Tucker Carlson Admits He Sometimes Lies On His Show | HuffPost Latest News

Tucker Carlson is apparently telling the truth when he says he sometimes lies on his show.

The Fox News host admitted his relationship with the truth sometimes wavers as he was interviewed by fellow conservative media host Dave Rubin on Monday.

It happened after Rubin asked Carlson how CNN employees like Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter live with themselves ... when they just lie again and again and we have the internet to expose the lies.

Carlson seemed to take the question personally, to the point where he made this confession about his own relaxed relationship with factual accuracy.

I mean, I lie if Im really cornered or something, Carlson admitted. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just dont I dont like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.

Carlson then said there was a difference between spouting lies when youre cornered out of weakness and the systematic lying he claims is practiced by the anchors at CNN.

So if these people ask themselves why am I doing this? And they say, well, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system. OK, whos running the system? Youre lying to defend Jeff Bezos? Like, youre treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader, like, are you kidding me? How dare you do that.

You can see the exchange in the video below starting around the 35:40 mark.

Tucker first discusses how Washington D.C. became more polarized after the election of Donald Trump. He describes how his family was harassed at home and how that influenced him to leave Washington D.C for rural Maine. He also explains why he has never owned a TV or spent time on social media. Tucker also describes how he has been able to create a crowd sourced network to do the research for Tucker Carlson Tonight. Next, Tucker gives his take on the current state of media. He also describes the most shocking thing he learned while working at CNN. He describes how the liberal media is not really liberal at all. He also explains how the media has simply become a means of protecting the ruling class while practicing non-stop working class demonization. Tucker describes how the illiberal media has exposed itself as being more devoted to protecting billionaires while blaming the white working class for all of Americas problems. Finally, Tucker gives his thoughts on the Afghanistan collapse. He shares details and stories that prove that the Joe Biden administration and other leaders in government are far more incompetent than we imagined. He also explains why the loss of the Afghanistan War may be looked at as a major inflection point in Americas role on the global stage.\n\nWATCH Daves PREVIOUS INTERVIEW with TUCKER CARLSON:\nhttps://action.news/watch?v=a0UMMUP7K48&list=PLEbhOtC9klbAvD7li3RhdYMbPMLkNvvso&index=1\n\nRemember when the media actually did reporting?
