Tucker Carlson just bit the hand that fed him talking points.
The right-wing firebrand called his former network, Fox News, “propaganda” while criticizing its pro-war message during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast on Monday.
“What they are doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them subject to more wars,” Carlson told Bannon.
Rattling off a list of “warmongers” that he said are urging President Donald Trump to intervene in Israel’s war with Iran, the retired cable news star host named Fox News anchors Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, as well as the network’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, and billionaire Republican donors, Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson.
“At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now,” the pundit went on.
Things between Fox News and its one-time headliner seem to have soured since he left his primetime perch at the network in April 2023.
Online, people couldn’t resist pointing out the irony of Carlson’s comments after he spent years pushing conspiracy theories and disinformation on his Fox News shows.
See some choice reactions right here:
Tucker is still salty. He was the worst of the worst on Fox until they fired him.

It’s a pity he couldn’t admit that when they were still paying him
