Tucker Carlson has a long history of making racist and controversial statements as a primetime host on Fox News.

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no"reasonable viewer" takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously, a new court filing said.

Story continuesIt added that Fox News"submits that the use of that word or an accusation of extortion, absent more, is simply 'loose, figurative, or hyperbolic language' that does not give rise to a defamation claim." McDougal made headlines in 2018 when it surfaced that Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime lawyer and fixer, had arranged for American Media Inc., the owner of the tabloid the National Enquirer, to pay her $150,000 for her story that she had an affair with Trump in 2006. AMI purchased but never published McDougal's story to shield Trump in the weeks before the 2016 election, a practice known as"catch and kill.

GloriaPaulsen When has propaganda inciting violence and bigotry ever been directed towards 'reasonable viewers'?

Unfortunately, all of his viewers are not reasonable

WHY IS YAHOO SO FAR LEFT Verizon BOYCOTTVERIZON

Admitting your viewers aren’t reasonable is an interesting move.

SO WHAT DOES THAT REALLY SAY ABOUT FoxNews VIEWERS? THOUGHTS?

Yeah, that’s why all of the progressive liberals are trying to get him removed from FOX News. Progressive liberals look to censor people who expose the truth. They prefer to keep their democrat voters ignorant so they can manipulate them. WalkAwayFromDemocratsForever

😂 For once FAUX told the truth 😂

That’s not what they argued though. They argued that no “reasonable viewer” would take those particular comments he made seriously. No “reasonable viewer” would take hyperbole or sarcasm as factual information.

So why the hell is he still on air?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

That’s true but 40% of Americans aren’t reasonable viewers

Problem is, people do.

You just posted this untrue article. Yahoo isn't biased though.

Ow, that had to smart. LOL
