Carl Cameron on Thursday accused his old network Fox News, where he was chief political correspondent until 2017, of betraying its audience with Tucker Carlsons upcoming series about the Jan. 6 insurrection.
A widely criticized trailer for Patriot Purge set to stream Monday on Fox Nation includes the baseless claim that the U.S. Capitol riot was a false flag operation.
Cameron has slammed the partisan misinformation pumped out by right-wing hosts at his former employer before. He and Cooper acknowledged Carlsons full series may not plunge as deeply into conspiracy theory territory as the promo suggests.
But Cameron, once known as Campaign Carl, said it was really frightening and, frankly, its a betrayal to the audience, its a betrayal to the public.
Some of what is espoused or is meant to espouse just in that trailer suggests that there is more violence to come, Cameron said. And thats a big, big rock around the authors neck if that trailer and this upcoming thing actually does that. There are clearly huge divides in this country, the media shouldnt be putting more gas on the fire. ..........(more)

... will suck in those lies and believe every word. What was it something like 80% of the
Fox watchers believed that Iraq really had WMDs?
