Just say you don't have the time to see these articles( I am not blaming you I know you must be busy ) well as just read the Wikipedia page on controversial topics you can clearly see the bias and also OwO is better now c'mon.

No, I have the time. I just don't see what you're talking about, especially when you neglect to mention what specifically is wrong.
Also, OwO is used to denote happiness or excitement, it wouldn't fit the context of my post.
In any case, Wikipedia's bias or lack thereof has little to do with the topic.

Yep, in the WaPo article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... x1mv62fI6m

Specifically this section:
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.

It's the same thing with their rhetoric about free speech. Conservatives call mere disagreement with their ideas an attack on their First Amendment rights, while suing, doxxing, and threatening the freedoms of media figures or activists they disagree with.

What confuses me is the reporter Tucker went after in his lie. He's not a NYT reporter, he's a freelancer who specialises in science and environment stories. He's the editor of The Republican Journal in Maine.

It makes no sense that he would be writing a story to dox Tucker in the NYT.

He probably didn't look into the reporter before making his accusation.

I doubt it happened, but I will remind people that CNN scrapped info off of a man's online account, tracked him down with it and essentially "made a deal" with him to delete his accounts, with them reserving the right to include his information in their news story if he didn't. To note, not a single part of them mentioning why they didn't publish his name stems from it being wrong to dox people and exclusively relates to his apology and promise not to do it again.

You'd be wrong with that assumption. My point was that "reputable" news sites have doxxed people (or threatened, as the case may be) before. It's hard for me, personally, to be incredulous at the idea that NYT might have also been willing to dox someone when it's not exactly without precedent from similar news agencies.
