What made this text different, in the eyes of Fox.
If this is indeed the text that got Carlson canned, then … anti-climax! In contrast to Carlson’s typical thinly-veiled racist tirades on the air, this quaint and frankly delusional statement about how white men supposedly fight—apparently by flicking their gloves at an Antifa kid’s cheek and challenging him to pistols at dawn—seems comparatively tame.
Is it just the absence of any veil—the flagrant use of the word “white”—that did it? If so, this scenario conjures up an absurd funhouse-mirror mentality among Fox management, where it’s acceptable to pretend to be racist on TV so that actual racists will watch and learn from your show, yet it’s a scandal to be racist yourself in private. Fox had plenty of reasons to jettison Carlson, who, despite his strong ratings, was shunned by many advertisers.
