Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is accusing the network he once called home of operating as a “propaganda hose” aimed at manipulating its older viewers into supporting war, including the latest U.S. entanglement in Iran.
Carlson, once one of Fox News’ most influential and highest-rated personalities, has increasingly broken from the Trump-aligned right in recent months. His departure from the network in 2023 marked the beginning of a shift, with Carlson growing more outspoken against U.S. foreign policy, particularly military involvement in the Middle East.
Appearing on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Carlson condemned Fox News and its primetime personalities, most notably Sean Hannity, for cheerleading Israeli strikes on Iran and pushing for U.S. military involvement.
He called out what he described as the network’s deliberate effort to stir pro-war sentiment among “elderly” viewers.
“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 said.

Huffington Post: Cringe Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt Clip Perfectly Sums Up Trump’s White House, Say Critics
A moment from White House press secretary Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt’s Tuesday briefing is going viral, with critics saying it perfectly encapsulates the Trump White House’s approach to foreign affairs.
[Bimbo #1] Leavitt was asked if the White House had a response to the presidential election in South Korea, where liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung defeated conservative rival Kim Moon Soo.
“Yes, we do. In fact. Let me find it here for you,” [Bimbo #1] Leavitt said, flipping through a binder in front of her.
“Should be somewhere here,” she said, still flipping through.
After a pause and more shuffling, she added: “Hmm. We do not.”
She laughed awkwardly as she said, “But I will get you one,” before abruptly moving on to a new question from another reporter.
The clip quickly gained traction on social media.
Critics said it showcased the Trump administration’s lack of preparation and attention to world events.
“A total clown show,” remarked the Republicans Against Trump group.
2paragraphs: Trump’s Spokesperson Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt “Just Took Away His Presidential Immunity Defense” Says Prosecutor
President Donald Trump hosted a dinner at his golf club in Virginia on Thursday evening for the top 220 holders of his personal $TRUMP meme coin. The top 25 in the group of investors participated in a VIP reception with the president.
When a reporter asked White House spokesperson Karoline [Bimbo #1] Leavitt if the list of attendees was going to be made available to the public, she replied, “The president is attending it in his personal time.”
Republican political pundit and Trump critic Tim Miller responded: “Presidents don’t get ‘personal time.’ There’s not like a magic suit you wear when you are doing official business and one where you are just Donald from Queens.”
Former Republican political pundit and Supreme Court attorney George Conway (ex-husband of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign manager Kellyanne Conway) replied to Miller: “Actually, it’s fine. If Trump is saying he’s doing something on his “personal time,” then obviously that means he’s not acting within what the Supreme Court calls “the outer perimeter of his official responsibility,” which, in turn, means he’s not immune from criminal prosecution.”
