Studies show that the nation is currently suffering through what can accurately be described as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50197\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Fox News Pandemic<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-tucker-carlson-fake.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News. Tucker Carlson\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49941\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leading the way down to the depths of viral hell is Fox&#8217;s Senior Deceiver, Tucker Carlson. He has already peddled dangerous and flagrant falsehoods such as his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49069\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">promotion of quack cures<\/a><\/strong>, his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49069\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">paranoid conspiracy theories<\/a><\/strong> that the vaccines don&#8217;t work, his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50599\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">support for the unlawful use of fake vaccination cards<\/a><\/strong>, and his urging of viewers <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49195\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to make false police reports of child abuse<\/a><\/strong> against parents whose children wear face masks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that record of deliberate and deadly deception, Carlson is now complaining about social media sites trying to encourage the accurate and honest sharing of information upon which lives may depend. Because who would want that? On Wednesday night&#8217;s episode he delivered a diatribe against Instagram for what he falsely said was censorship. He was triggered by a message he received when he tried to post <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50937\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a video that was lousy with lies<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When we put that video on Instagram the following message appeared: &#8220;Make sure the information is reliable before sharing!&#8221; And then it attempts to redirect you to a site, &#8220;Get Vaccine Info.&#8221; From some approved site. I guess info about policies at a company they don&#8217;t work at? So if you&#8217;re not allowed to explain information that you have first hand, credible knowledge of, like your own employer&#8217;s own policies, then what rights do you have?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">he&#39;s being oppressed guys <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/olOg7Gt5v7\">pic.twitter.com\/olOg7Gt5v7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; nikki mccann ram\u00edrez (@NikkiMcR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NikkiMcR\/status\/1448452558683525124?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Carlson is outraged that Instagram politely asked that he be certain of the reliability of what he was about to post. How dare they care about the accuracy of critical health data? Especially when they are asking someone who is so renowned for spreading lies that his employer, Fox News, argued in court that he couldn&#8217;t be guilty of defamation because <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46853\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>&#8220;no reasonable person&#8221;<\/em> would believe him<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson falsely characterized Instagram&#8217;s message as censorship, claiming that he was not allowed to post his dishonest video. He also put his complaint in a chyron that read <em>&#8220;Big Tech Tries to Censor this Show Once Again.&#8221;<\/em> However, there was no censorship because Instagram allowed him to click through the message and post his video, which he did.<\/p>\n<p>Another chyron in this segment told another lie regarding the video that he did, in fact, post on Instagram. This one read <em>&#8220;There is no Vaccine Mandate at Fox News.&#8221;<\/em> The truth is that Fox News has a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/18\/media\/fox-mandate-vaccine-status\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">policy<\/a><\/strong> that does mandate that their employees get vaccinated. It&#8217;s a conditional mandate that requires them to be tested daily if they are not vaccinated. That&#8217;s almost exactly the same as the policy that President Biden recently announced, except that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/covidplan\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Biden&#8217;s policy<\/a><\/strong> is actually less strict. requiring only weekly tests for the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently Carlson doesn&#8217;t know the Fox News position on vaccinations, despite having <em>&#8220;first hand&#8221;<\/em> knowledge of his <em>&#8220;own employer&#8217;s own policies.&#8221;<\/em> And in his ignorance he has slandered Biden as a tyrant for <em>&#8220;forcing&#8221;<\/em> people to get vaccinated. But if Biden is <em>&#8220;waging war&#8221;<\/em> on the American people, than Fox News has escalated it. Yet, as was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50886\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">scathingly pointed out by MSNBC&#8217;s Chris Hayes<\/a><\/strong>, Carlson is too cowardly to call out his bosses, or demonstrate an iota of integrity by quitting. And that goes for the rest of the Fox News roster of hypocrites who are nearly as bad as Carlson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
