Jim Acosta: “In an AXIOS report highlights how House Republicans parroting Tucker Carlson’s pro Russian stance. Why do you think Tucker does this, and why do the Murdochs allow it? Do they not even care, or is it just about money and ratings do you think?
Gretchen Carlson: “Ratings I think, first and foremost, but this is the result of Fake News. You know we’re not only seeing the fallout of Fake News during the Trump era, but what happened with the insurrection on January sixth, and now its moving into other areas. Not just news, now its hitting science, the vaccines, and now into Cold War politics. I mean the idea that we are talking about whether or not we should support Ukraine or Russia, there wouldn't be a Republican on the planet that five years ago would have said they supported Russia over Ukraine. But this is where we are now. Conservative television news is certainly not the Conservative news that was out there just five years ago.”
Former host Gretchen Carlson slams Fox News: 'I think it's a complete disservice to our country'
BY BRAD DRESS
Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson on Friday criticized her former network and other conservative media outlets, saying they had devolved into "non-fact-based conspiracy theories" and "outright dangerous rhetoric" and that it is "a complete disservice to our country."
During an interview with CNN anchor Jim Acosta, Carlson pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection and recent pro-Russian comments made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson (no relation).
"I think it's a complete disservice to our country," she said. "I think it's a big difference between having a conservative opinion and having one that supports conspiracy theories."
Carlson was formerly a "Fox & Friends" co-host and the anchor of "The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson" on the network before departing Fox in 2016. She has alleged she was fired in retaliation for declining the sexual advances of former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes.
Here’s an example of the stupid leading the gullible on Fox.
FOX News has been morphing been into RT ever since Trump was elected. The intellectually lazy who don’t bother with critical thinking are lapping it up. And all FOX cares about is their ratings. Forget science, democratic values, or the facts!
