Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson is taking aim at the network, saying it pushes “fake news.”
During an appearance on CNN, Jim Acosta played a clip of Tucker Carlson asking, “Why would we take Ukraine’s side and not Russia’s side?”
Acosta proceeded to ask Gretchen Carlson, “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?”
She replied, “Ratings, I think, first and foremost. But this is the result of fake news. You know, we’re seeing not only the fallout from fake news during the Trump era, but what happened with the insurrection on January 6. And now it’s moving into other areas, not just news. Now it’s hitting science with vaccines. And now it’s into Cold War politics.”
The former Fox News host continued, “I mean, the idea that we would be 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 would have supported Russia over Ukraine. But this is where we are now. Conservative television news is certainly not the conservative news that was out there even just five years ago.”
