Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday launched an attack on TV hosts who tell “lies” to “keep their stupid TV jobs.”
And critics say it sounds like it’s talking about itself.
Carlson, who admitted he lied, attacked a new United Nations climate change report that finds the world is fast approaching a dangerous temperature threshold.
He suggested that the fight against climate change is actually a “coordinated effort by the Chinese government to take on the United States and the West and take its place as world leader.”
Carlson accused American television reporters of playing into China’s hands.
“You’re looking at a collection of desperate, stupid middle-aged people hoping to keep their stupid TV jobs, adding scripts and hairspray and repeating the lies for you,” she said:
Carlson has been one of Donald Trump’s staunchest defenders on television, but behind the scenes he admitted he has very different feelings.
“I hate him with a passion,” she said in a text message discovered in Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News, adding that she “can’t wait” for a time when she can ignore Trump.
Carlson was criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike for a report claiming that the Jan. 6 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in a failed attempt to block the certification of the election and keep Trump in power were actually just “visitors”. ”
He repeated the talking points of white nationalists and was one of the biggest defenders on American television of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Carlson’s critics could not help but point out the irony and lack of self-awareness:
I’m a passionate and motivated journalist with a focus on world news. My experience spans across various media outlets, including Buna Times where I serve as an author. Over the years, I have become well-versed in researching and reporting on global topics, ranging from international politics to current events.
