NYT was going to publish home address of Fox news reporter

[Vassenor]

You know what actually has happened? Carlson's fans doxxed and harrassed the reporter he claimed wanted to doxx him.

Did the NYT say anything about it?

They said they had nothing like that underway, nor any future plans of doing it.

I'd like to see the link, it's funny when I see the NYT say stuff.

Nice diversion, Tucker you creep.

FOXNews Talking Head accused of sexual misconduct?

[Ansarre]

Nice diversion, Tucker you creep.

This was an accusation made today. No evidence has been presented that he has actually did anything wrong. Don't let your confirmation bias be so obvious.

According to the NYT, Tucker is lying.

And given the other link I provided, he has a clear motivation to do so.

Good job uncritically tripping over each other to take a known grifter at face value though, fellow NSGers. You do not embarrass me in the least.

Lol'ing at this so hard. When Tucker makes an accusation it is instantly wrong, but when a woman accuses him of sexual abuse? 100% gospel truth!

[Emmannuel]

lol i'm saying this for like what the third time in my life but ok

"You people" is always offensive when I use it lmao

When you use it, it refers to a race. When he uses it, it refers to a shared set of values amongst a group of the population (conservative)

You know what actually has happened? Carlson's fans doxxed and harrassed the reporter he claimed wanted to doxx him.

What's the saying? What goes around comes around?

[Picairn]

Currently the NYTimes hasn't even posted the article, while Tucker fans are already posting the name and address of the reporter allegedly covering the story on Twitter.

Tucker Carlson knows only too well the potential harms of having his private contact information made public. Which Fox News did in 2003.

Phone Wars

CNN's Tucker Carlson thought he was having a bit of fun when, during a "Crossfire" segment in which he defended telemarketers, he was asked for his home number but recited the number of the Fox News Washington bureau instead. Fox retaliated by posting Carlson's unlisted Virginia number on its Web site.

After his wife was deluged with obscene calls, Carlson says, he went to Fox's Capitol Hill bureau Friday to complain, and was told his number would be taken down if he apologized on the air. Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti says Carlson was "completely irresponsible" and that the bureau was "inundated" with "vicious phone calls. . . . CNN threw the first punch here. Correcting his mistake was good journalism."

Carlson, who apologized on "Crossfire" but also criticized Fox's form of retaliation, now says: "They're a mean, sick group of people. Don't harass my wife and kids. Even the Mafia doesn't do that."

Nice diversion, Tucker you creep.

The entirety of Carlson's involvement is that he asked someone to a hotel room. Nice try.

During her final 2018 appearance on Carlson’s show, she alleges she was kept on set by tech crew, who refused to take off her earpiece, so that Carlson could invite her to a hotel room where he was staying that night without his family. She declined, and has only been featured on his show three times since.

Making clearly sexual advances to a captive audience is pretty creepy.

:eyebrow:

This is a breach of privacy, even more so since, if he lives in an urban area, which he most probably does,

He lives in the suburbs.

Tucker Carlson claimed the New York Times planned to expose his address. Then his fans doxed the reporter.

On Monday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson made a surprising accusation: the New York Times, he said, was trying to endanger him and his family by revealing where they live in an upcoming story. As he lambasted the newspaper on-air, Carlson suggested that his prime-time show could expose the home addresses of the reporter and Times editors.

Within hours, an army of conservative Twitter accounts started publicly posting the address and personal information of the reporter Carlson identified as the story’s writer. Many encouraged people to harass the reporter.

In a statement to The Washington Post, a spokesperson for the Times denied Carlson’s claims.

“While we do not confirm what may or may not publish in future editions, the Times has not and does not plan to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson’s, which Carlson was aware of before tonight’s broadcast,” the spokesperson said. The spokesperson declined to comment further when asked about the reporter’s doxing.

Carlson made the allegation against the Times as he found himself in the middle of a fresh controversy Monday — stemming from a lawsuit filed earlier in the day accusing him, Sean Hannity and other prominent Fox News personalities of sexual misconduct. (The network has denied the allegations.)

Instead of addressing the lawsuit or the recent resignation of his chief writer, who was linked to anonymous blog posts containing racist, homophobic and misogynistic language, Carlson used the final minutes of his first broadcast back from a “long-planned” vacation to take aim at the Times. The newspaper, Carlson alleged, has been “working on a story about where my family and I live” in an effort to intimidate him.

