The left-wing opposition research arm of the Democrat Party, Media Matters, released a leaked video Monday showing fired Fox News star Tucker Carlson trashing Fox Nation, the network’s subscription streaming service while speaking on the phone with someone with the network. However, many are saying the video is a deep fake AI that duped Media Matters and those who fell for what was said
“Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks,” Carlson (or AI fake Tucker) said while discussing coverage of a potential interview with Andrew Tate.
“It’s hard to use that site,” Carlson continued. “I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane. They’re making, like, Lifetime movies but they don’t work on the infrastructure of the site. Like, what? It’s crazy, and it drives me crazy because we’re doing all this extra work and no one can find it. … We’re working like animals to produce all this content, and they’re ignoring the fact that the site doesn’t work. I think it’s like a betrayal of our efforts. That’s how I feel, so of course, I resent it.”
Carlson ultimately interviewed Tate in August 2022, with much of the interview airing on Fox Nation.
Since 2021, Carlson released two documentaries on the streaming platform, as reported by Rolling Stone.
“Media Matters points out that Lachlan Murdoch had told investors in 2021 that Carlson “had helped increase Fox Nation subscriptions by 40 percent,” the outlet reported.
