There needs to be some lawsuits.
"...he has increasingly found fodder in criticizing lesser-known media figures whom he presents to his audience as symbols of liberalism run amok. And a subset of viewers are inspired to personally harass those journalists with threatening messages. Los Angeles Times columnist Virginia Heffernan told The Post that she contacted local police and filed a report with the Federal Bureau of Investigation — mentioning Carlson by name — after a Feb. 8 segment on his show took aim at a column she published three days earlier. ...Heffernan said she received waves of harassing and threatening messages, including letters mailed to her home address and a text message to her phone from a sender indicating a knowledge of where she lived. The text message in particular spooked her, and her local police department took it seriously. Officers drove past her house and around her neighborhood multiple times, she said.
In early March, New York Times technology and digital culture reporter Taylor Lorenz took note on Twitter of International Women’s Day by urging her followers to support female journalists and raising concerns about the online harassment she and other women in the profession have experienced. Carlson decided to devote a segment of his show to Lorenz’s complaint — in particular highlighting her claim that online harassment had “destroyed” her life, which he mocked. Days later, Lorenz shared on Twitter an email she had received in the aftermath of the show, repeatedly urging her to “kill yourself." “It’s not just mean tweets,” said Lorenz’s friend, video producer Sara Pearl Kenigsberg. “It’s death threats. It’s people trying to dox her, or figuring out where she lives or her family situation, or contacting and harassing her family. It’s very scary.” (Lorenz was not made available for an interview.)
Murray Carpenter and Tristan Spinski, two Maine-based journalists with relatively small online profiles, declined to comment for this story when asked about the harassment they received in July, after Carlson named them on his show and told his audience that they planned to reveal the location of his Maine home in a story for the Times. At the time, both Carpenter and Spinski told Post media critic Erik Wemple that they were forced to call law enforcement. Spinski, a freelance photographer, appeared to get the worst of it — there was an attempted break-in at his house following the segment."

Tucker Carlson is trying to bully journalists into silence. Interesting that when demonstrators once appeared at his house, Fox News condemned the action. Now, they, themselves, are paying someone to promote it, and worse.
Great. Now we're getting somewhere.Here's a transcript from his show where he spends time on the Virginia Heffernan story.

There is literally nothing wrong with her column.For the curious, here's the piece from Virginia Heffernan that Carlson (and thousands of other people) took issue with. In it, she struggles with whether or not she should thank her neighbors for shoveling her driveway for her, comparing them to Hezbollah and Nazi sympathizers because they happened to vote for Trump.
Column: What can you do about the Trumpites next door?
My neighbors kept President Trump in business with their support. They also just plowed my driveway, gratis.www.latimes.com
i will pay 50 a month or more to keep him 0jn air, i hope a lot of others will as well. the MSM's Lying BS about him makes that decision easy for me.The only way he stops is if the ad money dries up! I don't know who advertises on his show but this latest conspiracy stuff about the vaccine is dangerous and irresponsible and the companies that finance that are complicit.
Go for it.......i will pay 50 a month or more to keep him 0jn air, i hope a lot of others will as well.
No she was dead on and her mistake was saying sorry for it. What one has to understand is the cry babies like you are never gonna back off. Always a victim always someone else's fault. Someone else always has to go first.That's exactly where she was wrong - when she said it.
Great. Now we're getting somewhere.
But I couldn't find where Carlson said anything that could be interpreted as "encouraging people to threaten journalists who have done him no harm".
Did you delete it somehow so you could bring it back later for dramatic effect?
He was commenting about a columnist who seems to have emotionally screwed herself up quite a bit for political reasons and thus was complaining that she couldn't find a reason to hate her politically dissimilar neighbor for what he did for her.
No she was dead on and her mistake was saying sorry for it. What one has to understand is the cry babies like you are never gonna back off. Always a victim always someone else's fault. Someone else always has to go first.
You want people to act more civil. Then act accordingly. You want people to not say shit like this? Then act accordingly. You want everyone else to take personal responsibility for their actions but when it's you and your actions. Its the other person's fault.
Your whole group is a joke full of bullshit and Karen's.
I can't stand your type and these woke nimrods on the left.
This sort of thing is terrible. As if someone deserves to be terrorized. She didn't even directly compare these groups to Republicans. She merely pointed out that even the worst groups of people can express kindness.
The attacks on her are insane.
So that's your way of saying there was nothing that could be interpreted as "encouraging people to threaten journalists who have done him no harm" but you really think he wants them to and that's good enough for you to insist he does.What we have here is a pattern of Carlson attacking journalists and his fans going after them. Its as though he likes it.
And not to be outdone by her "harassers," Lorenz is now trying to dox at least one of her critics:In early March, New York Times technology and digital culture reporter Taylor Lorenz took note on Twitter of International Women’s Day by urging her followers to support female journalists and raising concerns about the online harassment she and other women in the profession have experienced.

It was a mistake for her to say it. But she was 100% correct. She actually said that about 1/2 the Trump supporters were deplorable. How can that be wrong?Her 'deplorables' characterization was a mistake. She knew it and didn't repeat it.
If one is a Hillary supporter, it's wrong because it alienated voters in what turned out to be a very close election.It was a mistake for her to say it. But she was 100% correct. She actually said that about 1/2 the Trump supporters were deplorable. How can that be wrong?
Unfortunately, when you have one party in the gutter (GOP), and democrats just won't fight fire with fire, you end up with Trumpism. Hillary's rhetoric was truthful. She saw it coming before many of us did. Sure, it was politically incorrect, nevertheless, completely true. And remains so today, likely worse.If you want discourse to become more civil start by holding your own side accountable. Would you agree that Hillary's characterization was hateful rhetoric?
Was the Russian collusion campaign "truthful?"Unfortunately, when you have one party in the gutter (GOP), and democrats just won't fight fire with fire, you end up with Trumpism.

I did say it was a mistake for her to say it, didn't I.If one is a Hillary supporter, it's wrong because it alienated voters in what turned out to be a very close election.
Oh, NOES!!! Tucker criticized a FEMALE reporter on TYV and she claims death threats!!"...he has increasingly found fodder in criticizing lesser-known media figures whom he presents to his audience as symbols of liberalism run amok.
