CNN’s Keilar Calls Fox News the ‘Mothership’ of Disinformation in ‘Misinformation Machine’ Segment

EXCERPT:

KEILAR: "We can’t discuss the tsunami of disinformation jeopardizing American democracy without talking about the mothership, Fox. I don’t call it news, even if they do, because it’s not news. It is lucrative, however, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars for Fox Corp. last year as it shovels out stuff like this."

CARLSON: "Of all the things that January 6th was, it was definitely not a violent terrorist attack."

KEILAR: "So, let’s not take the word of Fox’s chief propagandist on that. Let’s see what Chris Wray, Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI, says."

WRAY: "Unfortunately, as you noted, Mr. Chairman, January 6th was not an isolated event. The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it’s not going away anytime soon."

KEILAR: "Tucker Carlson not one to let that get in the way of gaslighting 3 million people a night. He explains it away by amplifying a conspiracy theory that it was actually the FBI that instigated the attack on the Capitol."
