Media Matters chief Angelo Carusone said Monday that his company plans to release more tapes from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, this time to give insight into his “worldview vis-a-vis race and ethnicity.”
“The other material is similarly vile,” Carusone told TheWrap, referring to an amalgamation released Sunday of Carlson’s call-ins to the “Bubba the Love Sponge Show,” during which he appeared to defend statutory rape, made a lewd comment about underage girls, called women “primitive” and labeled Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “the biggest white whores in America.”
A spokeswoman for Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“[We] certainly want to make sure they are released when they can be most helpful to the media buying decision makers,” Carusone added. “We’re entering a critical time of year: upfronts. This is when most of the ads for next year will be sold.”
He said that he’s hoping to make would-be advertisers pause at the revelation of the major controversy.
Nice to see the left hitting back. Hit them in their pockets…
It is nice to see the left hitting back. The big difference is that we are listening to actual recordings, not spinning conspiracy theories.
Tucker is someone I could put aside my grace for just a moment to punch him in the face. #FireTuckerCarlson
Look for the GOP to explore banning boycotts on “free speech” grounds.
