According to a report from The New York Times’ Ben Smith, beloved Fox News host Tucker Carlson may not be as much of a conservative as he leads viewers to believe. Smith claims that Carlson, who is known for his quick-witted bashing of far-left media figures and politicians has actually helped feed them gossip for years.
According to Mediaite:
New York Times media columnist Ben Smith posted an article about “one of Washington’s open secrets,” that Fox News’ top-rated host, Tucker Carlson, frequently gossips with the same liberal media outlets he denounces nightly on his show, on topics ranging from former President Donald Trump to Fox News’ “tumultuous internal politics.”
“Tucker Carlson Calls Journalists ‘Animals.’ He’s Also Their Best Source,” was Smith’s headline, detailing how multiple journalists described the juicy info Carlson fed them over the years:
He’s the go-to guy for sometimes-unflattering stories about Donald J. Trump and for coverage of the internal politics of Fox News (not to mention stories about Mr. Carlson himself). I won’t talk here about any off-the-record conversations I may have had with him. But 16 other journalists (none from The Times; it would put my colleagues in a weird position if I asked them) told me on background that he has been, as three of them put it, “a great source.”
Among the anecdotes Smith shared was one about an excerpt from a new book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender, in which he describes Carlson sending Trump’s calls to voice mail after his first debate with Biden — the one where Trump frequently interrupted his opponent — and then finally picked up. Bender’s book retells the conversation with direct quotes, but, as Smith noted, the author “declined to comment on the sourcing that allowed him to so precisely reconstruct a conversation only two people were privy to.”
Recently, Carlson has caught flack from journalists across the aisle for claiming the Jan. 6th Capitol riot was actually instigated by covert FBI agents.
And to date, FBI has ZERO comments about Carlson’s claims.
The more quiet they stay, the more we see that Tucker is correct.
Antifa John Sullivan was released until after he previewed his video, then they did a phony arrest and let him go…
He admits everything in his video and I imagine hundreds of hours show Ashli and who may have been involved instigating her…
Police moved out after John Sullivan’s photographer was as in place…
this information coming from the NYT, come on , they are the TREASONOUS and TRAITORS, all of these accusations are to distract that they are the BAD GUYS , NYT and TRAITORS are the same .
I am very suspect of any information coming from the NYT. That paper does not always tell the truth. I will trust Carlson far more than I trust the Times. They have their ax to grind with Carlson so this article may be payback. I will have to listen to Carlson tonight.
not so sue
Can you say disinformation? No one is perfect but should I believe Mr. Carlson or this left-wing elitist? Hint: If a left-wing journalist’s pen or lips are moving, a lie is being propagated.
Like I’m gonna believe the New York Times….
What if it’s not a lie?
Then he can effectively communicate in a bipartisan way and belongs in Congress, best position replacing nasty pelousi as ‘Chair’
What if it is?
me too because I believe in the Tooth fairy.
The Times is the last source I would believe.
So now, because Tucker exposed the FBI it’s time to carefully deconstruct Tucker and sweep another FBI scandal under the carpet.
Let’s demonize Tucker and make him as irrelevant as possible for exposing us FBI operatives who deceitfully instigated and planned the Jan 6 “insurrection” to take down Trump, a political opponent to the Democrat sold out FBI.
Exactly. Its obvious what the left is trying to do.
Exactly!
This story is baloney. Just more bilge water from the rats at NYT trying to discredit Tucker. This is all brought to you by the demoncrats play book.
Did you know all their reporters were WHELPED from SWINE (pigs) that were IMPREGNATED by CANINES (dogs).
Don’t repeat this fact.
That is kind of NASTY to say but interesting if TRUE!
Since you said that, I need to ask what the bloody hell is a “cloumist”?? Doesn’t anybody bother to “edit” what they write anymore? The headline starts off “NYT cloumist” – -OK, so “what IS a cloumist”? If you meant “columnist” THEN WRITE IT THAT WAY!!
I mentioned that too. They must have an LG spell check.
You are 100% correct!! I get so annoyed when I read MANY of these articles whereby grammar and spelling have gone by the wayside.
Picky! Picky! stay on subject matter.
I was wondering the same thing. Have you noticed how so many words have had the pronunciation changed by those who do not know how to pronounce certain words.
Maybe they meant ‘communist’ lol…
If you understood what they meant what difference does it make if a word is spelled?
FAKE NEWS!!
Huh?????? Sounds like Carlson is flying over the target too frequently for the rats in the swamp.
The Leftist Media Trolls and Slugs hate Tucker Carlson and despise his popularity among their plummeting polls of approvals and bad ratings. They would do anything to bash and discredit him. Tucker has spent the past 2 years rooting out all the hypocritical, biased media talking heads and exposed their hatred for Conservatives, Republicans, and for anyone disagreeing with them.
