I am sure Tucker's writer was a keyboard warrior for racial injustice.; Let's also remember that there are many keyboard warriors who are racist..hence: mute white people..and Holocaust deniers... All are equally unacceptable.

He is such an embarrassment to what real reporters were many years ago. Walter Cronkite must be turning in his grave.

He condemned him on-air last night. Jeez.

GsPrichard It was funny not racist.

NPR...one of the most hypocritical of the liberal leftist media. 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' finished the quarter as the highest-rated program in cable news history

B*tch please, why acting surprised? The media including acts like they don’t know who in journalism is a KKK fanatic. They are all friends, the guy will get a job with NBCNews MSNBC or cnnbrk they recycled the same idiots, all of Trump’s idiots found other jobs asap

I call b*llsh*t on NPR

TuckerCarlson we all know that they were probably doing each other. Homophobes are scared gays afraid to come out. Anyone that took a freshman course in psychology knows that.

You mean they didn’t promote him?!

'I abhor his views which I only coincidentally parroted on TV without using the N-word.'

The vitriol the writer displayed is equivalent to the racism shown by BLM, MSM and the Democrat party. Tucker's writer had to quit while the media, BLM and Democrats get to say equal or worse about white people with impunity. war

nnnanceee Who is Tucker Carson?

If you have a fourth grade education you read something from a racist and homophobic idiot and you broadcasted on that national news you are as just as stupid and guilty as he is of spreading hate that would be Tucker Carlson and anybody who work for Fox News.

Left wing lunatics can’t handle the truth.

10 bucks says Tucker uses the Ron Burgundy defense in the swan song tonight. I only read what is on the TelePrompTer. Tucker Carlson: what a douche

They don't like the TRUTH

He’s been co-signed by racists David Puke and Richard Spencer. Tucker shoulda been off the air a long time ago.

Hmmm... I never thought I’d see this, a picture of Carlson describing his erection.

I don't know what he's measuring with that finger gesture, but you can be sure he's exaggerating.

Don’t they watch his show? It’s very clear what he and his writers believe.

I want to say Tucker if I was your mother I would be ultimately ashamed of you May the lord cleanse your soul you poor man thinking that you have the right to disgrace a ear and call her a coward . FOR SHAME FOR SHAME

Why is he showing us how small his penis is ?

This is the best you have in him? Weak

Enough with this dude and his Ken doll hair

and yet tucker carlson reads the script as written

Like tRump he will double down never admit guilt never apologize and attack his accusers. That is the the tRump credo.

I, for one, will not be listening to his bullshit..

You’d have thought he would have been promoted for that there.

He is disgusting

I always thought TuckerCarlson was racist , but it turns out it was just his writer! I'm sure the tone of the show will change completely now that he's gone.

I'm sure he knew about it, he kept it quiet because he's just as racist and homophobic.

B.s.

lildickytweets this you?

Are you telling me that the guy who calls women 'extremely primitive,' casually throws around the c-word, and downplays the monstrosity of child rape might be a bit problematic? I'm shocked. Shocked!

These people and Fox “news” are absolutely a major part of why we have become this laughing stock of a fractured country. They don’t care, Murdoch doesn’t care, so I have no faith that this is legitimate.

Is this a pic of tucker describing trump’s penis?

Republicans are seriously considering a presidential run from him in 2024. Yet another reason the current GOP must be voted out.

Kind of like your reporters who agree to interview topics and then ignore the agreement?

I am just waiting for a class action lawsuit from people who are avid Fox watchers who have lost a loved one from COVID. Would love to see the whole propaganda network shut down. How I miss the fairness doctrine.

Mama says it isn't even that BIG!

Why not ask Willie Geist? He was Tucker's producer for a long time. Why has Willie been silent?

Couldn't care less about whatever he has to say. Have never watched the show, and I won't watch him lie about it today. Life is too short to waste time listening to a racist spew his hate.

