DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Resignation Letter to the New York Times

That's called turning the tables and using their own tactics against them. When they were fed a spoonful of their own medicine it left a bitter taste in their mouths.

I love how you call a group of people who agree with each other "ganging up".

Funniest part of this thread was where I did exactly what Spiral said to do, then my post got deleted, haha.

Hypocrisy much?

Tucker Carlson denounces The New York Times for threatening his family's safety and Times responds


By Andrea Widburg

It’s a line so hackneyed that everyone can recite it. The mob goon goes into a local business to force the owner to pay protection money. The goon looks around and says, “Nice little business ya’ got here. Shame if something happened to it.”

That’s how the mafia operates: It threatens people into compliance. And that’s how the New York Times is trying to silence Tucker Carlson – by threatening his family’s safety so that he’ll stop sharing facts and intelligent conservative analysis with the American people.

Tucker Carlson currently hosts the most-watched cable news program on television, a show that’s recently been breaking one record after another. Carlson is straightforward and witty, and he presents conservative ideas with extraordinary moral clarity. He’s also courageous, saying things that others, even conservatives, are afraid to say –for example, calling Black Lives Matter out as a Marxist revolutionary movement, rather than an organization genuinely interested in improving the lives of black people in America.

Because of his clarity and reach, Carlson threatens the Democrats’ monopoly over the social and political narrative in this country, a monopoly they maintain through the media, education, and Hollywood. For that reason, Carlson must be destroyed, and the New York Times has figured out how to do this: It’s going to “dox” him. Carlson detailed what’s going on in his Monday night show (see below).

For those unfamiliar with the term, “doxing” people means to publish their private information, especially their address or phone number, on the internet, so that their enemies can easily hunt them down. A left-wing journalist already did that once to Carlson.

Armed with that Carlson’s address, a left-wing mob obligingly descended on the Carlsons’ house, forcing Carlson’s wife to call 911 while hiding in the closet. Even after the police disbursed these domestic terrorists, Tucker and his family (which includes four children) continued to receive threatening mail for another year.

The Carlsons finally decided to leave the neighborhood for their children’s safety. Now, the New York Times wants to force them out of their new home. There is no difference between what the Times is threatening and the mob goon saying, “Nice little house ya’ got here. Shame if something happened to it.”

Carlson says in the video that he has the addresses of those threatening to dox him. It’s unclear, though, if he intends to fight fire with fire or is just making noise. I hope it’s the former. If this is the new standard of journalism, now is the time to apply Rule 4 of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” To which I would add Rule 4.1: And make sure you give it to them good and hard.

Update from Thomas Lifson:

Following the broadcast, the New York Times issued a vague and confusing statement of denial to Mediaite:

“While we do not confirm what may or may not publish in future editions, The Times has not and does not plan to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson’s, which Carlson was aware of before tonight’s broadcast.”

What is the predicate of "which"? It makes no sense to state that Carlson would have awareness of "any residence." Does it mean that Carlson was aware that the Times has no such plans? If so, the statement should be worded differently, for example, "As Carlson was aware of before the before the broadcast...."

I am so old that I remember when the New York Times knew how to write clear, grammatical sentences.

Tucker Carlson claims New York Times wants to 'injure' his family by exposing where he lives

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tuck...-081233835.html

somebody is lying.

I'm going to go with Tucker. he's the one thats lying.

Didn't just say something, he named names. Then they come out with this.....

Yeah, suuuuure nothing to see here.

So let's see if we got this straight. This op-ed and Tucker are making claims about something that didn't happen and there are no plans for it to happen.

I wonder if there is an actual reason people in the press might be trying to ask him questions? Hmmm...

Fox News and hosts sued in sexual harassment suit

Ed Henry is accused of rape, and Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz are alleged to have committed sexual harassment.

Two women accused male Fox News hosts of sexual harassment and, in one woman's case, rape, in a lawsuit filed on Monday in federal court in New York.

