Tucker Carlson: People underestimate how much news anchors simply repeat CIA talking points

Tucker Carlson spoke about which CNN anchor he thinks serves as a mouthpiece for the CIA during an interview with podcast host Adam Carolla:

The intel agencies have a big effect on what is broadcast on television, and what you see on Facebook and Google as well. They’re all up and down Facebook and Google, as I’m sure you know.

And there are a lot of anchors, including people I know well and have worked with at different networks, I’m thinking of one in particular, a national security reporter, who is just a mouthpiece for the Pentagon and the CIA and is knowingly telling lies on their behalf. It’s very, very common and I can think of a number of people at CNN who I know for a fact are doing that exact thing. They’re reading government propaganda from the intel agencies knowingly. I’m sure they’ve got some internal rationale that allows them to get up in the morning and face themselves despite having done something that dishonest. But I’m telling you, bottom line, I know that is a fact. I know that is true, I’m not speculating at all.

In particular, on the national security stuff, there are very well-known national security reporters, I’m thinking of one female national security reporter in particular who just reads lies from the national security state. And it is wildly frustrating.
