Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday excoriated his former employer, accusing them of using a “propaganda hose” to build support for war with Iran.
“What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit,” he told “War Room” host Steve Bannon. Carlson specifically took issue with conservative media personality Mark Levin’s frequent prime time appearances, saying the network never believed he was a solid TV personality and that his presence was part of an effort to shift the narrative.
“He’s terrible on TV. And again, I never had any problems with him at Fox… So I just, like, kind of stayed away, but they didn’t want to put him on TV because he’s like, screechy,” he said. “It’s like listening to your ex-wife scream about alimony payments. It’s like not appealing. So they wouldn’t put him on TV, and then, you know, Sean pushed and they gave him some kind of weekend show that nobody watched.”
“Now, I don’t have a TV, but someone was just who owns a TV was just telling me that he’s like all over prime time,” he added. “So what is that? That’s not by popular acclaim, that’s not like their viewer surveys, like, you know, ‘we need a lot more Mark Levin. Less Jesse Waters, more Mark Levin.”
