As the first prime-time hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol gaveled in, Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his show Thursday by bragging about his network not carrying the proceedings live on its main cable channel.
“This is the only hour on an American news channel that won’t be covering their propaganda live,” Carlson said of the committee. “They are lying and we are not going to help them do it.”
Every other major television network and cable channel offered continuous special coverage of Thursday’s proceedings, including NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN.
Fox News took heat this week from Democrats and media pundits after it announced it would carry live continuous coverage of Thursday night’s hearing only on Fox Business Network and its other streaming, digital platforms. It will also make its coverage available to its local affiliates across the country.
