Ocasio-Cortez: FNC’s Carlson ‘Very Clearly’ Inciting Violence — Need to ‘Explore’ Legal Answers

PAM KEY 23 Apr 2023

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson and others on the network are “very clearly” inciting violence.

Psaki said, “This week, Fox News settled their defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million, a lot of money. It is now the largest defamation settlement in history. Do you think Dominion’s lawyers made a mistake not requiring Fox to acknowledge on air that it lied to its viewers?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “This was a corporation suing another corporation for material damages. Their job is to go in and get the most money that they can. I think that they did that. They are not lawyers for the American public. I think what is best for the country, what would have been best for the country, would have been to demand that and not settle until we got that, but that is not their role.”

She added, “We have very real issues with what is permissible on air. We saw that with January 6, and we saw that in the lead-up to January 6. How we navigate questions, not just of freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence, this is the line that we have to really explore through law.”

Psaki asked, “Do you think that media organizations or social media platforms should be accountable for being platforms for incitement?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t. When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these others folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence. That is the line that I think we have to be willing to contend with.”

FOX News just died.

The totalitarian left is able to indict, censor, cancel and shut down anyone they want.

 

[Matt Collins]

Once again Fox News/Corp showing their true colors by getting rid of one of their only hosts that elevated the level of discourse over there.



This just proves their slogan of "Unfair and imbalanced"

 

[Dr.3D]

RIP Faux News.

This is a good opportunity for a floundering organization to hire him and become more successful. An organization that isn't known for success, like the Minnesota Vikings.

Don Lemon got dumped too. Very interesting

Well, there goes the biggest (only) voice in the MSM against our involvement in Ukraine.

Yup, that they can.

The first time anybody gets any traction they shut them down.

For all their faults, the list is long.

RIP Faux News.

I seem to remember a similar sentiment when they got rid of Glenn Beck.

Unfortunately, loyal viewers are loyal.

Now we know something REAL BAD is coming.

It also proves once again that Marxist corporatism does not care about making money or enhancing owner or shareholder value.

You can have the very best "product" out there, one that millions and millions of people will pay good money for, but if it goes against the Revolutionary Standards, it's out.

Fox News suddenly announced it would part ways with opinion anchor and commentator Tucker Carlson, who hosted the highly-rated Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The separation came as a surprise Monday morning. It is unknown why Fox News and Carlson parted ways.

“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the press release read. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”

“Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21,” the company said. “Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

In April 2020, the Tucker Carlson Tonight program surpassed Hannity as the highest-rated primetime cable show, averaging an audience of 4.56 million viewers.

In the second quarter of 2020, the show saw an average audience of 4.33 million viewers. That was the largest number of viewers for any program in the history of cable news.

Tucker has been getting traction for a while now. How/why on earth they didn't do this earlier, I don't know. I would have thought they'd come up with an excuse to can him when he spoke out against involvement in Syria.

Yeah, I thought the same thing myself, there were couple of shows that I thought, oh yeah, he's toast after touching on this topic.
