Unearthed radio clips have revealed a number of sexist, misogynistic and perverted remarks by Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson.
The clips compiled and published Sunday by Media Matters For America were recorded back when Carlson was a regular commentator on the shock jock radio program 'Bubba and the Love Sponge' between 2006 and 2011.
For about an hour each week, Carlson would call into the show and weigh in on current events, often sharing controversial opinions in vulgar terms.
On several occasions the conservative commentator defended underage marriage and statutory rape while making crude comments about minors exploring their sexuality.
He also frequently employed misogynistic language when talking about women, calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton 'the biggest white whores in America' and saying he wanted to give 'c***y' TV host Alexis Stewart, daughter of Martha Stewart, 'the spanking she so desperately needs'.
Carlson, who joined Fox News in 2009, responded to the report on Twitter Sunday night by saying he wouldn't engage in 'ritual contrition' and welcoming people to tune into his primetime program to hear his opinions.

Unearthed radio clips have revealed a number of sexist, misogynistic and perverted remarks by Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson. Media Matters For America published a compilation of 27 transcripts from his weekly guest appearances on the shock jock radio program Bubba and the Love Sponge between 2006 and 2011 on Sunday
The lengthy MMFA report contains 27 transcripts broken down into four sections: 'Talking about underage girls and sex, and minimizing and defending statutory rape', 'Diminishing sexual violence/laughing about violence against women', 'Sexism against specific women' and 'Sexism against unnamed women'.
The conversations between Carlson, host Todd Clem (aka Bubba the Love Sponge) and an unnamed co-host are detailed below.
'Talking about underage girls and sex, and minimizing and defending statutory rape'
The first transcript is pulled from an August 27, 2009, show during which Carlson, Clem and a co-host discuss underage marriage.
'Look, just to make it absolutely clear, I am not defending underage marriage at all,' Carlson prefaces before saying: 'I just don't think it's the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child.
After Clem and the co-host express outrage at Carlson's defense, he explains: 'The rapist, in this case, has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person, so it is a little different. I mean, let's be honest about it.'
The co-host replies: 'That's twisted. That's demented.'
Carlson then says: 'I got myself in a position that seem like I'm defending it, because I am against that.'
Months later on an October 25, 2009, show, the group talks about how Carlson's 14-year-old daughter goes to boarding school.
Clem - who is against his children going to boarding school, describes a scenario in which underage girls experiment with each other sexually in their dormitory.
Carlson remarks: 'If it weren't my daughter I would love that scenario.'
For about an hour each week, Carlson would call into the show hosted by Bubba the Love Sponge (above), real name Todd Clem, and weigh in on current events, often sharing controversial opinions in vulgar terms
One of the earlier transcripts of Bubba the Love Sponge is from a September 5, 2006, show during which the group talks about Warren Jeffs, who at the time was on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for his involvement in arranging illegal underage marriage.
Carlson calls the charges against Jeffs 'bullshit' because 'arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old and a 27-year-old is not the same as pulling a stranger off the street and raping her'.
On another show, Carlson said that if he made the laws, Jeffs would be go free and Michael Vick, who was convicted of dog fighting, would be executed.
In an April 2006 show about a teacher who had sex with a 13-year-old student multiple times, Carlson said: 'Teachers like this, not necessarily this one in particular, but they are doing a service to all 13-year-old girls by taking the pressure off. They are a pressure relief valve, like the kind you have on your furnace.'
The sixth and final transcript from the first section of the MMFA report, taken from a January 2008 show, contains a conversation about Bill Clinton.
Carlson says: 'Why doesn't [Bill] divorce [Hillary] and, you know, take up plural marriage or something with a bunch of teenagers in a foreign country.'
'Diminishing sexual violence/laughing about violence against women'
Tucker went on a rant about confusion over sexual consent during an April 2006 show about gang rape allegations against Duke University lacrosse players.
'Well, I think they could get railroaded. I mean, you know, look, here's the bottom line.... this woman sells sex for a living. OK? I'm not attacking that -- I'm merely noting it. She sells sex for a living. If she's accusing other people of nonconsensual sex, it's a little more complicated than if some, you know, housewife claims she was pulled off the street and raped. It's just not the same thing. It's harder to determine what's consensual and what's not.
'And to act like, you know, these guys absolutely did it because she's this oppressed stripper, pardon me, adult dancer or exotic dancer, whatever the hell they're calling her, is ridiculous. I mean, these kids, maybe they did do something wrong, I don't know. But, I mean, you got to give them the benefit of the doubt.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