Ed Henry, who was fired as a host earlier this month, was accused of sexual harassment and rape in the suit, while hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz were alleged to have separately behaved in a sexually inappropriate way. Jennifer Eckhart, a former producer, accused Henry of rape and threatening retaliation for refusing his advances. Cathy Areu, a reporter often invited on the network, accused Henry, Hannity, Carlson and Kurtz of sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

The suit alleges Henry groomed and coerced Eckhart into a violent sexual relationship where Henry physically restrained and raped Eckhart when she refused his advances. The suit includes text messages reportedly from Henry to Eckhart verbally demeaning her and demanding sex. The suit also alleges Henry took explicit photos of Eckhart without her consent and used them to taunt her.

Eckhart was 24 — about half of Henry's age — at the time, and the suit accuses Henry of using his seniority to manipulate Eckhart into a sexual relationship.

Fox News revealed July 1 that it had fired Henry after receiving a complaint against him a week earlier of “willful sexual misconduct.“ The internal memo announcing his ouster did not detail the nature of his removal but said the network “strictly prohibits all forms of sexual harassment, misconduct and discrimination.“

But the lawsuit argues that those claims are specious at best. It said that Eckhart informed Fox News of the alleged rape on June 25 and that her lawyers described in detail her allegation of rape, including graphic text messages from Henry.

Fox News had also been aware of Henry's predatory behavior since at least 2017, the suit claims, when the network conducted a company-wide investigation into sexual harassment. Though multiple women came forward to complain about Henry, the network suspended him only briefly before offering him a co-anchor position on the “America's Newsroom“ program, the suit said. Eckhart accused the network of violating sex trafficking laws by allowing Henry‘s alleged predatory behavior.

Areu also accused Henry of sexually inappropriate behavior, including sending her sexually graphic photos and pressuring her to have sex with him for professional favors. When she made it clear there would be no sex involved in their relationship, Henry called her “boring“ and ended their professional relationship, the lawsuit said.

Areu has never been employed by Fox News, though the lawsuit said Henry was aware she was looking for full-time employment at the network.

After his firing on July 1, Henry tweeted a statement from his lawyer that said: “Ed Henry denies the allegations referenced in the Fox announcement and is confident that he will be vindicated after a full hearing in an appropriate forum.“

Areu also accused Hannity and Carlson of professional retaliation for refusing misogynistic behavior. Hannity offered $100 for a member of staff to go on a date with her, which she described as a humiliating incident, and she was hardly ever invited back on his show after she refused to play along, the suit said. Areu said Carlson implicitly invited her back to his hotel room for sex in 2018 and refused to have her on his show after she turned down his advances. Areu also accused Kurtz and Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell in her suit of conditioning professional developmental opportunities on sexual or romantic favors.

Fox News denied the allegations against its hosts in a statement:

“Based on the findings of a comprehensive independent investigation conducted by an outside law firm, including interviews with numerous eyewitnesses, we have determined that all of Cathy Areu’s claims against FOX News, including its management as well as its hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Howard Kurtz and its contributor Gianno Caldwell, are false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit.

“We take all claims of harassment, misconduct and retaliation seriously, promptly investigating them and taking immediate action as needed — in this case, the appropriate action based on our investigation is to defend vigorously against these baseless allegations. Ms. Areu and Jennifer Eckhart can pursue their claims against Ed Henry directly with him, as FOX News already took swift action as soon as it learned of Ms. Eckhart’s claims on June 25 and Mr. Henry is no longer employed by the network.“

The episodes described in the lawsuit follow a string of accusations against key figures at Fox News involving sexual harassment and other improprieties. Fox News CEO and Chairman Roger Ailes stepped down from his post in 2016 after allegations of sexual misconduct. Ailes died in 2017. Host Bill O'Reilly was pushed from the network in 2017 after a New York Times investigation revealed he had paid several women settlements over complaints of sexual harassment.

“It is widely documented in the public record that Fox News has not only cultivated and fostered sexual harassment and misconduct, but has consistently accepted and rewarded it,“ the Monday suit said. “Nevertheless, Fox News would have the public believe that it is a different place from the Fox News that was run by former disgraced Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. Unfortunately, it is actually worse.“

Typical FOX News. When you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, attack the left to take that attention off of it.
