Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson offered a damning assessment of the network as she explained just how bad its spread of conspiracy theories and misinformation has become.

During an appearance on the CNN segment, "Democracy in Peril," Carlson discussed many aspects of Fox News' critical role in the spread of misinformation and falsehoods. Since former President Donald Trump took office, conspiracy theories have been on the rise and Fox News has become a driving force for it.

Conservative primetime news anchor Tucker Carlson has been at the center of misinformation and the power of his opinion has begun to influence Republican members of Congress.

“This is the result of f**e news,” Carlson said. “You know, we're seeing not only the fallout from f**e news during the Trump era, but what happened with the i**********n on J****** 6th. Now it's moving into other areas. Not just news, now it’s hitting science with v*****es, and now it’s into Cold War politics.”

Carlson also touched on another significant topic as she shed light on the actions of her former Fox News colleagues, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. While they reportedly sent pleas to the White House for the violence to stop on J*** 6, they still put up a united front on-air and circulated a completely different narrative about the series of events that unfolded.

“I think the bigger story coming out of that is how disingenuous it was to be sending those texts of warning while then going on the air to the American people and doing a complete injustice and disservice by saying something completely opposite,” Carlson said, “and ginning up this whole reaction that it was just fine and patriotic for people to be there on J****** 6th.”

She went on to express concern about the journalistic state of her former network since the rise of Trump. Carlson also noted how conspiracy theories have become a fallacious replacement for opinion.

“Slowly but surely, this has morphed into eradicating any other point of view since the Trump era that is not just opinion,” Carlson said. “It's gone from an opinion, which was fine, to completely devolving into non-fact-based conspiracy theories and outright dangerous rhetoric, in my mind, and I think it’s a complete disservice to our country.”

Noting the dangers of biased journalism, Carlson explained how dangerous it is to only get information from one news source. She also stressed how imperative it is for Republican leaders and lawmakers to use their platforms to offer clarity regarding some of the dangerous false narratives perpetuated by Fox News.

“For the safety of the Republican Party and for our democracy, I wish more would, because this is not going to end well, in my mind,” Carlson said. “It's really hard to change people's opinions because they're only watching what they want to hear, you know? And that's the other problem that we have in society with the media right now, is that we're so siloed into only watching what we agree with. And so every day that thought process just gets reinforced time after time.”

Carlson also conceded that conservative media has changed considerably over the last five years as there is no longer a clear line between opinion and conspiracy theory. “Conservative television news is certainly not the conservative news that was out there even just five years ago,” Carlson said, later adding, “There’s a big difference between having a conservative opinion and having one that supports conspiracy theories.”

Ms Carlson is a bit disingenuous. Always has been. Take this comment from this piece: "ginning up this whole reaction that it was just fine and patriotic for people to be there on J****** 6th.”

Why wasn't it or isn't it "fine and patriotic" to demonstrate in front of the White House????????? Certainly this IS America and people can protest anything they want, is it not??????? She also supports the fully biased reporting of Biden. She is part of the press who hide stories about Biden that cast a negative view upon him and support the twisting of data to make his look good, as in numbers about inflation and the economy.

I watch a lot of the l*****t media. In fact, it is the vast majority of what I watch and it is very, very clear what they are doing, her included.

CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester: “Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got v**ed out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”

Chester: “[Trump’s] hand was shaking or wh**ever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation -- that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He's unfit to -- you know, wh**ever. We were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about. That's what -- I think that’s propaganda.”

Chester: “We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric.”

Chester: “I think there's a C***D fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they're [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They've already announced in our office that once the public is -- will be open to it -- we're going to start focusing mainly on climate.”

Chester: “It's going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be for c*****e c****e awareness.”

Chester: “It [C***D] will taper off to a point that it's not a problem anymore. C*****e c****e can take years, so they'll [CNN will] probably be able to milk that quite a bit…C*****e c****e is going to be the next C***D thing for CNN…Fear sells.”

She is just trying to make herself relevant. She is also so jealous of the success of those still at FOX News.

Because THEY broke the law. Are you saying that people shouldn't protest peacefully and patriotically? That is what she is saying! But I guess she is OK with the violent protests of B*M and A****A!!! You too, I guess!!

Breaking into the seat of government and threatening officials is another level of criminality.

Project Veritas is a group affiliated with James O'Keefe, a right-wing provocateur known for a series of deceptive videos attacking targets like Planned Parenthood and ACORN, a community organizing group.[1] As of 2017, Porject Veritas's main targets were the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups via "undercover 'stings' that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias."[2]

It's not just the 'l*****t media'.. it's all of them.. and they ALL want the chaos and distractions to continue. Carlson (like meghan kelly) was obviously NOT hired for her intellectual acumen and/or abilities-she is just more of the precocious and snotty 'eye candy' which all the big pervert and p*******e laden media networks are now intentionally hiring.. which at some point, the sexually confused/frustrated/and d*****t executives-the big kahunas running these propaganda spreaders-all hope to create the 'opportunity' to 'bond with'.. (horizontally anyway). This really upsets these golddigging floozies... ;)

Well no schitt! But the vast majority who were there did not do that and they, like everybody else, have the right to have their voices heard, no matter how ridiculous you might think their message is. Period. End of story. Carlson is indicating that she is against that.
