In mid-2011, Tucker Carlson’s digital media outlet the Daily Caller was looking for money, and it turned to one of the biggest conservative donors in the country. The conservative news site hit up aides to New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer with a pitch for its new nonprofit arm, the Daily Caller News Foundation. Singer’s team rebuffed the request. But emails obtained by The Daily Beast show that Daily Caller staff, including its co-founder and publisher Neil Patel, circled back with Singer’s family office on numerous other occasions over the subsequent four years asking for meetings and courting Singer’s financial support. Carlson stepped down from day-to-day operations at the Daily Caller in late 2016, and now hosts a primetime Fox News show. But last week, he and Singer’s paths crossed once more. Amid an all-consuming national debate over impeachment, Carson devoted significant airtime to attacking Singer, his hedge fund Elliott Management, and the … [Read more...] about Before He Ripped This GOP Megadonor a New One, Tucker Carlson’s Website Hit Him Up For Cash

Shep, Judge Nap, Tucker and the Fox News Civil War Over Impeachment
As an impeachment inquiry looms over President Donald Trump, some Fox News anchors and right-wing commentators have begun openly insulting one another over the president asking Ukrainian President Zelensky, via a July phone call, to investigate Joe Biden. “It is a crime for the president to solicit aid for his campaign from a foreign government,” Judge Andrew Napolitano, a Fox News senior judicial analyst, said Tuesday on consummate newsman Shepard Smith’s daytime broadcast. That analysis clearly irked a frequent Tucker Carlson guest, Joe diGenova, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, who later that night called Napolitano a “fool” on-air. The next afternoon, Smith looked sternly into the camera and called the insult of a fellow Fox colleague “repugnant.” And, of course, that was followed by diGenova reprising that evening on Carlson’s show for a segment in which the primetime host mocked Smith’s “repugnant” line and … [Read more...] about Shep, Judge Nap, Tucker and the Fox News Civil War Over Impeachment
Tucker Carlson Mocks Fox Colleague Shep Smith for Defending Fox News Analyst
Hours after Fox News anchor Shepard Smith blasted frequent network guest and Trump ally Joe diGenova for calling Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano a “fool” during Tucker Carlson’s show, Carlson devoted a Wednesday night segment to mocking Smith’s outrage and defense of their mutual colleague. Inviting diGenova back on his program on Wednesday night, Carlson noted that the Trump-boosting lawyer’s insult of Napolitano caused “quite a firestorm,” reminding viewers that diGenova was responding to Napolitano’s assertion that Trump committed a crime with his phone call to the Ukrainian president. Carlson then took aim at Smith. “Apparently our daytime host who hosted Judge Napolitano was watching last night and was outraged by what you said and, quite ironically, called you partisan,” Carlson exclaimed in a rather jovial manner. The Fox News star went on to air a clip of Smith not-so-subtly calling out Carlson … [Read more...] about Tucker Carlson Mocks Fox Colleague Shep Smith for Defending Fox News Analyst
Tucker Carlson: James Comey, ex-FBI Director, is still spewing lies – with no fear of punishment
close Video Tucker: Media proclaims FBI is innocent IG report released; Steele dossier was used to spy on Trump campaign. Russia is back in the news, all of a sudden. We want to apologize to our friends over at CNN -- We took a break. There was a moment when we weren't talking about Russia every day. But for now, we're going to readdress the question of Russia collusion. Now, keep in mind that the premise of the now-discredited, two-year long Russia investigation was that it was entirely plausible, indeed, it was likely, that Donald Trump, a former casino owner who spent 14 seasons starring in an NBC reality show, was, in fact, despite all outward appearances to the contrary, a secret Russian agent, someone who was working against American interests to serve Vladimir Putin in Moscow. That was the claim. CARTER PAGE: I HAVE A 'TEAM OF ATTORNEYS' SCOURING HOROWITZ REPORT FOR POTENTIAL LAWSUITS Many of the non-geniuses in our media establishment clearly … [Read more...] about Tucker Carlson: James Comey, ex-FBI Director, is still spewing lies – with no fear of punishment
