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.

Why? This would not be slander, so why should your misunderstanding of the law imply guilt on the part of the NYT? That's silly.

Perhaps Tucker lives in a huge mansion in a small town, and any article mentioning the area or cite accusations of neighbours would immediately make it obvious which house is his ?

He lives in a nice suburb, the houses there are pretty big but not quite mansions, and as I recall Chateau Tucker doesn't stick out especially. Or at least, doesn't since he had the encircled A scrubbed off his driveway.

They were in contact with him before his segment and might have posted his home address if he did not talk about it on his show.

At this point this is just pathetic scaremongering. "Might have" is not "was."

I could as easily say that you were going to publish my address. I don't really think you are, but let's pretend for a minute that I do believe that so I can make a point. You could deny that you were going to publish my address, but then I can say that I stopped you from doing it by going public about it. You could say that there is no proof you were ever going to do it, but I can say that we were in contact in this thread. Does that prove anything? I don't see how, but you seem to believe that reporters talking to Tucker Carlson proves that the NYT were going to publish his address, so logically the same should hold true if I point out that we were in contact.

considering it's been less then a month since the NYT did this to th author of slatestarcodex i'm disinclined to believe their denial, and more inclined to believe cooler heads realized Fox can do the same to them and snubbed the article.

Well this is pretty circular now isn't it? If whatever story gets published doesn't mention any address (and I'm still not convinced it even is going to, seeing as the guy is a nature writer with no experience in politics - unless Tucker has been feeding squirrels into a woodchipper or something in his spare time) he gets to claim victory and live rent free in the news for another cycle.

Oh no, you're supposed to wait for the knife to go instead of keeping it from happening! Just like that NYT reporter who got into it with tech people, its "journalism" when they spy on people but if you leak their conversations you are endangering their lives!

So? Wht bearing does that have on the NYT history of doxxing people?

It has bearing on Fox's history of doxxing reporters from competing outlets. The NYT is no doubt aware of that history, so it seems incredible that any of their journalists would invite the wrath of Fox by even considering publishing Carlson's home address.

Also it's very funny that Tucker Carlson actually was doxxed by Fox News and now works for them.

I wonder if Tucker Carlson agrees. He just threatened to dox people in order to silence them, and works for people that he knows have done the same before. How much can the practice possibly offend him?

Saying that Tucker Carlson was going to sexually abuse his daughter is within the PG-13 threshold.

As for evidence, why are you holding me to a higher standard than a "reporter"?

Besides, it's true. Listen to when he was on Bubba the Love Sponge, either 2009 or 2010. He was going to assault his own child, but was in contact with the child's mother first.
