"For the first time in his miserable, privileged life, Tucker Carlson — the
greatest modern ally of white nationalists, bigots, bowties, and conspiracy
theorists — can’t whine against immigrants, Black people, feminists, or Muslims
for his grievances. Instead, he can only blame his former employer, Fox, which
unceremoniously fired him on Monday.
“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the network
announced on Monday even though Carlson and his team were fully expecting to
record their highest-rated cable “news” show going into election season.
One powerful and menacing head of the Hydra has been lopped off, sure, but
history reminds us we should expect two more white talking heads to take its
place. The truth is that Fox and the right-wing ecosystem have radicalized and
weaponized their base with a pure, streamlined injection of hate and lies for
so long that any attempts at correcting the course or moderating are tantamount
to financial and cultural suicide. Their base will rebel and ditch them for a
competitor that is willing to supply the latest hit.
For now, I don’t want to be a party pooper. Tucker Carlson, who hosted one of
the most racist shows in America, was fired. We should all enjoy this moment
and play the world’s smallest violin.
So, what happened?"
