PolitiFact – As America watched Jan. 6 hearing, Fox viewers heard Tucker Carlson’s alternate reality

As the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection held its first primetime hearing, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a nonstop segment rehashing many of the same falsehoods about the U.S. Capitol attack he has promoted for months.

Per the above article from PolitiFact: Fox News host Tucker Carlson didn’t just ignore the first primetime House hearing dedicated to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He spent the show rehashing many of the same falsehoods about the attack he has promoted for months.

As other major TV networks carried the June 9 hearing live, Fox News stuck to its regular lineup of pro-Trump opinion hosts while delegating live coverage to the less popular Fox Business Network and streaming platform.

Carlson and fellow host Sean Hannity ran hour-long shows with no commercial breaks and featured guests who have promoted discredited theories around the day. Laura Ingraham, host of the 10 p.m. slot on Fox News, went to commercial a few times.

Carlson, perhaps the most conspicuous promoter of falsehoods downplaying the attack, previously dismissed the Capitol insurrection as a “footnote” in American history.

The hearings Fox didn’t air included revelations about its own hosts. Committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., highlighted texts from Hannity to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Jan. 7 calling for “no more stolen election talk.”

Aly Colón, a professor of media ethics at Washington and Lee University, said Fox News’ decision to ignore the hearing represented a “breach” in terms of informing its audience.

Carlson falsely suggested that President Joe Biden could not possibly have received millions more votes than President Barack Obama and espoused suspicion about votes counted after Election Day, arguing it justified the rioters’ anger. (Fact-check.)

He once again claimed that the attack was “not an insurrection” and downplayed the role of white supremacists. He claimed “not a single person in the crowd that day was found to be carrying a firearm,” even as court documents show several rioters had firearms and dozens more wielded knives, bats and other real and makeshift weapons. He claimed Ashli Babbitt, the woman fatally shot by police as she tried to force her way further into the Capitol, “posed no conceivable threat to anyone.” He suggested that a man named Ray Epps was proof of FBI involvement, even though Epps told House investigators he has no FBI ties and other evidence undercuts the conspiracy theories surrounding him.

Carlson misleadingly claimed that police let the rioters inside the building, focusing on one video from a day-long event that saw the rioters fight through police lines and assault about 140 officers.

Carlson’s lineup included several right-wing media personalities whose blog sites have spread false claims about the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection, such as Julie Kelly of the website American Greatness, Sean Davis of the Federalist, and Darren Beattie of Revolver News.

Beattie, a former White House speechwriter who was fired in 2018 after appearing on a panel with a white nationalist, played a starring role in “Patriot Purge,” Carlson’s three-part film that sought to recast Jan. 6, 2021, as a FBI-led false-flag attack meant to frame, trap and “purge” Trump voters in a “new war on terror.” Beattie and Carlson issued similar warnings on Carlson’s show June 9.

“He speeds through a litany of information, questions and commentary, leaving viewers dazzled but dizzy,” Colón said. “The content matters less than the delivery. It reinforces what his viewers already believe.”

 

 

You Literally Can’t Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox’s Lawyers

It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary. “
