I’m actually cracking up at this whole situation. Perhaps the only thing funnier than the clips that were “leaked” to the leftist Media Matters organization is the fact that Media Matters clearly thought that these clips would make Tucker Carlson look bad. They are so outrageously out of touch that they literally didn’t realize that most of the people who like Tucker, and even a few who don’t care either way, will think these are pretty tame and even funny. They were clearly leaked from someone inside Fox (Megyn Kelly has a theory about who) specifically to try to tarnish Tucker’s reputation. But if this is the best social blackmail the could find on Tucker, then he’s a pretty decent dude. Here’s a thread with the clips that have been released so far.
Media Matters really thought they had something with these leaks of Tucker Carlson telling jokes while off the air. They really, really, thought they had something with it. Anyone with a sense of humor can assess that the things Tucker said, like MMFA itself, are in fact, jokes. pic.twitter.com/Qi7lqR4N9K

Think about how many thousands of hours of video footage they surely have of Tucker, and all they could find were a few rather tame, albeit unprofessional, jokes and candid conversations? Seriously, he jokes about letting his older female audience criticize his appearance so he knows what he needs to change. That’s legitimately funny, actually. He says he doesn’t want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which makes sense and only makes me happier that he’s no longer tethered to them. Even the sex joke with Piers Morgan is ridiculously tame. And several of those clips actually speak directly to the issues that his viewers have with the mainstream media establishment, including calling out Media Matters itself for being to self-censoring. They read this whole thing wrong and it’s hilarious.

This posting and the clips just prove something I’ve believed for a long time. Tucker has a sense of humor. Media Matters doesn’t. Wherever Tucker lands and whatever he does when he gets there I’m cheering him on.
