Tucker Carlson's top writer resigns after secretly posting racist and sexist remarks in online forum
Source: CNN
The top writer for Fox News host Tucker Carlson has for years been using a pseudonym to post bigoted remarks on an online forum that is a hotbed for racist, sexist, and other offensive content, CNN Business learned this week.
Just this week, the writer, Blake Neff, responded to a thread started by another user in 2018 with the subject line, "Would u let a JET BLACK congo n****er do lasik eye surgery on u for 50% off?" Neff wrote, "I wouldn't get LASIK from an Asian for free, so no." (The subject line was not censored on the forum.) On June 5, Neff wrote, "Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down." On June 24, Neff commented, "Honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep." On June 26, Neff wrote that the only people who care about changing the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins are "white libs and their university-'educated' pets."
And over the course of five years, Neff has maintained a lengthy thread in which he has derided a woman and posted information about her dating life that has invited other users to mock her and invade her privacy. There has at times also been overlap between some material he posted or saw on the forum and Carlson's show.

(23,375 posts)I guess even the ultra-double-top-secret pseudonym "JustABozoOnThisBus" had better mind its "P"s and "Q"s.
Whatever are those darn "P"s and "Q"s.

(101,405 posts)and the results were a man who thought he was hard done by because he doesn't look like Brad Pitt, but thinks women would submit to him if he did. And who stays away from women, since they don't fall at his feet when he's an asshole.
He told his blonde date that he preferred brunettes. When he saw her drinking a cocktail at the bar while waiting for him because he was late, he told her that alcohol was poison. On the subject of hobbies, he said "Most of my hobbies allow me to escape women." He brought a giant book about Catherine The Great with him.
When his date said she "wasn't looking for a relationship right now" as they said goodbye, he told the Post that his first thought was "If I were Brad Pitt, you would be."
...
Neff mentioned, both in that article and on the message board that he doesn't date much. It seems fair to say that this is probably one of the few positive things he has done for this world.

(9,136 posts)Now he's discovered something that Democrats have learned for years. After twenty plus years, Democrats have learned the bitter lesson that anything, anything, no matter how small, no matter how picayune, no matter how far out of context, will eventually be picked up from print and the Net and put on public display.
Tough kibbles, Blakey! You did it to yourself!

And you thought that just applied to Democrats and liberals, didn't you?

(101,405 posts)I really thought Fox News was about news, albeit with a horrible right wing bias. I thought the idea was that they pretended to be journalists - you know, people who write their own material.

(50,580 posts)They should consider going through Fox News' employee roster and removing ALL the racists and sexists from their ranks - starting with Tucker Carlson. They can go to work for the Daily Stormer, who would be pleased to have them.