“They hate my politics. They want this show off the air,” Carlson told his millions of viewers Monday. “If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won’t consider it collateral damage. They know it’s the whole point of the exercise: to inflict pain on our family, to terrorize us, to control what we say. That’s the kind of people they are.”

During Monday’s show, Carlson claimed that he had called the Times and expressed concern that the planned story would put him and his family in danger.

The host noted that his home address in Washington was made public in 2018, prompting a group of activists to show up outside one night to protest. Referring to the group as “screaming Antifa lunatics,” Carlson, a father of four, said the protesters vandalized his residence and threatened his wife, who had been home alone that night. Police, who responded to the scene after Carlson’s wife called 911, said about 20 demonstrators participated and that an anarchy symbol had been spray-painted in his driveway.


Carlson said Monday that he and his family continued to be targeted after his address was released, receiving threatening letters that ultimately led to them selling their home and moving.

“But the New York Times followed us,” he said. “Their story about where we live is slated to run in the paper this week. Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run.”

He identified the reporter behind the story as Murray Carpenter, airing his photo and calling the freelance writer a “political activist.” Carpenter’s website states that he focuses on science and environmental stories, and has written for the Times, The Post and National Geographic, among other outlets.

Carlson also mentioned photographer Tristan Spinski and the Times’s media editor Jim Windolf by name.

“How would Murray Carpenter and his photographer, Tristan Spinski, feel if we told you where they live, if we put pictures of their homes on the air?” Carlson asked. “What if we published the home address of every one of the soulless, robot editors at the New York Times, who assigned and managed this incitement of violence against my family?"

He added: “We could do that. We know who they are.”

Despite the Times’s denial that an upcoming story would publish Carlson’s residence, his accusation sparked fierce backlash from a number of prominent conservatives, including at least one GOP lawmaker.

“There is absolutely no reason for the NY Times to do this, unless of course it is to intimidate Tucker Carlson — or anyone who has views like him,” tweeted Rep. Eric A. “Rick” Crawford (R-Ark.), sharing a video of the host talking. “This isn’t ‘reporting’ and should be condemned by any news entity who has any credibility left.”

Acting deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli retweeted criticism that the Times is promoting violence against Carlson, adding “That is clearly their intent,” while Meghan McCain, co-host of ABC’s “The View,” condemned doxing as “the most violating thing in the entire world.”

This is extremely dangerous and a weird new norm. Even printing his neighborhood or building or home area is really dangerous. Why people feel comfortable doing this to people with whom their politics they hate is sick. It is the most violating thing in the entire world. https://t.co/hI67GEcaYq

Meanwhile, Carlson’s supporters quickly got to work. Several accounts shared addresses, phone numbers and other contact information for the reporter. One account tweeted, “Give him a taste of his own meds.”

“Maybe Tucker can’t do anything about it but somebody else can,” another user wrote.

Carpenter declined to comment to The Post.

By early Tuesday, at least one tweet that publicized Carpenter’s personal information had been hidden by Twitter and flagged for violating the platform’s rules.

Given that FOXNews has a history of sexual harassment, there's a fairly good chance Tucker was dipping his bowtie in an inappropriate manner.

Don't be too hard on old Tucker. While he is an extremely primitive person who just need to be quiet, he is also clearly, demonstrably mentally ill.

[Ansarre]

You try way too hard to be funny.

So what is the evidence that the NYT was going to doxx Carlson?

Can't I just take his accusation as the truth like your buddy did with the accusation against him? Given the NYT's track record with these kind of things (see: Slate Star Codex), it wouldn't surprise me.

So you have no evidence that the NYT was going to doxx him and you're deflecting rather than admit it.

Well, no. Fox explicitly tells you that his words do not have to be factual and that no reasonable person would trust him as a source of truth.

So taking his word.would be silly. Fox says so.

I have more reason to believe him than I do believe he just made it up for no reason. Given that he dropped names and the NYT confirmed he had been in contact with them, it's quite evident that they were going to publish something to do with his personal life. If he just made this up then he should expect lawyers contacting him over slander, but NYT don't seem to be doing that and just denying it. Interesting.

I'm fascinated that you appear to believe that if the NYT had gotten their lawyers to contact Carlson then you would know about it, and since you don't know about it, it must not have happened.

[Slaughter None]

What? Sure what he said was opinionated but you took it too far you shouldn't accuse people when you don't have a reasonable amount of evidence.

Dude! You published a claim accusing an innocent reporter of preparing to doxx a guy with no amount of evidence at all, let alone a reasonable amount!

I am talking about him calling Tucker Carlson and his writer a fascist incel.