At least he didn’t post homophobic comments and providing a foolish excuse like Joy Reid who got promoted afterwards

I'll bet he somehow blames it on Hillary.

Tucker must go!!!

We should dig a hole and bury fox news. It's rotten and it stinks

I really don’t care, do you? We already know that Tucker C is the worst kind of dishonest, racist, deplorable human. The fact that someone who writes his copy is as well is not startling.

NOW there's going to be 'scrutiny' of Fox News/Carlson and this gang of Rupert Murdoch's demagogues? Well, at least this fits the 'New' NPR's bothsiderism.

BREAKING: Man who writes racist character nightly is a racist.

Imagine an America where Foxnews didn't brainwash the uneducated for 25 years......

In other news, Typhoid Mary will address the controversy over whether to wash your hands or not.

I’ve never watched any of the Fox programming (literally) and after reading this I am glad. Talk about throwing up in your mouth everyday! There is a percentage of women tuning in to hear this garbage one assumes-WTAF is wrong with them?

Really, Fox is scrutinizing him? The rest of

Why do you hate Jews. Do you even know one? Less than .01 percent of the global population. Focus on corrupt Arab leaders exploiting Palestinians and Arabs in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon- educate yourself! Advice from one Palestinian

Why, we already know who he is!

Judging people by the actions of others, their parents, children, friends and especially their ancestors is always the best policy.

Turns out you do know some people who think white supremacy is a good idea

Guaranteed that TC will claim tonight that attacks on him because of his 1 writer’s abhorrence make him a victim of left wing cancel culture.

Why is he still there.

TuckerCarlson is just like his top writer. Listen to his show, this man is full of hate.

Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s jet 21 times in three years—and you fools are worried about someone’s assistant.

This only further emboldens him as his ratings climb and Cult of Trump swoons.

If TuckerCarlson has to spend ANYtime explaining why his statements On Air are distinct/distinguishable from the opinions harbored by BlakeNeff (his top writer) it’s problematic! Whether INSIDIOUS or OVERT, he’s STILL spouting racism & there’s NO excusing it FireTuckerCarlson

Hahahahahah is that a joke? Fox non news....banned in Europe...Gee why is that?

Ask anyone who attended DragonsofSG class of 86 about TuckerCarlson. You will hear anti-Semitic stories.

No one is more racist than the liberal-left

Carlson is simply what happens when the entertainment of the ignorant is filled by capitalism. You don't attempt to educate, improve or get them to think... you just play to their racism, bigotry, conspiracy theories, insecurities, and fears.

Fox is trash finally being called out

Listen to the liberals echo...Echo....ECHO. The party of science and educated parrots anything they hear.

I didn’t know the guy who wrote my stuff and that I worked next to was that way...

Is Tucker telling us the size of his pecker here? Asking for a friend.....

NPR = DNC

Omg, let’s hope it didn’t influence their editorial line. Oh, that’s where he got it from, okkaayyy

This should be interesting. How will he pretend to be upset about this while not alienating his base who agree with the writer. 🤔

JustSaying

This is just one media company going after another.

This is a bit of a chicken before the egg conondrum. not hecanhearhimselfright?

Maybe they could review some of the dumb shit the 'five' and 'friends' say also.

.TuckerCarlson is a disgrace to thinking people everywhere. He’s a racist misogynistic propagandist who knows what he’s doing. FireTuckerCarlson and give him a 2 week guest stay (free) in an ICE cage.

Just what is there to address? His words whether written for him or not expose it all

He’s a top writer... but you don’t know if he wrote tickets monologues or not..wait until tucker addresses it before pointing fingers!

JustSaying

NPR is shill propaganda as usual, everything the writer said was factual.

He's going to blame the Democrats hahaha

Think he'll cry?

What's wrong with being racist? 🤔

Ken tears coming right up..... whatever he says will be gaslighting, lies, deceit, and self-promoting. Ergo, it won’t be worth listening to him babble away.

You do not boycott Carlson, you boycott any advertiser who spends any money on FoxNews. DestroyFoxNews

And he will say he knew nothing.

