Misogyny was “blatant” on Carlson’s show and throughout Fox News, Abby Grossberg, former senior editor at Tucker Carlson’s Tolit, told NPR’s Leila Fadel on Morning Edition.
“They don’t care about telling the truth and they don’t care about women,” Grossberg said of Fox News. “They care about ratings and revenue.”

Fox News made a big show of cleaning up its culture after ousting Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, but from Grossberg’s insider’s account, nothing seems to have changed. The faces on the camera are different, but the behavior is the same.
It is past time for the rest of the media and much of the country to reject the premise that Fox News is. Just because an organization hires some journalists doesn’t mean they are committed to truth and journalism.
The Murdochs continue to throw hosts and on-air talent out the door, unaware that they are the cause of Fox News’ cultural problems.
Fox News is toxic to its viewers. Toxic to its employees and bad for the country. All cable and satellite customers pay Fox, whether they watch the network or not, as long as the network doesn’t continue to be saddled with high carrier fees.
Millions of Americans who never watch Fox and disagree with the network’s agenda are subsidizing the network.
Americans should not have to pay for a network that is focused on corruption and doesn’t care about the truth. It is not enough to destroy Fox. It’s time to cut their money.
