The media was very concerned about a white man taking over a prime-time spot on Fox News after reports came out of Tucker Carlson’s new time slot.
Carlson’s show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” got bumped up to the 9 p.m. EST slot after Megyn Kelly announced that she would be moving to NBC News.
Journalists and media personalities, many of them white males themselves, quickly jumped on Twitter to quip about a white man getting the prime slot on Fox.

Replacing a intelligent woman (Megyn Kelly) with a white dude in a bowtie (Tucker Carlson) is the most Fox Newsiest move I could imagine.

“The shift leaves Fox with an all-white-male prime-time lineup for the first time in its twenty-year history,” Brian Stelter at CNN wrote.

When not complaining about Carlson’s whiteness, the media accused him of being a sexist and having the adoration of neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