Time for NPR to look at its own, daily racist content.

That there is no way you will give up your white supremacist and neo-Nazi creed anytime soon TuckerCarlson and foxnews?🤔

His head writer. Who writes with him and for him is a racist. HOW would Tucker not be one?

They hire the vile to feed the vile. All know what he is, he is exactly what gets their daily feed on that tv station

What could he actually say to fix it

Fox and Disney are terrorists gay cult belongs to abu arabia

Prediction: “I’m the least racist person I know. I have black friends.”

For democracy to work, there should be a platform for racists and bigots. And that’s FOX NEWS.

If he’s guilty by association, then all of Harve Weinstein”s friends are rapists. That’s Mostly POWERFUL DEMOCRATS by the way. And everyone that flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane is a Pedophile, that’s MOST DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS and a lot of Hollywood Elites.

Still a 1,000X more credible than NPR.

Breaking News: Fox News harbours racists, misogynists, and bigots of all types 😴😴😴

No! You mean Faux news host has associated with racists? Can’t be! Oh, the horror! What’s next? That there are real misogynist working there? Will wonders ever cease to exist?!

this article is banking on the idea that no one reading it has watched his show (Doubtful considering it’s bringing in more viewers than any show ever). Because it’s not racist, or homophobic. It’s honest. It’s revealing. I imagine he will condemn this writer without holding back

Too bad, he does make some really good arguments and points sometimes

The hit pieces keep coming...

Tucker is awesome.

When I looked at the photo my first thought was it was Tucker showing us the size of his prick...

Fox will cover for him as usual. Carlson is a bottom feeder, who found the bottom at Fox.

He is announcing they are changing their name to the Washington Tucker Carlsons

the filth that’s been festering for years unchecked , wait it’s a actually a multi-century investment, w national free fall as pay out

“Revelation” 🤣🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄

Tucker Carlson hangs out with racists?! I think I just shit my pants. I am that surprised. No, not really.

Picture is him showing us how long his pecker is 😂😂

Fire him- enough lies! FireTuckerCarlson

...NICE picture.

A group of real Chinese patriot scientists risked their lives and escaped from the CCP territory. They are working with western intelligence agencies to unveil the truth and save the world.....

Cool now do Joy Reid

Defund NPR

Look to you're own news broadcasters on the night of the 2016 presidential elections Live on PBS after Trump won. The bias and disbelief was ridiculous.

Fire him.

Fox, fire this small minded, racist little man. FireTuckerCarlson

What most people need to understand is that the type of journalism expected by news outlets like , CNN, MSNBC, etc, is not an interpretation of the facts, especially not conclusions, but the actual facts. Facts that citizens should interpret themselves.

TuckerCarlson is a breath of fresh air - unafraid to be different than the MSM. The MSM who is perfectly happy labeling an entire race of people as “white supremacists”, privileged, and racist for no reason other than their skin color.

Tucker needs to be run out of town. Shut his ass down.

Looking forward to Monday night. Wondering if he will still have that smug look on his face....?

Isn’t that pretty much what Tucker does on the air?

I see record breaking views for TuckerCarlson on Monday dontapologize StandUpForAmerica

Man, people have been calling this; media gunning for Tucker.

'Address the controversy' .. this used to involve solemn talk at the start of a program, stating apologies and asking for forgiveness. We're about to see what this insane new world is like - it will be full of reasons to dismiss and the blame game.

Tucker is courageous and dish's truth to both left and right. For this he must be shut down.

Ah, did Tucker hurt someone’s feelings? Leftists are so juvenile

One writer was _caught_ at it. Can any reasonable person believe it was isolated and that it wasn’t widely known and encouraged? Such thinking is probably the reason he was hired in the first place.

Caption....But tRump is only about this big.

