Read the story but confused that the WP didn’t show the example of Carlson sexually abusing beauty contestants.

Bet we can go through ALL entertainment and press videos of Leftist doing a lot more than makes jokes about sex.

How about slandering stories of teenager Catholic boys, murdering the duly elected president and plotting to overthrow the same?

The gavitas of the network news and the press is at an all timme low when the National Enquirer of has more credibility.

Meanwhile they print almost verbatim the Media Matters press releases, who have their own apologists.

“..released audio of Carlson degrading women and flippantly discussing child rape in old radio interviews.”

Child rape? Really? If The washPo can’t produce a tape where Tucker brags about raping a child, Tucker Carson should sue the bastards for every dime they have!

They always leave out the part where Carlson was actually doing shtick for ‘Bubba the Love Sponge’. The kind of tasteless humor that libs love when libs do it. Context.

I always love it when the MSM and other people who work in the realm of free speech and free press start lecturing us about the evils of such things and suggesting that those ideas should be limited.

I am kind of outraged that Fox did not back up Judge Jeanine.
Telling the truth about Islam isn’t even allowed on Fox.

So he wasn’t bragging about raping a child? The way the liberals are reporting it Tucker raped a child.

Doesn’t the Washington Post have a pending 250 million defamation lawsuit?

Actually, I’m more outraged by the Washington Compost (the Bezos Bugle, Pravda on the Potomac). Of course it’s becoming easier and easier to ignore it, as its circulation approaches zero. I dropped it soon after 9/11 when their eds recommended a halt of operations in Afghanistan to observe Rama-lama-ding-dong. Used to have a decent sports section. Not any more.

The day I take moral advice from the Washington Post is the day I invite Bill Clinton to drive my wife to a bra fitting.
