In a surreal interview Tuesday night, Fox host Tucker Carlson confronted “Dom Tullipso,” a man who purports to own Demand Protest LLC which claims to mobilize paid protestors to rally around certain causes.

Carlson began the interview with a full-fronted assault on Tullipso’s authenticity. “So this is a sham, your company isn’t real, your website is fake, the claims you have made are lies—this is a hoax,” the host said.

...

“You’re not accusing me of being a hoax, are you?” Tullipso asked, perplexed.

“I’m saying that your name is fake and this company is fake and that the claims you made on your website are false,” Carlson responded. “What’s the point of the ruse your perpetuating on the American news media?

“Sure absolutely, great questions,” Tullipso said before noting that no way would a “legitimate news agency” ever have someone on without properly vetting said person.

“I wouldn’t be given airtime on a national stage unless I was legitimate,” the Demand Protest founder added.

“You have fooled other news stations, you have not fooled us,” Carlson said, despite prominently featuring Tullipso on a major segment of his nightly show.

...

Tullipso said while he’s not conceding “any of this is a hoax” he’s amazed that it’s “pretty darn easy to say whatever the heck you want on national TV and have it passed off at truth.”

...

Carlson asked Tullipso if he actually thought the show would fall for his shtick.

“I’m just surprised you put me on!” Tullipso responded. “That’s what’s surprising.”

3. Yeah, he didn't catch it. Must've gotten thru his ear piece about the Payton Manning name drop

Carlson got trolled as he was trying to out a troll, who had, btw, been outted by others long ago.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer — only on FOX.

4. My mistake he did catch it. "Releasing Area 51 documents to Fisher Stevens"

He lead by calling Fox News and Tucker as not being legitimate.

5. Ha!

I made a post on here when I first stumbled across that site. I didn't realize that the "real press" actually fell for it too. I thought it was just the bloggy internet stuff. I would usually find this sort of stuff amusing, but the fact there are so many stupid people who buy it 100% without question is something that really concerns me. Even if these guys were just doing it for "the lulz" or if they were trying to prove some point. The point that it proved is pretty scary.
