Fox’s ‘News’ Division Refused to Promote Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 Tape B.S.: Report

[onthedarkside]

 

The internal tension between some of Fox News’ biggest names has been made public in recent weeks — and it seems that some staffers are now willing to dish on what exactly has been going on behind the scenes.

 

According to a report from Mediaite, many of the network’s hosts and employees are becoming increasingly hostile toward the network’s biggest star, Tucker Carlson.

 

Sources indicated to Mediaite that no one at the network “has control” over Carlson, and staff outside of the channel’s “entertainment” programming have begun refusing to cover his primetime exploits, including his absurd rewriting of the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol.

You don't think it's a story that Carlson's own network won't have anything to do with his "documentary"? But thanks for not sharing with us your reasoning. Maybe because there was none?

Anyhting that makes the far right look bad is a non story.

When I read lines like this: 'Sources indicated to Mediaite that no one at the network “has control” over Carlson' I just stop right there. This writer just churns out similar garbage all the time.

Garbage like this?

 

In Fox Corporation's view, it doesn't matter what Rupert Murdoch does or doesn't think about what goes on at Fox News, because he doesn't exercise granular editorial control at Fox News. Fox Corporation shouldn't be involved in Dominion's lawsuit at all, the company argues.

 

Under ordinary corporate law and Supreme Court precedent stemming from New York Times v. Sullivan — the granddaddy of libel law in the US — a parent company isn't automatically liable for the companies underneath it.

 

"The assumption has always been that it has to be the creator of the story who must know that it is false in order to support a judgment under the Sullivan standard," Frederick Schauer, a First Amendment scholar and a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, told Insider.

Journalists do not credit their sources unless they have permission.  Before a story is written or aired, the editor approves and the editor determines, in part, whether the source is credible.   Some times, editors will question a source and either ask the journalist to get a 2nd source or confirmation from elsewhere that the source being used is credible.

You will 'stop right there', but you will listen to a Trump speech with endless lies.  Interesting and quite selective.

Yes, I read about her. Media Matters!! Right. This constant political bias does not constitute true journalism.

I suppose the proof is in the pudding. Did the news part of the station promote Tucker's claims or not. If they felt Tucker had completed fair and balanced good journalism - ha ha - I am sure they would have

[OneMoreFarang]

Tucker Carlson wouldn't be a problem if not so many people would like to watch Tucker Carlson.

Is it just entertainment for those people? Do they believe what Tucker Carlson tells them?

Or are they all idiots?

If you see good journalism as being fair and balanced then fine. I wasn't commenting on Tucker's 'claims' but Nikki's obvious permanent bias, which in this case is only backed up by with lines like "sources indicated".

And this says what about the main story that not even Fox's own news department will feature Carlson's documentary? A fact which you apparently believe isn't significant.

Tucker is like late period Elvis: coasting on the hits, no longer in his right mind.

 

People needed Elvis for the revenue, so nobody said no to him, but everybody knew he was dreck.

 

After he called Trump poison who he passionately hated, he said it was because he got a little emotional after the mid-terms. And his audience bought it. 

 

He brings in the revenue, but look who advertises on Fox: Crypto and Pillow salesmen. Never a car company or even a beverage ad.

 

Fox makes their money on the low end of the market, where you never go broke because you never run out of idiots.

I must have missed something. Is there some indication that she lied in the article?

I suggest you look back and see that I did not mention "Tucker".

Agree....but man, putting Tucker in the same sentence with Elvis is almost un-American.  Elvis was an icon who actually had talent.  Tucker is more like PT Barnum, making money by telling the rubes what they want to hear.

New information about it:

 

Here's what Fox News was trying to hide in its Dominion lawsuit redactions

 

"Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News' so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump.

The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway."

(There are other interesting facts in the article)
