Does Tucker Carlson actually watch Fox News?

Fox News employee Tucker Carlson weighs in on the White House/Fox News flap:

Tucker Carlson: In the long run it doesn't hurt any news organization to find itself on a White House enemies list, but Fox didn't start this. Anita Dunn did. Very foolish I think.

Regardless of what one thinks of the White House strategy for dealing with Fox News, nobody who has watched more than ten minutes of Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity can seriously think Anita Dunn "started it."

Did Dunn and the White House escalate "it"? Sure, maybe. Was it a good idea? I'm actually not sure; there are reasonable arguments both ways. But to say "Fox didn't start this" doesn't just strain credulity -- it takes credulity out back and beats it to death with a shovel, as Beck might say.

  Poor Tuckie, he was driven off CNN and MSNBC. The best he can do is Fox and at that, he's become a purveyor of the All Things Stupid for Students. His war on books is nonsensical as are his opinions.

  Beck and Hannity- opinion shows. Not news- so what is everyone worried about?
