Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer, D-N.Y., implored Rupert Murdoch to
deplatform the conservative views of Tucker Carlson, while Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., condemned Carlson for "incitement of
violence," and Fox News followed
suit.
Murdoch, co-chair of the Fox Corporation and the
executive chair of News Corp,
was given the warning just weeks ago outside the Senate chamber by Schumer, who
said Murdoch has "a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson,"
saying the former TV host has "perverted and slimed the truth."
"And for letting him go on again, and again, and
again," Schumer continued. "Not because their views deserved such
opprobrium but because our democracy depends on it."
Then, this weekend, former President Joe Biden's previous
White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, asked AOC whether conservative networks
should be held "accountable" for their reporting. And AOC
full-throatedly backed the censorship of Carlson's views.
"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," AOC told Psaki.
"And, when you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks
on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence."
Newsmax CEO
Christopher Ruddy denounced the "establishment" turn of his network's
leading conservative news competitor.
"For a while Fox News has been moving to become
establishment media and Tucker Carlson's removal is a big milestone in that
effort," Ruddy wrote in a statement. "Millions of viewers who liked
the old Fox News have made the switch to Newsmax and Tucker's departure will
only fuel that trend."
