Revenge: The NYT Reporter Who Reportedly Tried to Dox Tucker Carlson Got a Taste Of His Own Medicine

Revenge is a dish best served cold. The Left has doxed conservatives. In fact, in the early 2010s, “swatting” was something that occurred to multiple right-leaning writers and activists, including Erick Erickson. To recap, “swatting” is when a nutjob lefty calls emergency services, makes up a fake violent incident occurring at your home, which triggers an armed response unit to arrive, and, well, you can imagine what could come of that situation.

It’s now supposedly a tactic that we cannot use or partake in because we’re supposed to be above that. Well, screw that. We’re in wartime and everything and anything hurled at us should be redirected in kind. Sorry, this is a street fight for the presidency of the United States. So, when The New York Times allegedly plotted to go after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson by exposing where he lived, placing his family in danger, he took to the airwaves to lambast the publication and rightfully so; a mob had found out where he lived in DC and it was not pleasant.

Leah wrote about Carlson torching the Times this morning. The liberal paper denied they were plotting to do this, but we can’t trust these liars. They lied about Russian collusion, they peddled a COVID panic porn study from South Korea regarding schools that was shoddy as hell, and now we’re supposed to believe them—an anti-Trump paper loaded with ‘woke’ crybaby reporters—that they weren’t going to dox Carlson. This is the ultimate ‘sure, Jan’ moment. We just got ahead of your pernicious scheme:

    Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday The New York Times was planning to publish a story this week on where his family lives to “hurt” them in an effort to make him “shut up and stop disagree with them”—a claim the paper denies. 

    “Last week The New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live. As a matter of journalism there is no conceivable justification for a story like that. The paper is not alleging we’ve done anything wrong and we haven’t. We pay our taxes. We like our neighbors. We’ve never had a dispute with anyone,” he said.

    “So why is The New York Times doing a story on the location of my family’s house? Well, you know why. To hurt us, to injure my wife and kids so that I will shut up and stop disagree with them. They believe in force. We’ve learned that.”

Is doxing still doxing when a "journalist" does it?

Asking for a friend.

When the dog doesn't bark .....

The NYT claims they had no plans to publish Carlson's address. What they did say was things like:

* (Reporter's name)? (Photographer's name)? Who are they?

* (Reporter's name)? (Photographer's name)? They're working a a story about (anything but Tucker Carlson).

IOW, the NYT knew Carlson had them nailed - the "reporter" and photog were working for the NYT and going to do something like CNN (IIRC) did to Officer Wilson, name the city and street and take a picture in front of Carlson's house showing the house number.

I'm guessing Carlson has reports from neighbors about the "reporter" and photog, and maybe cell phone pics of them nosing around his neighborhood. So the NYT's had to weasel-word their not-really-a denial.

It is a testament to the patience and law abiding nature of Conservatives that that building hasn't been damaged severely.
