Tucker Carlson Debuts Twitter Show Saying The News Media Lies, Cites As An Example ‘UFOs Are Actually Real’

Tucker Carlson released the first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” Tuesday night, opening with a casual “hey, it’s Tucker Carlson” before moving into a discussion of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine and ridiculing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “our shifty, dead-eyed Ukrainian friend in the tracksuit” and “sweaty and rat-like.”

In the roughly ten-and-a-half minute episode, Carlson claimed that American citizens may be “the least informed people in the world.” Carlson, who was the highest-rated host in cable news before being forced out in April, insisted that “the media lie” and said that “mostly the just ignore the stories that matter.”

And what kinds of stories are being kept from us? Carlson—who said that “in journalism, curiosity is the greatest crime”—cited a widely reported claim by an Air Force veteran that the U.S. government had recovered proof of UFOs, including an intact aircraft of “non-human origin.” Carlson said of the story that “UFOs are actually real” and “in a normal country this news would qualify as a bombshell—the story of the millennium.”
