Tucker Carlson’s white supremacy has received much well-deserved attention, but it cannot be seen as an isolated incident of his extremism. His war on journalists fits into a larger, even more disturbing picture.

“Vladimir Putin could only dream of having achieved” the damage to democracy that the Murdoch family and Fox News have accomplished, said Malcolm Turbull, the former prime minister of Australia.

Geraldo Rivera and Dan Bongino raged at each other over the police shooting and killing of Daunte Wright. Or at least they made a big show of it for the cameras.

While Lachlan Murdoch claimed not to notice that Tucker Carlson explicitly promoted and endorsed white supremacist ideology, white nationalists are not only taking note, they’re applauding.

In a discussion about the police killing of Black, unarmed, 13-year old Adam Toledo, Sean Hannity’s guests immediately declared the shooting “justified” and moved on to accuse Blacks Behaving Badly.

Fox News paused its Blacks Behaving Badly-focused coverage of police shootings to air a potentially positive reform from Duane Chapman, aka Dog The Bounty Hunter: Take the lead out of police bullets.

Jon Stewart deftly swatted away Fox host Martha MacCallum’s attempt to blame President Biden’s COVID relief and American Jobs Plan for the lack of health care coverage for veterans exposed to burn pits.

Leo Terrell, the Fox News “civil rights attorney” who is now one of the network’s African American Black Attackers, lectured President Biden to shut up about Jim Crow because “It is a lie."

Only a reporter from the Tucker Carlson network would argue that Blacks should shrug off Daunte Wright’s death after being shot and killed by a senior police officer who apparently mistook her gun for a taser.

Gretchen Carlson spoke out against Lachlan Murdoch, who would have been her boss had she remained at Fox News, for defending Tucker Carlson’s white supremacy “replacement theory.”
