Fox News: Tucker Carlson writer Blake Neff resigns over racist messages

A top writer for Fox News host Tucker Carlson has resigned after posting racist and sexist comments online..

There were many posts under the pseudonym including derogatory comments African-Americans, Asian-Americans and women. The posts came to light after CNN received a tip-off that CharlesXII was in fact Mr Neff. They were able to identify him by matching up content in his messages with publicly available information about him."Neff's abhorrent conduct on this forum was never divulged to the show or the network until Friday, at which point we swiftly accepted his resignation," the network said in an internal memo.

For his BS he needs a writer ?!?

The Scape goat and escape Tucker Carlson.

Is this what constitutes 'horrendous and deeply offensive' language nowadays? I see worse on twitter all the time. Feels like a CNN takedown of the competition.

Reporters need to stop asking racists like TuckerCarlson whether he knew and instead ask him what he thinks it is about him that attracts such malignant racists who are so comfortable with who he is he can ‘unknowingly’ employ them for YEARS with never a crossed word.

Nah he was got at for being very effective now fk off.

Why a picture of Tucker and not the person resigning?

Imagine how racist you must be to get fired from Tucker Carlson's show for racism.

Say WHAT! You mean someone actually wrote that stuff. I thought he just rants freestyle.

“Bbc news UK”

Mother Tucker

Here we go yet again BBC, incessant!!

Watching motd last night and when players were taking the knee it looked like a few black players were making the ' black power sign ' surely this is wrong and they should be censured for it.

Typical BBC smear job, the writer is solely responsible for his own actions. The beeb is clearly trying to smear Carlson by association just another example of lazy journalism and overt political bias. DefundTheBBC

Tucker Carlson is a bigot. Blames his writer. You can decide not to say something.

Pity 10DowningStreet writer Dom Cummings doesnt have the same morals.. Well as a Paid up member of the AnrachoCommunust union, we will see him resign when he gets on the Russian Sub with his saving book...presumably somewhere off Barnard's Castle during the next lockdown...

Right. So when does Pucker Gnarlson resign over his racist messages? TuckerCarlson

Never heard of her or him

How is this a BBC UK news story?

The most surprising thing about this is that someone was paid to write the sh1t that Tucker Carlson presents - now that’s something you couldn’t make up!

He said black doods who play COD are probably keeping the crime rate down....

Facebook have not removed this racist violent divisive post by the far right czech group SDP

Whenever I read/hear about Tucker I always think of that episode of Breaking Bad when Jesse digs the hole.

I came here for UK news as this is BBC UK news Twitter. What has this to do with the UK?

Are we expected to be surprised?

It is amusing to see which news stories you highlight from the USA. How about a white woman killed by a BLM supporters for saying all lives matter.

Fox isn't news. It's just a scam to deceive ignorant Americans into accepting a weaker safety net and lesser say in the economy than their counterparts have in nearly every other high income country by keeping their attention on 'culture' issues.

“We at Fox News do not tolerate this behavior. Mr. Neff should have been turning those racist and sexist ideas into show segments, not posting them for free online.”

Look at all the vile hatred the BBC and its staff say about white people. Have you apologised yet for your racist karen video the other day?

the whole R/W cabal, trump Putin McConnell along with their acolytes such as Caine, Stewart and co, needs to be investigated economically, socially and politically. they have got away with their evil intent for far too long.

If you actually read the posts Neff made, none of them were racist, although sometimes he was responding to racist posts made by others in a casual manner.

Has he not got a mind of his own ?Probably not !

BBC, Why are you taxing the over 75s and 'Don't' blame the government, YOU made the decision. You are a disgrace and put money before the people.

Who is Neff? Fox News is US not UK Not news DefundTheBBC

Fox you say? Never!

Now where is Tucker Carlson going to find another racist to write his show?

Damn! At first glance I thought it was Carlson who was forced to resign.

Thanks for promoting TuckerCarlson He’s a great man. 👍🏼👍🏼

Why don't you have Blake Neff's pic up there BBC? HE is the person who posted the racist messages on his down time, not Tucker Carlson.

And yet Tucker Carlson still there. Should have gotten rid of both.

Tucker Carlson is not any better than Blake Neff. In fact, he is worse.

Fox News boss racist... who would have seen this coming ... any other reasons why they support Trump? 😂

How was what he wrote offensive? It was merely an honest observation of a group behaviour. The anti-racist witch hunts are mostly conducted by lily-white “woke”commissars who presume to speak for minorities. Paternalistic do-gooders.

Considering Fox News supports right wing politics in US, is this the reason you feel the need to report on this? It’s not our news & there have been far worse anti white comments made by BLM who U support, than what the article reports. mediascum hyprocrates strikes again.

BBC reports about this racism, but not the racist murder of a white women by BLM that leaves a 3 year old without a mother. BBC is leftest garbage media.

Coronavirus latest news: WHO says airborne transmission research 'urgently needed'The World Health Organisation's new coronavirus guidelines acknowledge some reports of airborne transmission, but stop short of confirming that the virus spreads through the air. Yawn. What is urgently needed is for the Covid idiocy to stop. Just a few months late, good try WHO Utter nonsense. If it wasn’t ‘airborne’ 6 months ago it can’t be now. It can’t change in that respect. Some droplets are bigger and heavier than others. That’s it, although for control freak politicians they’ll attempt for it not to be.