Tucker brought this “Story” from NYT Ben Smith to our attention last week on his program
and renounced it’s credibility as a LIE. New York Times V Tucker Carlson????? Not even a question of who to believe…………
I was glad to see that by the time I got around to commenting on this article the rest of you had already come to the exact same conclusion; the NYT is about as dishonest as you can get and I don’t believe anything they have to say. Way to go folks; they must think we are all as stupid as their Democrat followers.
deception is number one in the art of war. the radical leftists do not understand deception. they do understand crime and criminal behavior, however
What the Hell is a “Cloumist”??
Must be misspelled. “Flourmist” when you throw a handful of flour at someone. The NYT wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on the rear. Been lying to long.
Tucker Carlson is more believable than all the other MSM’s and that drives them nuts. All they can do is accuse him of the behavior THEY engage in…Pathetic!
It is jealous envy. Tucker ALWAYS corrects anything he finds out is wrong.
Demonrats and Media trolls are always trying to ruin a Republicans reputation.
Can’t say I believe what I’m reading….N.Y. Times isn’t known to be any more “accurate” than CNN…the Collateral-Damage News Network!
The closer one gets to the truth. The more the left pushed back.Any patriot can see this.
I don’t trust anyone from the NYT, or the left wing media, including Fox. They are all just one big cabal.
What a PATHETIC attempt by the New York Times to try to hurt Tucker Carlson. The NYT is really a sleazy publication. They wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on the ass. My question is; Who are the morons who buy and read this liberal rag? They must be super stupid.
Nobody in their right mind would believe ANYTHING in the N.Y. TIMES.I don’t know why people buy it or read it, since it’s nothing but anti-right propaganda. Anyone or anything to do with Trump is written in a negative light & journalism does not exist at this “scandal sheet”. The billionaire globalists who control this “paper” & a lot of others are calling the shots. Either the TIMES editors ‘play ball” or they will have no job, NOW or never will have anywhere.$$$ is controlling Washington, D.C., lobbyists, & Pelosi’s agenda.You either “obey” their dictates OR you end up like Seth Rich or the reporter found dead who came out with the “Tarmac Meet” with Bill Clinton & Loretta Lynch.
Mr. Sign crossed the Clintons. They have quite a lineup of “accidents” who displeased them. Think the count is about 17.
At least the NYT’s is taking a different approach to try and ruin their conservative enemies, they must know that anyone that would consort with these liberal “news people” would be abhorrent to any thinking person and thus they are willing to throw themselves under the bus in order to achieve their political objectives, it’s brilliant. The one thing is it shows even more clearly how biased the media is that they would even sacrifice their own for their cause. This of course is confirming that they deranged people, liberalism is a mental disorder.
NYT can’t be trusted
No liberal news source is reliable –including the NY Times.
Ben Smith could be lying about Tucker Carlson. Wouldn’t believe a NYT columnist as far as I could throw them. Why is he exposing him now, if he’s their go-to guy.
BTW: Who does the editing for these Trump Train News Articles. They literally massacred the word “columnist”.
IMHO, this spurious and MENDACIOUS claim by that “writer” from the NY Slimes has just been issued to try – and try HARD! – to discredit Carlson and millions of Patriots’ claims that the Jan. 6 “insurrection” was, indeed, an INSIDE JOB, with the TREASONOUS FBI directing traffic on that day!!
😵💫So he’a “out-foxing” the frauds & shysters running FauxNews..,and the rest of charlatans@Fake-News, don’t like it. Big-deal, who cares❓We voted for Trump‼️😂
Ooooh — jealous are we, NYT, because Tucker is slamming everyone else in the ratings? I wouldn’t be surprised if NYT and CNN started this, to attempt to get both their ratings out of the tank. I think a lot of people have finally caught on to the fact that most liberal reporting is not based on facts, but on opinion or stories straight from the Book of Media Fairy Tales!!! Bye, bye, NYT and CNN — seems your newfound unpopularity is terminal! 🙂
They are unable to speak truth so they make up lies to sway other’s belief. .Defeat with lies and expect it to be believed like the DNC
The Left is always working to silence the truth and anyone that tells it. Now they’re trying to discredit Tucker because he is blowing the competition away with real news.
Sounds like old NYT s Ben just a wants some publicity
Anyone who takes a NYT article today has not been paying attention. The NYT has become no more than a tout sheet for Democrat politicians.
Anyone who takes a NYT article seriously today has not been paying attention. The NYT has become no more than a tout sheet for Democrat politicians.
Source: New York Times?…. LOL… see ya.
These are the best comments I’ve ever seen!
Change in tactic…
…don’t denounce Tucker but call him a Traitor to President Trump
Tucker seems as Independent as any “news” personality and actually treats guest from both sides with respect, not staging gotcha question or argue “narratives”
NYT story…..
lol
It can’t be true…. that’s a given
If you can’t kill the message, kill the messenger.
As usual, anonymous sources that the “quotes” come from
I’ll start to believe in The NY Times when they declare that Biden stole the president chair. So far they are famous with lying and stealing people’s good reputations.
