Earlier today, Fox “News” announced that it is parting ways with Tucker Carlson — its most popular prime-time host.
- Now, Fox could replace Carlson with someone even more racist, spiteful, and obnoxious.
- Or Carlson could end up shopping his “talents” — and millions of followers — to a rival network like Newsmax (somewhere that is, believe it or not, even more reactionary and propagandistic than Fox).
- Or something more resembling an actual news outlet could hire Carlson in a misguided effort to cover “both sides” (and to boost its ratings).
But, in and of itself, reducing the reach of Tucker Carlson — a leading purveyor of white supremacism, cultural grievance, and neo-fascism — is good for America and the world.
Tell Tucker Carlson:
Good riddance. You have gotten rich peddling lies, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and cultural grievance. You have hurt untold numbers of people and made our country worse. Just go away now.
Add your name.
Thanks for taking action.
For progress,
- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
