Fox News accompanied President Biden's primetime speech with a "Live Tucker Reaction" box

The president's first primetime address interfered with Tucker Carlson Tonight, so Fox News opted to show a little box featuring Carlson's "Live Tucker Reaction" in the bottom right corner. The graphic appeared a few times during Biden speech. Minutes before the president wrapped up, Fox also featured chyrons that read “BIDEN SPEECH NEARLY FINISHED; TUCKER WILL RESPOND” and “BIDEN SHOULD BE FINISHED; TUCKER IS ON ANY MINUTE" and "TUCKER RESPONDS IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS." The "Live Tucker Reaction" box inspired former Deadspin video producer Timothy Burke to create a "Live Tucker Carlson Reaction Generator."

• Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin voiced “revulsion” and other top defense officials condemned Tucker Carlson: The Fox News host ticked off the Pentagon by accusing the Biden administration of feminizing the military and complained that the Pentagon had devised maternity flight suits to accommodate pregnant personnel and had updated standards for hair styles. “What we absolutely won’t do is take personnel advice from a talk-show host or the Chinese military,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in response to a question about Carlson's comments.
• Jon Stewart lashes out at Tucker Carlson: "I called Tucker Carlson a d*ck on National television," he tweeted, referring to his legendary 2004 CNN Crossfire appearance. "It’s high time I apologize...to dicks. Never should have lumped you in with that terrible terrible person."
