“They can’t charge me with anything.”
I was chatting with Fox News super star Tucker Carlson, who had requested that we not identify him, or use his actual quotes in the writing of this piece.
“I think it’s been proven time and time again that Fox News is strictly entertainment, not intended to be construed as a trusted name in factual news by any stretch of the imagination. I’m not to be taken seriously. That’s important.
“My stuff is not intended for consumption by anyone with a high school diploma. None of our regular audience has a high school diploma with the majority having less than six years of education at any level. That’s our target audience.
“Most of the bullshit that comes out of here is created by our interns, who, by the way, are all in the top 10 percent of their creative writing courses in their university PhD classes. They are the progeny of the original National Lampoon staff who, if you’ll remember, brought dog lovers from all over the world together to protest the ‘Buy this magazine or we kill this dog’ cover.
“These writers are so good that I sometimes find myself believing my own bullshit.
“But the McCarthy Jan 6th video idea was all mine. Wasn’t it brilliant?”
It was at this point that Carlson’s phone rang and he excused himself to answer it. It was an extremely short call after which Tucker rose from behind his desk and said, “Gotta go - Mr. Murdoch wants to see me. Nice to meet you cat.”
If nothing else, he is polite and loves to talk.
