https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/heres-how-you-can-take-action-hold-tucker-carlson-accountableMedia Matters has documented Carlsons white nationalism at length. Additionally, as noted by Oliver, Media Matters has previously published tapes of Carlson spewing racism and misogyny on Bubba the Love Sponges radio show.
But in addition to what Oliver highlighted, there are some steps that people can take today to help hold Carlson accountable -- and the third is the most important of all.

If you really want to know who funds Tucker Carlsons bigotry, the truth is that its people like you and me. When you pay your cable bill, a portion goes to the various channels that you receive. Fox News received roughly $20 per year apiece from most cable news subscribers, regardless of whether they actually watch the channel. Thats way more than its competitors CNN and MSNBC.

Told those jerks that I did not care for their 'annual increase' for a few of the following shit channels: Newsmax, The Cowboy Channel, and at LEAST 6 more jewelry and crap-for-sale channels. They could care less and I'm living in a MAGAt area, so that'll probably continue.
