Former Fox News Commentator Calls Out Hypocrisy of Network's Hosts in Blistering Essay

The conservative Fox News network has recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The network came under fire earlier this year after a number of its anchors peddled conspiracy theories regarding the lifesaving vaccines against COVID-19, despite the network having robust vaccine requirements of its own.

More recently, it's come to light that many of these hosts—like far-right darlings Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham—were texting with then-President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, during the January 6 insurrection, urging him to intercede and convince Trump to tell rioters to vacate the Capitol.


Meanwhile, less than 24 hours later and for months since, they've downplayed the severity of the riots, Trump's role in them, and absurdly questioned whether the riots were even mounted by Trump supporters in the first place.

Far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson is even promoting—through his Fox Nation series Patriot Purge—that the insurrection was actually a secret government operation to defame Trump supporters. The dangerous lies Carlson peddled on his show led to the resignation of two Fox News contributors in protest.

Now, one of those contributors—Jonah Golberg—has penned an essay slamming the network for hypocrisy.

After emphasizing the "restraint" he applied not to bash his former workplace, Goldberg said "screw it" in a lengthy op-ed for The Dispatch, writing:

"I know that a huge share of the people you saw on TV praising Trump were being dishonest. I don’t merely suspect it, I know it, because they would say one thing to my face or in my presence and another thing when the cameras and microphones were flipped on."

He specifically pointed to the texts to Meadows:

"The significance of those texts isn’t that they recognized the truth of that day. What’s relevant is the contrast of that private behavior with their public behavior over the 11 months that followed."

Twitter users applauded Goldberg's evaluation.

 


 


 


 


 

And they didn't have much pleasant to say about Fox.

 


 


 


Goldberg concludes his piece with a quote from Russian novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn:

“You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.”

Indeed.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
