Read our privacy policy Tucker Carlson said he “passionately” hated Donald Trump and fantasised in 2021 about the day he would no longer have to cover his fellow conservative, according to new messages released as part of a defamation lawsuit against Fox News. “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson told an unknown Fox News employee just two days before the January 6 Capitol riot, according to the court documents. Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who owns the network, was captured elsewhere wondering if Fox News hosts like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham had gone “too far” with their election coverage. Previously, court documents showed Murdoch admitting that some of his top hosts, such as Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro, had “endorsed at times this false notion of a stolen election”.
