Lots of news in here, including that Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch *personally approved* Tucker Carlson's on-air non-apology for his racist writer. thedailybeast.com/fox-news-staff… cc: @oliverdarcy
When Carlson screamed that about a BLM “mob,” Fox PR claimed he was talking about “inner city politicians.”
“Bull. Shit. They have the script written that gives them an out,” one Fox staffer told me. “But what the viewers hear is the white supremacist crap.”

The behind-the-scenes behavior isn't much better. The formed a diversity and inclusion council for staffers of color. But the membership in the council was determined by Fox’s senior management.
Anyway, I don't get a chance to do much reporting these days; being able to do it with The Beast's all-star media team of @TheLloydGrove @AndrewKirell @LachCartwright and @justinbaragona was a real treat.
