In this week’s edition of Confider, we reveal how NBC employees are fretting that the network may have emboldened Tucker Carlson by firing one of his more frequent targets.
—and that management had given her several warnings to that effect.

Other NBC employees who spoke with Confider agreed that regardless of whether the network actually kowtowed to Carlson and his supporters, the timing made matters worse. “This definitely could’ve been handled better, or at least done in a more normal way where it didn’t feel like a reaction to an ongoing harassment campaign,” one staffer said. Another NBC staffer emphasized that the network has been “pretty good about protecting employees attacked by Tucker,” so Cross’ exit was more than likely a business decision.
