Talking Points Memo reports:
“We cannot and will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the likes of Moveon.org, Media Matters and Sleeping Giants,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement to TPM on Tuesday.
“Attempts were made last month to bully and terrorize Tucker and his family at their home. He is now once again being threatened via Twitter by far left activist groups with deeply political motives.
“While we do not advocate boycotts, these same groups never target other broadcasters and operate under a grossly hypocritical double standard given their intolerance to all opposing points of view.”
When you’ve built your network on vilifying people of color, people of different religions and people from other countries, you don’t get to blame other people just for pointing it out.

It’s remarkable how many publishers have an issue with Carlson’s advertisers departing.
Don’t worry, folks. If you don’t denigrate minorities, immigrants, women and the gay community on the regular, you should be fine.
