According to the Beast, Fox Corporation chief Lachlan Murdoch personally signed off on Carlson’s apology, which was in stark contrast to the statement issued by Fox News condemning Neff.
The Fox News staffers who spoke to the Beast were incensed. “They created a cell—they created a white supremacist cell inside the top cable network in America, the one that directly influences the president… This is rank racism excused by Murdoch,” one said.
Another one added: “What [Fox executives] don’t understand is you had a white supremacist in a very senior position on [Carlson’s] show. That kind of thing doesn’t live in a garden that isn’t fertile.”
“It’s unbelievable,” another said, regarding Tucker Carlson’s freedom from punishment. “I know you’re supposed to stay silent, but this is intolerable.”
