Tucker Carlson is furious with Fox News executives for not vigorously defending him amid his evidence-free claims that the National Security Agency spied on him in a conspiracy to destroy his TV show, according to people familiar with the matter. One of the sources described Carlson as "furious" with network executives, especially the public relations team, "for not backing him up."

. . . snip . . .

Carlson has complained to colleagues and associates about what he perceives as a lack of support. Two Fox News spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment over the weekend. In a text to a CNN reporter Sunday night, Carlson called the allegation that he is angry with Fox executives "absurd."

"I'm not mad at anyone at Fox," he said. "If I was, I'd say so. I'm mad at you for lying relentlessly. What a loathsome person you are. Please print that."

For the better part of two weeks, Carlson — the highest-rated host on Fox — has repeatedly claimed that the Biden administration was spying on him. Fox pointedly has not covered his claims on its newscasts, even though such an intrusion would normally be a significant news story. Fox has not shown any outward signs of investigating Carlson's claims, either.

4. Exactly. FOX is a "reality" show, and this is all part of the drama. Drama drives ratings.