Tucker was aware unless he is dummer than I think .. he is like trump blames everyone else

This is such a crock of shit. Has nothing to do with the writer. This is all about CNN fakenews trying to get rid of TuckerCarlson

Who cares

COVID-19 is rapidly killing off FOX NEWS devotees. Just hang in there, folks.

He knew

That is how big it is? So she gotta do, find a good size immigrant one ?

Wow, Tucker’s scriptwriter turned out to be a racist, elitist douche. The last time I was this shocked is when I found out that Jesse Jackson’s speechwriter was a black dude.

The people who care don’t watch him & the people who watch him don’t care

I am shocked, Tucker?!

Breaking news!!! Tucker finally tells the truth about something - the size of his di€k!

I'm afraid to watch this as Carlson might try to be the belief less contrarian that he is and some how defend him.

He’ll have a crazy story...didn’t know him

You mean those weren’t qualifications to get hired on at Fox News. Huh. Could have fooled me.

Oh. I’ll have to set my PVR NOT

Tucker: Barely knew him. He just was a supplier of white sheets with holes in them.

From the Leftist Lexicon: 'Bigoted' means does not genuflect and kowtow to my own narrow minded world view. Keep up the fantastic work, Tucker Carlson!

Not really a “revelation”

I’m not actually a racist, I just read a racists words from a teleprompter every night in front of millions of people.... I don’t even need to watch his “address” 🙄

Oh, this won't be a shitshow, nope.

He has been saying racist shit for years

Bill Bars fathers book

It’s no sudden revelation that Tucker Carlson’s “commentaries” are just barely-prettied-up white nationalism.

No one mentions how the tweeter's identity came to light. Why is that glossed over in this story?

Is anyone surprised

Would be a service to civil society if TuckerCarlson were cancelled.

Fox must fire Carlson. He is a bully boy coward leading the Red Hats over the cliff. But then, that is what Fox represents and endorses. Day in day out. And America is weaker for it.

FUCK TuckerCarlson

Birds of a feather-

🙄right. We will see.

There’s ONE news outlet with a different perspective from the rest of the homogenous media, and OF COURSE you can’t stand for that. Keep trying to take him down, you friggin fascists

Go after your own racists writers NPR before you accuse others. You guys threw Travis Smiley under the bus for not toeing your woke agenda and daring to criticize Obama.

NPR=Nice Polite Republicans. Shame to see what NPR has become. gpbnews mygpb has been unlistenable for several years now.

I hope he goes all in on it. This will be the only time I’ve ever wanted to hear him speak.

Remember when he defended Warren Jeffs on a Bubba the Love Sponge radio segment?

Wake me when Fox News loses their broadcast license.

Um duh?

Yet democrat racist past gets a pass by NPR’s liberal activists. It’s racism when liberals say it’s racism. Minorities, these people aren’t on our side. They played us for fools. They call us amigos but behind our backs call the police.

we stand with tucker, period.....it is time to do battle

You never stopped your scrutiny. Every day is a pogrom for conservatives at NPR. Drive them out!

And remember, this is Trump’s top TV adviser and influencer... it’s all we need to know.

Like he didn’t know.

CalThunderSnow I'm sure we can expect the same thorough and insightful attention to the controversy as he gives every other subject.

Elections will come and go. Same with the diseases will come and go but the only thing is Human Being once gone will be forever not coming back, so care for your fellow human beings. It is the only essence of life. Live and let others live peacefully. Help if you can the needy.

Tucker's not-so-veiled racist commentary was actually written by a smarmy little coward who is openly racist when he thinks he's anonymous. WHAT. A. SURPRISE.

yes,yes, there're racist, sexist and homophobic every where in your eyes. You just don't like people to tell the trueth and people who have common sense.

He isn't showing us how big his IQ his in that picture...

$10 says he throws a man tantrum

Let me guess, he had no idea this was happening and he's appalled blah blah blah. More lies incoming. Also, who is this 'top writer' anyway hiding behind his racist, sexist, posts?

Carlson and FOX deserve scrutiny. A great deal of scrutiny.

