Citing audio of a New York Times customer service representative, Tucker Carlson accused the newspaper of committing fraud in order keep subscribers.
The Fox News host said that his producer bought a Times subscription last year, but decided to cancel when the outlet raised the price to $17 a month. According to Carlson, the Times told the producer the cancelation would go through, but the producer was billed again in May.
He stated the producer called again this week to reiterate his desire to cancel the subscription and again was told it would go through. The host stated the producer was hit with (apparently) a second $17 bill this month.
“So, we called the Times to find what’s going,” Carlson said. “Within minutes, the customer service reps service of the New York Times confessed that the company is committing fraud.”
He then played audio of the representative, who confessed to no such thing:
It looks like the first time you tried to cancel this, or at least the first time that one of our advocates tried to cancel it, this was when you wrote in to us on chat and that would’ve been the 13th of April this year. The reason that it was not canceled, it was rejected in the system due to an in progress transaction attempt.
[…]
Now, it looks like again, someone tried to cancel it and that was on the 11th.
[…]
They got the exact same system response. System was still trying to process the transaction.
“Oh,” reacted Carlson. “So the system won’t let you cancel your Times subscription even if you don’t want it. Our requests were rejected on two separate occasions a month apart. Now, according to the newspaper the system simply wouldn’t allow it either time.”
He stated the producer requested a refund and aired the customer service rep’s response.
“Now as for the refund of those two transactions you were trying to avoid, it does not look like that those were processed at all,” she said. Then, she proceeded to attempt to process the refund, but apparently got a confusing message.
“So, I’m going to have to do that for you now, which shouldn’t be a problem. Right? ‘Billing event is being processed.’ Why is there another event being processed? That doesn’t make any sense.”
Carlson accused the Times of ripping off customers and claimed it’s the only way the company can stay in business.
He added, “Class action lawsuit, anyone?”

Profanity at Alito House Protest ‘Pains’ Tucker Carlson
Profanity and a middle finger that aired on Tucker Carlson’s Monday night show during a live shot was just too much for the Fox News host to stomach.
In his opening monologue, Carlson criticized the actions of abortion rights advocates after news broke that the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. Over the weekend, protesters marched outside the homes of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts.
Kavanaugh “doesn’t have a wall around the house. More to the point, his two daughters are home. Imagine what it must’ve been like inside the house if you are Brett Kavanaugh or his wife or his daughters. The people outside didn’t care,” said Carlson, whose Washington, D.C., home was targeted by protesters in 2018 over his white nationalist-friendly comments.
On Monday, viewers of Carlson’s show were shown a protest from outside the Alexandria, Virginia, home of Justice Samuel Alito, a reliably conservative vote on the court who wrote the draft majority opinion overturning the 1973 abortion ruling.
The scene, in Carlson’s words, is “what it looks like when you write an opinion the mob doesn’t like.”
A woman holding a megaphone can be heard saying, “Fuck Samuel Alito and fuck everybody who thinks that they can tell someone that they aren’t—”
Carlson jumped back in: “Ah, so let’s turn that off. Too much.” Carlson then told his guest, Jason Whitlock, “It pains me to even put stuff like that on television, but people should see, you know, what this actually looks like.”
Minutes later, Carlson called the protesters “disgusting,” adding of the peaceful assembly, “We hesitate to even bring you these pictures because they’re so awful.”
