It's straight-up hypocrisy used to spew hate.
So, y'know, it's Tucker Carlson.

No, it is irony.
"Blood libel" is the accusation, not the thing the phrase accuses someone of. Tucker Carlson's use of the phrase was trying to imply that pointing out the very real existence of racists is somehow comparable to making completely false accusations against a whole ethnic group.
Oh, OK, the article was being kind of ambiguous about that. It called it "a phrase widely acknowledged for its antisemitic connotation", which made it sound like it's a phrase only an antisemite would say, not something they'd be accused of doing.
This is why passive voice sucks.

Hanlon's razor applies here... "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Though the line between malice and stupidity can be thin. Ignoring safety concerns to pad profits is about as close as you can get to being exactly on said line.
It's not so much stupidity as it is apathy. They do not do this because they are stupid, they do it because they don't care about anything but money. If they are permitted to do a thing in pursuit of money, they will do that thing regardless of the consequences.

Tory MP Uses Conspiracy Theory In U.K. Parliament Against 15-Minute City Concept
In parliament earlier today, the Conservative MP Nick Fletcher used a conspiracy theory slur against the concept of the 15-Minute City.

(I have no idea why this conspiracy theory has been readily taken up here. I mean, on this island, you’re never further than 15 minutes from important amenities unless you live somewhere really remote like Cornwall or the Scottish highlands or whatever.)
Fox News Host Throws Hissy Fit Over 'Woke' Legos
The toy company has apparently "gone woke" because of its new figures representing people with disabilities.
No doubt most of these people will get slaps on the wrist, but I feel a little better knowing they've at least gone after as many people as they could identify.
Also, not surprised most of the cops just let them waltz in with almost no resistance. I think that ought to be more widely known and that the bootlickers trying to treat them as heroes bravely standing up to the mob need to shut up and sit down.
I understand this is irrelevant to the topic, but "more than 999 people"? What an odd way to say "one thousand" without saying "one thousand". Are journalists taught to actively avoid round numbers or something?
Yes, there are terms that journalists are taught to never use because regardless of context makes the thing they are trying to convey sound made up. Rounds numbers specifically because a round number is generally something someone pulls out of their ass, as round numbers don't generally occur in nature.

Tucker Carlson is also a known liar who would gladly tell you anything Rupert Murdoch wants you to hear as long as he gets paid for it.
