It is especially important to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements-extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. This is all outlined in Alexandr Dugin's (founder of the Nazbol Party) Foundations of Geopolitics in which he suggests that Russia should promote its interests in the US as such: They're just trying to make people angry (people should be angry, but RT is trying to make people angry for it's own sake, not to further higher goals). There is no particular ideology other than maximizing chaos. This included funding Republican politicians and supporting Trump's election in 2016 and to a lesser extent platforming leftists on RT and boosting particularly incendiary BLM groups on social media. But after the settlement, Davis ended that investigation.ĪP correspondent Nicholas Riccardi in Denver contributed to this report.It fits into the broader strategy of promoting conflict and making the US too divided to counter Russia's local ambitions. Davis had appointed a special master to investigate accusations that Fox lawyers had not turned over required evidence to the court. In a separate matter, however, Davis indicated a lack of interest in examining one aspect of the case now that it’s over. There’s still a compelling interest, and the settlement does not make the request moot, the news organizations said. Critics have called that white supremacy, an accusation he has denied.Ī lawyer for The Times, The AP and National Public Radio wrote this week to Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis, who presided over the Dominion case, reiterating that the news organizations want to see redacted documents from the case opened to the public. He drew controversy for supporting theories such as the idea that immigrants are being admitted to the U.S to “replace” people born here. “If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?”īefore his ouster last month, Carlson was Fox’s top-rated host. “I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed,” Carlson wrote, after admitting part of him was rooting for the attackers. “Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote, according to the Times. He describes a video he had seen a couple weeks earlier of Trump supporters beating someone he described as “an antifa kid.”Ĭarlson wrote about his conflicting emotions in watching the fight, which he described as “three against one, at least.” The Times reported that Carlson sent the text to a producer hours after Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Media organizations, including The Associated Press, continue to try to lift the redactions.
While some of Carlson’s texts have been publicly released as part of the lawsuit, the one quoted by the Times remains redacted by the court, as do numerous other exhibits. Messages sent to Carlson and his attorney seeking comment were not immediately returned. “Part of me can’t escape the idea that this is to demonstrate that Tucker was a liability,” he said.įox declined comment Wednesday on how the material on Carlson had surfaced. Three times in the past week, the anti-Fox watchdog Media Matters for America has released “hot mic” moments of Carlson speaking while on Fox sets, material that was never included on broadcasts. The newspaper said the discovery “contributed to a chain of events” that led to Carlson being fired April 24, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion nearly $800 million to settle the case.
Redacted tonight trial#
But the Times suggested the timing was crucial, as members of Fox’s board found out about the message as part of documents uncovered in the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, shortly before a trial was to begin last month. The sentiment was not out of character for Carlson, who has promoted the view that whites are being “replaced” by people of color.
In it, Carlson declared that a group of Trump supporters beating a protester was “not how white men fight.”
The latest was in The New York Times on Wednesday, reporting on a text message that had been redacted as part of a recent defamation case targeting the network. NEW YORK (AP) - A week after Fox News fired star host Tucker Carlson - for reasons that remain unexplained - he has been the subject of a handful of embarrassing stories about some of his private messages and statements while at the network.
