Left-wing journalists at Media Matters and The Washington Post are now teaming up to get Tucker Carlson kicked off air.
In unearthed audio, Tucker Carlson makes numerous misogynistic and perverted comments https://t.co/g2xDnIk7N3 pic.twitter.com/TO3os8RjsM

Then we had Erik Wemple from The Washington Post chime in:
I have contacted Fox News for a comment about the newly surfaced recordings of @tuckercarlson saying misogynistic things: https://t.co/v0Lzp8AJea One thing Fox News cannot say: We’re shocked and appalled.

That’s because even though these new recordings are awful, they are pretty consistent with the public record that preceded @mmfa presenting the recordings. Now for some examples.

Remember the time that Carlson, at the Daily Caller, roped his brother into some pushback against a femaile DeBlasio spox who’d requested a correction? She was called “spoogeneck,” among other nasty things. Carlson refused to make amends.

No. 2: Weeks ago, I asked Fox News to comment on the allegation from a former Salon staffer that Carlson had referred to Joan Walsh as the “C” word. They didn’t respond. That former Salon staffer tells the story on this podcast: https://t.co/t45iDCVtd7 … (At 58:23)

Back in 2014, on Fox News’s own air, Carlson made light of a teacher who allegedly performed a lap dance on a 15-year-old boy: https://t.co/BYr11odPw8

And that’s not even considering all the garden-variety sexism and misogyny that Carlson has foisted on the public over the years at the Daily Caller and Fox News: https://t.co/0FW7hSJeRh

So: The only response available to Fox News is this: ‘Yes, we knew, but we just didn’t take any action because the ratings were just that good.’

Tucker responded to this hit piece by not apologizing:

It isn’t shocking that Wemple attacked Carlson. Wemple and Carlson have a long history of attacking each other:
