Gee. What a shock. Right wingers posting anonymous racist comments online like cowards.

Just room for one racist per show

Oh lordy my heart skipped a beat. The lack of the possessive “Carlson’s” caused me to skip over “writer” and read “Tucker Carlson resigns”

Condemn all they want but is anyone 'shocked' that such a one is found wallowing around at Fox Propaganda Outlet.

When will liberals be fired for what they say on their own time? Start With Don Lemon. He hates White people.

This should remind people that Tucker Carlson is just a TV personality. He has writers. The things that he says are lines from a script. A script written by someone with disturbingly racist and misogynist views. Now if someone could just inform the President, that'd be great.

Another White brother, kicked in the teeth for doing nothing wrong. I guess the black agenda is to silent White Voices, and White Voices Matter.

Shocker

Tucker could never get his lines straight, the writer needed a better mouth piece...

Good...this is one of the few sources for truth in the media. Keep up the good work TuckerCarlson

So BlakeOff?

Tucker speaks truth...haters can’t handle the truth! God said in the last days they will have ears and not hear and eyes and not see...

OH MY GOD!! Someone from FOX NEWS is a racist AND a biggot!! HOW COULD THIS GO UNNOTICED

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.

They found out when Tucker read the writers racist script on air....for years.

Shame! Horrendous and deeply offensive comments are only okay if you're getting paid millions of dollars to say them in front of a camera.

As proven again, not all trump supporters are racist, but all racists are trump supporters.

NeoNazis!

I know I saved this for a reason.

Whether racist BlakeNeff RESIGNED or NOT, people at FoxNewsisRacist were aware of the ongoing posts and condoned his behavior/words! Neff & the corrupt TRUMP News Station are going to be sued, regardless! TRUMP ADMIN IS COMPRISED OF FOX EMPLOYEES! HINT!

Keep the writer and fire the bigot who employed him

Yeah, I’m sure they’re totally shocked and never had a clue. sarcasm

Fox By Nature, we aren't interested in the foot soldiers behind the scenes🙄. It's the ones on camera that are problematic, with their misogynistic & racist views🤐!

Racism on FOX? During Cucker? How surprising.

Fox was so outraged they let him resign 🙄

.TuckerCarlson said foreigners make USA dirty and dangerous; and he got away with it! His low life writer gets fired by FoxNews for saying less.

Tucker Carlson can read?!

😂 Who cares? Hollywood’s daughterofZion Amy Pascale is an avowed racist. So is Ted Danson. So is Howard Stern. But they have Jewish privilege &are protected. Tucker’s writer Was no worse in comparison. BoycottDisney realDonaldTrump AnnCoulter TuckerCarlson realDonaldTrump

How about Tucker’s offensive statements and lies? Why hasn’t he been fired?

So, let’s see these comments. We can judge by ourselves if only it’s not provided by “Anonymous sources”, then of course it is a top secret. I’ll understand. Otherwise people over here going nuts. Some guys even want to have sex with our President. It’s crazy.

SymoneTV They will never learn

Excuse me, would someone please post sponsors of TuckerCarlson, in case we don’t want to support who they’re supporting?! 🤗🇺🇸

Since when did Fox News make their sexism and racism secret?

Not really surprised

Don’t they promote you for that at Fox?

Now CNN and all the other fake news outlets should admit their political bias and ties to DNC. Waiting.............

Deeply offensive... Fox fired someone for being... Deeply offensive....

He needs a writer for the stuff he is saying on tv..?!

Did he say all lives matter, or was it that the virus came from China? I don’t know what he said, but anything Conservative is considered hate speech.

Is this seriously a surprise to anyone?

Not really a secret when they're writing for Tucker Carlson.

No surprise. What other type would old Tucker hire?

So they'll only condemn racism if it's not on the clock & making them money? 😂

He's been getting his message out through Tucker for a long time. And Fox knew.

Yet Tucker remains? Then they haven't actually done anything to stop it!

My psychiatrist tells patients to turn all-things-Fox off, because of the irreparable harm they’re causing. Sure, CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the MSM just suck for facts and truth, but Fox is literally killing its own viewers and thinning the republican voters. CancelFox

Good and next onwards and upwards with more fakenews

Clearly, “racism” is the best card the radical Democrats hold and strategically use when they’re losing.

Racism is endemic in our society. Don't sit this out, & be complicit in racism. Do something. Stop systemicracism. Sign the petition to form a US Truth and Reconciliation Commission USTRC

All day long they do it.

Please don't use the word 'news' with the word Fox . . . Fox is not news; it is propaganda

The really interesting thing that I learned is that Carlson is just an actor, reading lines (he has a staff of writers). No pretense of being a journalist. He's just playing a role. Who knows what he personally believes. It's all a con.

