Tucker Carlson breaks silence on Fox firing, targets US media and political system

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson made his first on-camera appearance Wednesday since his abrupt firing from the network this week, releasing a taped statement in which he criticized the state of political discourse on U.S. television.

In it, he says there has not been a "legitimate debate" about issues including war, civil liberties, natural resources or emerging science for a "long time."

"Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it," he said.

Carlson, however, did not address his departure from Fox, which came less than a week after parent company Fox Corp settled a $787.5 million defamation lawsuit by Dominion.

He didn’t say U.S. media. He said Media, that includes you!

Where else am I going to get news of the green M&Ms

Tucker being fired reminds me of Star Wars, "if you strike(fire) me down I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine"

Phil Donahue was extremely successful. He was Antiwar 2003 regarding MiddleEast. He was let go for expressing the truth.

Getting fired for telling the truth is a badge of honour.

[humblehillhorses]

He’s 💯 right. I’m 29, it’s so obvious what is going on, it’s not right.

[davidwells]

It’s true though. Our government is run by the agencies it doesn’t matter who’s president

[bobwoods]

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to sit back and do nothing. Too much hate these days.

Its days after he talked about big pharma

[saxonthegermanshepherd]

How come Brian Stelter, Chris cuomo and Don lemon haven’t got this much attention when fired?

[trevormacintosh]

Ah yes. There aren't many people left saying true things. And according to the email and text messages the came out of that dominion lawsuit, we know you're not one of them.

[Tina-bsot]

Truth always comes to the surface no matter what!

[mikegarrow]

Once again Global...nice editing job ....so glad we can still get the whole story without the help of Legacy media.

Tucker video got more Views than all Mainstream Media cable combined. 😂

[renbooks]

Tucker is awesome and he has every right telling you truth.

[RobinMcBeth]

I told them they would regret unleashing Cerberus. Brethren, it's our duty to make sure they boomers and the normies can see him on their devices.
