Former host Gretchen Carlson slams Fox News: “I think it’s a complete disservice to our country”

Former Fox News host Getchen Carlson criticized her former network saying they have resorted to “non-fact-based conspiracy theories” and “outright dangerous rhetoric” and is “a complete disservice to our country.”

According to The Hill, Carlson appeared on CNN in an interview with anchor Jim Acosta. She specifically pointed to statements made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson about January 6th and Russia.

She said, “I think it’s a complete disservice to our country. I think it’s a big difference between having a conservative opinion on shaving one that supports conspiracy theories.”

Gretchen Carlson was a former “Fox & Friends” co-host and the anchor of “The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson” on the Fox News network.

In the interview, she continued to criticize her former network and other conservative media outlets saying, “We’re seeing not only the fallout from fake news during the Trump era [to] what happened on Jan. 6.” But now it’s moving into other areas, not just news. Now it’s hitting science, the vaccines.”

She continued, “Now it’s into Cold War politics. 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. Conservative television news is certainly not the conservative news that was out there even five years ago.”
