Kyle Kulinsky's video reaction had some interesting details. Basically, it appears that Tucker Carlson just had so many emails and texts where he's like "I don't believe a word of this, but that's what gets the ratings / that's what the piggies are clamoring for", which is a genuine liability legally.
No. The case is about defamation - knowingly publishing falsehoods to damage another's reputation. Turns out it's a lot easier to make the case when one of the perpetrators is out there texting at length that he knew what he was publishing was false.

I've been saying for years he doesn't actually believe this stuff. Years ago that Roger Stone netflix biopic came out (Get Me Roger Stone! 2017) and they interview Tucker for it and it's pretty apparent he has a kind of mercenary attitude about all this, he's a TV personality first and foremost. The Ideology is just a part of the product.
