The problem with the first was that it required Trump to disavow many of his most devoted supporters, something he was loath to do. The problem with the second was that too many fellow Republicans were appalled by the riot to make the defense viable. When word emerged of the phone call in which he tried to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to aid his reelection campaign, Trump first tried to bury the incident; when that proved impossible, he began insisting that the call “ (Although Carlson claims a media cover-up on the footage McCarthy gave him, other organizations [have in fact sued to obtain it](https://twitter.com/KFaulders/status/1632910415788224513).) On the other, it fits with a long-standing Donald Trump approach of demanding that his supporters believe him rather than their lying eyes. Early on, two defenses of Trump and the riot emerged. Equally strange is his insistence that they were “people who believe in the system,” given that they were interfering with the system. Carlson notes that while standing at the dais in the Senate, Chansley offered a prayer for Capitol Police officers, but claims that “you would never have known from the media coverage.” Awkwardly, the footage he plays to show this includes a watermark revealing its origin: It was captured by the New Yorker journalist Luke Mogelson, Carlson can’t erase the images that everyone has seen of chaos and destruction, so he tries to recontextualize them. Look at the hallways they didn’t smear feces on and statues they didn’t deface!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Handed some 41000 hours of Jan. 6 security footage, Fox News' Tucker Carlson has launched an impassioned new effort to explain away the ...

Tucker Carlson savaged conspiracy theorist lawyer Sidney Powell in jaw-dropping unsealed messages released in Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to clarify the context of Rupert Murdoch’s testimony about Mike Lindell. “It’s measurably hurting the company. “If it is a genuine advertisement and they pay for it, that’s it.” Internal Fox communications appeared to show their most watched hosts fretting about conservatives fleeing to the competition. The stock price is down. “Sorry but she is.” Biden did indeed hold onto his lead in all of those states. Though he insisted Fox itself never endorsed the idea of a stolen election, Murdoch conceded “maybe Lou Dobbs, maybe Maria, as commentators,” referring to “I’m actually shocked…It needs to stop immediately, like tonight,” Carlson wrote in the message. In May 2021, Dominion filed a lawsuit in Delaware stating that Fox turned a “flame” of former President Donald Trump’s election lies into a “forest fire.” Fox News was one of the first news outlets to call the election in Arizona for President Joe Biden, angering Trump supporters who flocked to right-wing networks like One America News and Newsmax. Is it ‘unarguable that high profile Fox voices fed the story that the election was stolen and that January 6th an important chance to have the result overturned’?” Murdoch asked in an email dated Jan. Dominion provided a slew of other Murdoch quotes in the unsealed batch, including one hoping his anchors wouldn’t follow Trump in becoming a “sore loser.”

Some viewers questioned the authenticity of one section of the video, which showed Jimi Hendrix performing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“Some of you have asked, ‘Isn’t Jimi Hendrix dead?’ ” he said. The video you’re about to see tells a different story.” Some viewers, however, questioned the authenticity of one section of the video, which showed a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Jimi Hendrix.

New emails and texts released in Dominion Voting System's case against Fox News highlighted internal strife among hosts including Tucker Carlson.

"We already know they will say and do anything to try to win this case, but to twist and even misattribute quotes to the highest levels of our company is truly beyond the pale." By January 2021, according to the new filings, network chief Rupert Murdoch emailed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and said, "It's been suggested that our prime time three should independently or together say something like 'the election is over and Joe Biden won. "I think the three of us have enormous power," Ingraham adds. "We are officially working for an organization that hates us," Ingraham texted Hannity and Carlson on November 16, 2020, according to court documents.
