Are we allowed to mention the NYT wanting to do similar to Tucker Carlson? (I say similar, because obviously his name is known, but they wanted to identify his home location).
- rvz 6y agoNot sure why you are downvoted but this is perfectly valid given that his name is already known and public (given his news career) and now they demand his home address. What they're doing to Tucker Carlson, is what they will also do when they find SSC's true identity. If SSC gets their name doxed, the NYT won't stop. They'll find their home address, employer, etc to cancel SSC.
- gadders 6y agoSadly I think some people's view of whether doxing is good or bad depends on the political views of the victim.

- gadders 6y agoDoes anyone believe the NYT at this point?
- tclancy 6y agoYes. The inversion of this makes no sense. I am supposed to believe Tucker Carlson instead?
- tempthrow4938 6y agoImagine if people were more skeptical towards NYT when they were knowingly publishing false war propaganda by Judith Miller. We might have avoided the war against Iraq.
- jessaustin 6y agoFortunately, we have been more skeptical about this recent "bounty" malarkey. NYT have brought this on themselves.
- dekhn 6y agoA priori, if you expect me to make a factual determination based on what the NYT says, and what Tucker Carlson says, I'm gonna pick NYT unless I see some other evidence.
- mundo 6y agoYes. They're a big organization with a lot of internal controls and transparency and a long history of owning up to mistakes. The idea that they would do something underhanded and manage to keep it secret is an extraordinary claim and requires real evidence, not "it sounds like the kind of thing those jerks would do" from someone who disagrees with their political bent.
- mijoharas 6y agoIs there any evidence to suggest that this is true? The new york times denies it, and it doesn't really pass the smell test. If someone can provide a reason for why they might want to do this I might consider it, but I can't think of one that would remotely make sense? It would provoke outrage and reflect badly on the paper, and the address would need to be important to the story. It's not similar to the slate star case, since publishing someones address is not a normal journalistic practice. Now I know of no reasons that the NYT would publish his address, and there are reasons why Tucker Carlsen might want to accuse them of publishing his address, such as him trying to deflect from the current accusations of sexual harassment.
