Tucker Carlson’s racist extremism got another voice of support from Fox News CEO Lachlan Murdoch.
Last week, Insider published an interview Lachlan Murdoch, conducted by Claire Atkinson. The article is behind a paywall and, since I don’t have a subscription, I have not been able to read it. But Atkinson discussed it on CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday.
Her biggest takeaway was probably exactly what Murdoch wanted, a revision of hisimage as an out-of-touch CEO. What she found “in the reporting as well as in talking to Lachlan,” Atkinson said, “is that he’s very involved.” Despite having moved to Sydney, he’s “on the 8:30 on the Fox News’, you know, morning call every day,” she said.
