Tucker Carlson Surprises No One By Parroting New Russian Conspiracy Theory

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday parroted Russian propaganda linking Hunter Biden to Ukrainian biolabs that was disseminated by the Kremlin to justify its invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier on Thursday, Russia’s Defense Ministry released a colorful diagram that claims to prove that President Joe Biden’s son was involved in funding a secret U.S. bioweapons plot in Ukraine.

Several commentators predicted the claim would end up on Fox News, where Hunter Biden theories are ever-popular. Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast who monitors Russian media, suggested it was crafted with hopes of getting a Fox News feature.




Hours later, it got its shoutout.

The National Pulse is a news and investigations website founded originally as a political campaign blog in 2016, transitioning into a news site and podcast in early 2020.

Because of all this, we are routinely maligned by corporate media outlets and far-left bloggers who feel threatened by our ability to present the signal and cut through the noise of news media. They also campaign for us to be removed from ad networks. As a result, we rely on individual donations and memberships in order to fund the work of the website.

O'Reilly was fired for a lot less. Fox 'news' is going so deep into the propaganda rabbit hole that it risks turning into a caricature and lose viewers that aren't completely braindead.

... NO DOUBT that the message zone flooding from the GZP is amplified out of state and most likely through Russian channels.

I had no idea that he was a bio-weapons manufacturer.

Funny how he always gets accused of things that these other guys have actually done.
