Fox News Execs Hunt Down the Tucker-Kanye Video Leaker

[douglas9]

Fox News executives are “full-on freaked out” about the leak of never-aired clips of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kayne West, Confider has learned, and the network is closing in on the “mole” who was the source of the embarrassing breach.

A few weeks ago Carlson interviewed West, who now goes by the mononym Ye, and touted him as a brave truth-teller dismissed by liberal elites for his increasingly far-right beliefs and stunts like wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to Paris Fashion Week.

Despite the Fox News celebration of West’s supposed intellectual heft, unaired snippets leaked to Vice’s Motherboard showed the rapper and fashion mogul peddling openly antisemitic tropes and bizarre claims about “fake children” being used to manipulate his kids. These more embarrassing, newsworthy remarks never made into the final broadcast of Carlson’s chat with the rapper. (The interview was also before Ye threatened online to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” before being banned from multiple platforms.)

[4Q2u2]

1. Too Bad

They search for and report the truth as vigorous as this investigation.

[Walleye]

2. This is bugging me, maybe it shouldn't, isn't the term DEFCON 3?

[Silent3]

3. Yes, that's the real term. Did "Ye" said "death" instead for effect or out of ignorance?

Probably ignorance, but who knows?

[Walleye]

4. I'm pretty sure it's ignorance. But then they are proud of their ignorance. So it's hard to tell

This is the conundrum in assessing the right wing candidates. I think their new strategy is that, ignorance works

[groundloop]

8. The Kardashians have been teaching us for years that ignorance and stupidity are cool

and they've done pretty well peddling that nonsense.

But hey, as far as faux noise being outraged that the real Kanye got exposed...... fuck 'em.

[patphil]

12. I think the play on words was a Freudian slip.

True sentiments have a way of slipping out when least expected.

[Walleye]

13. They are becoming such bloodthirsty sons-of-bitches

[Samrob]

5. It enrages me that fools like Kanye and Hershel are pushed out there to almost verify the stereotype

black male that many whites like to believe represent black males in general. These two fools are an embarrassment not to just blacks but to the human race.

[multigraincracker]

11. Lots of folks judge a book by the cover,

without ever opening it.

[Martin68]

21. Kanye and Hershel confirm the stereotype that the GOP holds, not the rest of us.

[cab67]

6. Ye?

Yo-yo would be more appropriate.

[Farmer-Rick]

7. West needs psychiatric help

This is bizzare behavior. The man should be directed to the nearest counseling center not to Fox.

Geez, these are the kind of people the GOP attracts. I never knew mental health in America was so abysmal.

[iemanja]

9. His ex-wife said as much.

[louis-t]

10. And in the next breath they will say

"We need to look at our mental health issues in this country" which repugs will never do.

[Mr. Sparkle]

14. Why would a news channel try to cover up those quotes?

Maybe Fox is not a news channel... and never was.

[ffr]

16. Right! The bigger story is, why did Tucker and Fox bury the hideous parts?

If this is but one interview, it's safe to assume that in each of their similar interviews, this is common practice.

What a horrible organization!

[Martin68]

22. We know why Fox buried the parts that argue against their agenda. They always do.

[LittleGirl]

15. I'm thrilled that there is a mole at

Faux spews network

[TeamProg]

17. Ha ha !!

[Xoan]

18. Snort

Be careful who you interview?

[Ladythatvotesblue]

19. Fox

looking for leakers?
Fox wouldn't know what the truth was EVEN if it bitten on the butt.

[twodogsbarking]

20. This made me smile. Thanks.