Would Fox News hire David Duke as a commentator? If not, then why is Tucker Carlson on the air?

Well, it is The White Racist Show.

IStandWithTucker

It's cool NPR got this pic of Tucker showing us how big he is.

Whether Tucker read smut that was written for him or used his own words, it matters not; he made a deplorably unwise choice and should be held accountable for His Deplorable Actions! Find another career; surely, the low-life, WH Con-Man-in-Chief will give him a job!

'Tucker reveals that he only approved of the script but didn't write it' - Tomorrow's headline

Lol, no. The controversy never stopped. It's still the same. It's been constant. it's his form of word-of-mouth advertising.

Kymon5 Because there are two sides to racism, right, NPR?

As ifcTucker hasn't been shilling for the same cause.

OOOhhh NPR you really need to get defunded.

Tucker should be fired or he should resign..FOX NEWS can do better.....

I wonder who will write his fake outrage..cant wait to not watch it. Fuck fox nooze

Carlson's been a scumbag for a long time.

“Don't just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.” -Joyce Meyer

“I... fully support everything he said. Goodnight.”

See my shocked face? Not.

Why would NPR tweet it out this way - like a promo? Carlson has vocal cords now and could respond now, but he's going to respond on Monday, during his show, to 'own the libs,' ridicule straight media like NPR, boost ratings, etc. Why so ingenuous?

Oh, so No One is Allowed to Not Like Gays or Blacks or anyone else? We All MUST LOVE and ACCEPT Everyone? Bull CACA. I suppose with that thinking we must all love Murderers and druggies and rapist too? I Do not like everyone and I do not Apologize.

so is he going to blame Obama or Biden?

I wonder how many lawyers are working on that statement.

Revelation, Capt Obvious

So many gaslights about to light up we'll see them from space.

Sweeet!

In other news the sky is blue

Bullshit. Everything that doesn’t toss Marxist salad is ‘racist’, ‘sexist’, ‘homophobic’, etc. This hand has been more than overplayed.

Come on. Look at this pic! It's captionpalooza. I can't be the only one thinking it.

Tuck will be shocked, saddened, terribly sorry, heartbroken, blah, blah blah

Why stop now?

Why does anyone advertise on this man’s show? Or on Fox News. Any business that advertises on FOX is a supporter of racism.

“Revelation?” It wasn’t a revelation if you watched this nonsense...

$20 says Carlson says something racist while trying to say he isn't racist.

Nothing he could say will help, unless he says he’s resigning.

At the New York Times, they just hire such people on as editors. So, what's the problem here?

He should resign.

Please, don't tune in. Don't give him the satisfaction of ratings. We already know he's a racist.

Fox Viewers.

This isn't entirely shocking. That's what the show is

While Fox News immediately fired the offending individual, Joy Reid and Al Sharpton are still employed by NBC. I wonder why NPR is not interested in those stories?

I'm shocked!!! TuckerCarlson has writers? I thought they used a room full of monkeys with typewriters... racist monkeys. 😎

Let me guess... he had NO idea!!! As shocked if not MORE shocked than anyone! 🙄

Tucker Carlson hiring racists is so...not shocking.

Fuck right off

'i just read what the guy wrote for me. for years. i'm not racist.'

Why give this racist another platform? Glad he is off the air.

These weren’t just racist posts. They were extremely racist. It gives an insight into the show itself.

When is NPR going to address their inherent bigotry? Y'all literally posted a bigoted article about Middle Class Whites this evening. Hypocrites Libertarianism is not Racism.

I'm sure he'll dismiss it as 'naughty' talk, like he did when Trump was recorded admitting that he sexually assaulted women.

This what happens when you have more viewers than any of the left’s prime time broadcasts combined.

Why is that when Americans see discrimination in plain site, they let it slide because the bigot hasn't used the trigger words like N-word or fagg*t?

I Do Not Accept Leftists’ Definitions Of Racism Sexism Gayism Etc...

Unless he is also going to resign, no one wants to hear anything from him.
