For those that can't access the NYT, the text that may have led to Carlson's dismissal is below. I seriously don't understand why people put things in writing that can get them into trouble. It's just dumb. The interesting insight here, at least for me, is that Tucker wasn't just performing on his show--he actually seems to believe a lot of what he spews. I had been assuming that it was mostly an act.

In the message, which he sent to one of his producers "in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Mr. Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men — Trump supporters, he said — violently attacking 'an Antifa kid.'"

It was “three against one, at least,” he wrote.

And then he expressed a sense of dismay that the attackers, like him, were white.

“Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote.

“[b]It’s not how white men fight,[/b]” he said. But he said he found himself for a moment wanting the group to kill the person he had described as the Antifa kid.

“[b]I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it[/b],” he wrote. “Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be.”

After all, he wrote, “Somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed.”

“If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?” he wrote.
