White Media Outraged Over Tucker Carlson’s Prime Time Spot At Fox News

By Amber Randall

The media was very concerned about a white man taking over a prime time spot on Fox News after reports came out of Tucker Carlson’s new time slot.

Carlson’s show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” got bumped up to the 9 p.m. EST slot after Megyn Kelly announced that she would be moving to NBC News. (RELATED: Tucker Carlson To Replace Megyn Kelly In 9 P.M. Fox News Slot)

Journalists and media personalities, many of them white males themselves, quickly jumped on Twitter to quip about a white man getting the prime slot on Fox.

Replacing a intelligent woman (Megyn Kelly) with a white dude in a bowtie (Tucker Carlson) is the most Fox Newsiest move I could imagine.

Fox News is officially just white guys, like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, yelling about how illegals are bad and Trump is great.

@Patriot_Beaver I’m just saying their most well known anchors that are left are white dudes who yell about immigration and like Trump

“The shift leaves Fox with an all-white-male prime time lineup for the first time in its twenty-year history,” Brian Stelter at CNN wrote.

And honestly, someone w name Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson really counts as two white guys https://t.co/gp09qSZIzQ

When not complaining about Carlson’s whiteness, the media accused him of being a sexist and having the adoration of neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