Good deal

Resigned? We already know they’re all racists so what’s the news?

FoxNews executives are responsible for countless atrocities to the well-being of the US, including now, Covid deaths of thousands of Americans .. A conscience? I think not. TuckerCarlson FoxNews propaganda Murdoch extremism.

FoxNews and TuckerCarlson knew all about it and didn't care until they got called out. Carlson mirrors this Incel's views 100%

TuckerCarlson should be removed. He is just as bad FoxNews fox keeping him is harming people

Why would anyone watch a guy who bases his show on reading what was written for the day if he didn't write it anyway? Tucker... third rate!

Tucker has to support this guy publicly.

FOX Noise writers are racist?! No way. Would have never guessed that.

Secretly? We’ve watched the show

Next up racists discovered in white supremacist group

Fox News with racist and sexist writers?!!

FoxNews What a bunch of BS. Your whole primetime cast is filled with racist and sexist remarks. You guys have just as much blood on your hands as Trump. You should be sued for every penny!

Is this cancel culture?

What were the comments? CNN lie and exaggerate to push their narrative.

He will have a job with either Steven Miller or OANN—-so no worries for him—-

Hahahahahaha. Fox News: 'Our racism is a bit more sophisticated and nuanced.'

Can anyone say they are surprised by this? If so explain why it is surprising.

Basically he got caught.

We heard it. Now move no fake news

Ok so when are they going to confront the real issues ?

(in Gomer Pyle’s voice) SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Anybody surprised?

That’s loyal. Losing your job to cover for Carlson’s anonymous online rants.

Is that secretly in quotations?

I’d be interested to hear what his comments are. Apparently saying you want strong border patrol makes you a Nazi these days.

I’m not speaking about Tucker’s top writer. I haven’t read his comments so I can’t judge. All I know is that they are after Tucker because he beat all records of viewers’ ratings. Companies tried silencing him by not advertising on his show. It did nothing to him.

Tucker is no different

Yeah I think they were just as shocked when Bill O’Reilly was fired.

But yet allowed him to write his shit and put it on TV every freaking night

Only his?

Was the issue they had more that it was a conflict of interest to be producing elsewhere? They never had an issue with their head writer writing misogynistic, homophobic and racist content for their own network.

Have they watched a Tucker Carlson broadcast lately?

Carlson literally makes offensive and horrendous comments on a daily basis. It’s so hilarious the lip service companies give. Faux is the absolute worse.

I’m offended by the violent Marxist Democrat’s clear agenda to destroy the US. But words.

I call BS. Given what’s on their air, they clearly prefer to capitalize on hate. They just didn’t get a cut of this guy’s action.

No way.

Uh, no they don't.

hypocrites, racism/sexism is their bread and butter

Was it Joe 'you aint black' Biden?

Faux outrage.

I would like to see the racist comments. Until then this is just another Bubba Smolett yawner.

Do the Fox 'news' 'executives' watch Fox 'news?'

We condemn THESE horrendous and deeply offensive remarks, but THOSE horrendous and deeply offensive remarks make up our programming.

Yawn

Better a resignation than a cancellation

A writer on Tucker’s show is a racist and sexist? Who could have thought it

I didn't realize he needed help to be so awful.

That’s certainly a surprise

What were the comments?

They knew

Do CNN next, please? They are racist against White people 24/7, and blacks and Hispanics as well demonstrating that they can’t help themselves and need white liberals condescendingly speaking on their behalf

WOW some1 on FoxNews is more racist than TuckerCarlson Tuck ur KKK backers r going to b upset w u.

TucKKKer Carlson

Evidently, not so secretly.

Have they ever watched Carlson’s show?

TuckerCarlson probably threatened him with theft of intellectual property 'cause he doesn't want anyone to know he doesn't write his own racist commentary.

Leftist word games allow them to call all opponents racist, sexist, Nazis, anything. Leftists are the worst people since the Commies and Nazis.

Only overt racism will be tolerated on TuckerCarlson watch

Too bad the headline does not read 'Tucker Carlson and his top writer fired by Fox News'.

mimihalea Oh brother. And for two seconds I almost thought the top writer was embarrassed about Carlson it no, it was his own shit that forced him out. Time for Tucker to go.

Good. If true. Unlike the NFL who coddles and hug Anti-Semetics. And NASCAR_Xfinity who oromote NooseHoax TuckerCarlson takes action. Exactly why he is 1 on cable,

FoxNews execs are really only outraged that he didn't save all his racist comments for the show!

Can't make a policy point, simply cashing in on her disability. Shameful So the only thing anyone know about this woman is about her legs. That’s all what else is she good for other than being paraded around
