Business Insider, Lauren Frias • July 21, 2020

On a Monday night broadcast, Fox News host Tucker Carlson falsely accused a New York Times reporter of planning to publish his home address in an upcoming story.

In response, people doxxed the Times reporter, Murray Carpenter, tweeting Carpenter's email, website, and home address, and encouraged others to "start showing up" at his house "during the day and night."

At the time of the broadcast, The Times had not published the story at the center of Carlson's claims, and the newspaper tweeted a statement in response saying it "does not plan to publish Tucker Carlson's residence, which Carlson was aware of before his broadcast."

A New York Times reporter was doxxed, after Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the reporter and paper of planning to publish his home address.

Carlson claimed in a Monday night broadcast that The Times was "working on a story about where my family and I live."

"They hate my politics. They want this show off the air," he claimed during his Monday show. "If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won't consider it collateral damage."

At the time of the broadcast, The Times had not published the apparent story at the center of Carlson's claims, and the newspaper tweeted a statement in response saying it "does not plan to publish Tucker Carlson's residence, which Carlson was aware of before his broadcast."

During his segment, he recalled previous harassment he received after his home address made it into the public eye, detailing how his wife and two children were threatened by "screaming Antifa lunatics," which prompted him and his family to move.

"But The New York Times followed us," Carlson said during the show. "Their story about where we live is slated to run in the paper this week. Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run."

During Monday's show, Carlson listed the individuals involved with the alleged story by name.

"How would Murray Carpenter and his photographer, Tristan Spinski, feel if we told you where they live, if we put pictures of their homes on the air?" Carlson asked during the broadcast. "What if we published the home address of every one of the soulless, robot editors at the New York Times, who assigned and managed this incitement of violence against my family?"

"We could do that," he continued. "We know who they are."

Following the broadcast, Carpenter was doxxed. His email, website, and home address, were published and those on social media encouraged others to "start showing up" at Carpenter's house "during the day and night."

"Give him a taste of his own meds!" one Twitter user wrote.

A representative from Fox News did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Carlson has discussed doxxing on his show before.

Following the whistleblower report that prompted the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, the president and his allies pushed to dox the whistleblower, so much so that Trump accused Fox News hosts of lying when they claimed they didn't know the whistleblower's identity.

Carlson said during a November broadcast that he would name the whistleblower if he were to confirm their identity, dismissing the potential danger of doxxing them.

"His life is in danger? Spare me!" Carlson said during the show. "Try living my life for a week.

New 911 call transcript shows the results of Tucker Carlson’s threats to reporters

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson openly threatened New York Times reporters on air in July, unleashing a torrent of his apparent fans torment and harass them over a lie.
A new 911 phone call transcript, first published by the Washington Post on Monday, revealed more details about the consequences of the host’s actions.

Carlson claimed that reporters for the Times were working on a story that would identify the location of his family’s home.
However, the Times denied that it planned to reveal the location, and the story that was in the works has yet to be published.

But it seems that didn’t matter to Carlson.
He openly threatened the reporters working on the story.

“So how would Murray Carpenter and his photographer, Tristan Spinski, feel if we told you where they live?” he said on air.
“If we put pictures of their homes on the air?”

He didn’t identify their homes — but, as he must have known, he didn’t need to.
Online sleuths were likely to find their addresses in revenge for a wrong against Carlson that never even took place.

And it appears that’s exactly what happened.
Erik Wemple of the Post reported that the two freelancers faced a wave of threats over various media.

And on Monday, Wemple shared a 911 transcript related to the incident. He explained:

The 911 transcript adds contour to the story, as it depicts the victims of Carlson’s dangerous speculation trying to make sense of a sudden spurt of hostility at their doorstep on an otherwise quiet summer night.

The call arrived at the Lincoln County facility at 9:57 p.m., just about an hour after Carlson’s blast. “It’s been some loud banging noise downstairs and some threats coming to the house recently just in the past hour,” says Spinski’s brother-in-law on the call transcript.
“I mean there’s the call and the voicemail saying we know where you live, beware and things of that nature.”

After the dispatcher asks about the threats, Spinski’s brother-in-law responds, “Yeah just recently, it’s my brother-in-law is a journalist and a news source posted his name on uh Tucker Carlson show and his address and things of that nature so he has um been getting threats all night long.”

Spinski himself jumps in on the call with the dispatcher, explaining, “There is definitely people (muffled voices) on our property,” he tells the dispatcher (parentheses in original transcript). “Yeah there was a definite, we can feel our house when someone is trying to get into it downstairs. It was significant,” Spinski says.

The occupants of the house — Spinski, his wife and his brother-in-law — were “locked” in an upstairs room during the ordeal, Spinski tells the dispatcher. “I am not going to poke my head out you know,” he says.

It’s a frightening episode. And it’s entirely predictable that something like this would happen, especially as Carlson has been cultivating a devoted and paranoid fanbase that perceives enemies all around them.

In fact, what happened to Spinski is exactly what Carlson was supposedly outraged could happen to him —
that a media report could spark real-world danger toward him and his family.
Except in Carlson’s case, this threat was imaginary and never came to pass.

The Times didn’t, intentionally or otherwise, spur harassment toward someone’s family.
The only one guilty of that in this case is Carlson himself.

((what the fuck Carlson, ya fuck))
