Tucker Carlson & brother don't know how to use email; send misogynist rant public by mistake (NSFW)

Durn that pesky "reply to all" button, exposing the Daily Caller Carlson trust fund babies for the condescending, sexist pricks that they are!:

WASHINGTON — Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson’s brother Buckley Carlson referred to New York City mayor Bill de Blasio’s spokesperson as a “self-righteous bitch” in an email to his brother obtained by BuzzFeed News.

The email appears to have been accidentally sent to de Blasio’s spokesperson, Amy Spitalnick, as well as to Tucker Carlson. In the email, Buckley Carlson, who occasionally writes for the Daily Caller, makes several offensive comments about Spitalnick after she asked for a correction on a piece about the mayor:

Great response. Whiny little self-righteous bitch. “Appalling?”

And with such an ironic name, too… Spitalnick? Ironic because you just know she has extreme dick-fright; no chance has this girl ever had a pearl necklace. Spoogeneck? I don’t think so. More like LabiaFace.

Spitalnick had reached out to Daily Caller writer Peter Fricke to ask for a correction on a story about de Blasio that claimed the mayor had said that the president’s $80 billion transportation proposal was not enough. After a back and forth between Spitalnick, Fricke and editor Christopher Bedford, Bedford told Spitalnick that if she “annoyed” him “with another whiny email before then, I’m muting this thread, thanks,” prompting Spitalnick to contact Tucker Carlson directly. He responded to Spitalnick:

Dear Amy,
Thanks for your email. You believe our story was inaccurate and have demanded a correction. Totally fair. We are going over the transcript now.
What Bedford complained about was your tone, which, I have to agree, was whiny and annoying, and I say that in the spirit of helpful correction rather than as a criticism. Outside of New York City, adults generally write polite, cheerful emails to one another, even when asking for corrections. Something to keep in mind the next time you communicate with people who don’t live on your island.
Best,
Tucker Carlson

This is the mentality you get when you never work a real job in your entire life.

I'm not sure what effective action to take. Tucker is the founder and editor-in-chief of the Dailer Caller, so not sure who we could complain to. (Ugh, I imagine the whole place is a cesspool.) Another option would be a boycott, but I bet most people appalled by this aren't in their audience. We could target advertisers if we had a list. Maybe someone here has a good idea.

I'm amazed by professionals who cannot figure out when to use it and when not to use it. The entire mailing list does not need to know exactly which prior commitment keeps you from attending a meeting or social event. Jeesh! These idiots are in media and can't figure this out? They deserve whatever ass kicking they get, sexist bastids.
