Reality bites.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a text message after the 2020 election that he "passionately hated" Donald Trump, according to new court filings.
Mr Carlson's message to a colleague in January 2021 emerged as part of a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News.
The electronic voting firm accuses the network of promoting baseless claims of vote-rigging in the election.
Fox News denies defamation and says on-air comments were taken out of context.
The latest filings in the case suggest Mr Carlson expressed his dislike of the outgoing US president two days before Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol to derail lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden's election win.

"We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights," he wrote in a text sent on 4 January 2021. "I truly can't wait."
"I hate him passionately," he added.
Mr Carlson, the top-rated host on the conservative network, also appeared to denigrate the Trump presidency in these private messages, despite lauding his achievements on air.
"That's the last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump."
Dominion argues in its lawsuit that top executives and some hosts at the conservative cable network knew that the conspiracy claims pushed by Donald Trump and his allies on Fox News programmes were false but still put them on air.
Previous filings have revealed that even Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire owner of Fox News, acknowledged some of the network's stars endorsed false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

At this point, a true dipshit ignores the glowing, very public interview Tucker has just bestowed upon Trump..and instead, retreats to a 3 year old series of private texts.

..in which he supposedly discusses wanting to ignore Trump.

I.guess.things.changed.a.lot.

Later, in the same conversation, Carlson texted that the prior four years under Trump had been a complete shit show, but that he and (presumably) the rest of the gang at Fox were “all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside tor Trump.”

As we learned last month, in November 2020, Carlson texted his producer, Alex Pfeiffer, to say that Trump was good at “destroying things,” adding: “He’s the undisputed world champion of that.” Two months later, on the day of the insurrection, Carlson told Pfeiffer in a text message that Trump was “a demonic force.” We assume he did not mean that as a compliment.

Those three have been very much pro Trump.

What else does Carlson need to tweet to prove to you that he's not pro-Trump?

But hey, I guess he needs to keep his gig so integrity goes out the window.
