Far-left publication Media Matters for America (MMFA) leaked candid behind-the-scenes video of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday in an attempt to smear him as “creepy.”
But MMFA only humiliated itself in the process, as the leaked video only made Carlson seem more likable.
Media Matters hack Matthew Gertz posted the videos in a piece titled, “FOXLEAKS: Tucker Carlson’s creepy behind-the-scenes comments,” which show Carlson exchanging jokes and pleasantries with staff and colleagues.
In one exchange with British talk show host Piers Morgan, Carlson comes off as a humorous and down-to-earth guy.
1. Prepping for an interview with Piers Morgan, Carlson tells the host, “If we’re going to talk about sex, I’d love to hit some of the fine points of technique”
Morgan replies, “We can certainly talk about your sexual technique, especially after your tanning testicles last week” pic.twitter.com/q41FGWujn8

In another clip, Carlson blasts the Soros-funded MMFA just before going on air to host his former show “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“…just kidding, in case this is being pulled off the bird… Hey, Media Matters for America, go f*ck yourself!” he exclaimed as he looked into the camera.
2. After describing an unnamed woman to someone off camera as “yummy,” Carlson says, “just kidding, in case this is being pulled off the bird… Hey, Media Matters for America, go fuck yourself!” pic.twitter.com/xxefGaW9SX

3. On-set, Carlson tells someone off-camera, “I can never assess my appearance. I wait for my postmenopausal fans to weigh in on that.” pic.twitter.com/GmuwSomWDI

MMFA really got him this time — how will Carlson ever recover?

Of course, MMFA couldn’t have gotten hold of these behind-the-scenes clips without some assistance from Fox News itself.
Understand: Fox News, which has not given any public explanation for Tucker’s firing, is now leaking behind-the-scenes material to MEDIA MATTERS
For shame! https://t.co/j7OYsng0DA

National Pulse editor Raheem Kassam claimed the leak was an “intimidation” tactic meant to warn other pundits not to speak out against the elite.
There’s a reason they’re leaking this info now. It’s intimidation. Speak out against the elite’s wars and they’ll ruin your life.
Except Tucker’s life ain’t ruined.
He’s free.https://t.co/c1OzqjN0wa

This comes a day after MMFA published behind-the-scenes video of Carlson criticizing Fox News’ video streaming service, saying, “nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks.”
