In a powerful speech, a prominent conservative figure exposes the media’s divisive tactics and calls for unity in addressing the nation’s real issues.
At his first public appearance since the cancellation of his popular prime-time show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the former Fox News host fired shots at the media, accusing them of perpetuating a “manufactured” national division.
Speaking in Oxford, Alabama, at a fundraiser for Rainbow Omega – a faith-based nonprofit supporting individuals with mental and developmental disabilities – he highlighted the media’s dishonesty as one of the significant issues undermining America.
Carlson joked about his unemployment status during his speech, which took place at the Oxford Performing Arts Center, filled to its 1,215-seat capacity. Fox News and Carlson parted ways after over a decade, with his last program airing on April 21st. The network’s ratings have since plummeted, with left-wing MSNBC surpassing Fox News for the first time in years.
The Epoch Times reported that Carlson’s hour-long speech focused on political and social issues, which he believes could lead to the “end of democracy” and the “enslavement” of the American people. He questioned the purpose of American politics, expressing concern over the lack of attention given to real-life issues affecting everyday Americans. He argued that the media is intentionally keeping Americans divided and angry at each other.
Carlson asserted that the divisions in society are largely “manufactured,” with one such division stemming from alleged racism. He recalled the excitement surrounding Obama’s first term and the hope for a post-racial America, which unfortunately never materialized. Instead, he said, Obama’s second term perpetuated racial divisions and hatred.
The former Fox News host attributed these divisions to lies spread by journalists and the “overwhelming majority” of American media, which he believes is responsible for much of the “propaganda.” He accused them of deliberately ignoring the issues that matter, such as the sagging economy and active conflicts with Russia, calling it “classic propaganda.”
Carlson also criticized the media for their coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting how narratives can control people’s thoughts and actions. He argued that the ultimate goal is to enslave people by taking away their choices and, in turn, their dignity and humanity.
In his impassioned speech, Carlson painted a picture of a media landscape that actively works against the best interests of the American people, perpetuating divisions and distractions instead of focusing on the real issues at hand.
