Tucker Carlson Claims NSA Is Spying On Him To Cancel His Fox News Show

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

“Yesterday we heard from a whistleblower within the U.S. government who reached out to warn us that the NSA is monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air,” he said.

Carlson, a Fox News star who has pushed revisionist takes on the Capitol insurrection, stoked fears over teaching students about racism and advanced anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, said he had proof of government spying from his source, who knew about a story the show is working on that could have only come from Carlson’s texts and emails.

“The Biden administration is spying on us,” Carlson declared. “We have confirmed that.”

“Spying on opposition journalists is incompatible with democracy,” he added. “This is scary and we need to stop it right away.”

Did Eric Snowden tell you that?

1. Maybe they're spying on you because...

I don’t know... you’re a traitor?

[mitch96]

2. Man he is getting out there... grasping for ratings? nt

3. When Did This Low-life Suddenly Acquire a Hankering for Democracy??

Oh, yeah! When all his high-profile advertisers were scared off by his White Supremacy propaganda.

4. Sounds like a good idea to me (tho I've never watched.)

5. If Tucker is communicating with Putin's operatives, I hope he is under surveillance.

I am sick of these traitors who openly betray America.

[Botany]

6. Carlson just says (really has written for him) stupid shit in order to keep his name in the ...

... "news cycle" and or to get certain stories from getting too much attention. This a very calculated act
by Tucker and Fox. Although, I have always wondered just how deep into Fox News are the Russians?
So go for it NSA.

7. Well, maybe he thinks his followers are dumb enough

to believe you need the NSA to do that. Or maybe he or his writers thought "the NSA" sounded more serious than "the FBI."

8. Yay!

... great to hear the NSA is doing its job! However, since Tuckums' show is #1, I doubt FOX is anxious to cancel.

9. Communicate with foreign agents....

Expect that the NSA is going to pick up on that.

10. Tucker's and Sean's jobs are safe with huge paychecks to come.

Tucker's and Sean's jobs are safe with huge paychecks to come.

Fox does not want to lose their stars to OAN or Newsmax.

14. Tucker and Laura are second team at best to start with

Hannity was a space filler when it started and he’s just hung around.

Tucker is brash for CSPAN and that’s about it. Laura wouldn’t have come close to airtime back in their Roger Aisles hey days just for looks let alone her being a C league columnist.

11. A Good Idea

Finally a NSA mission I would support.
The real reason of course is that by claiming the government is trying to shut him down makes him and his supporters feel important - they are so important and dangerous to the government that he has to be shut down. And he must be telling the truth or the government wouldn't be after him. Just spreading more lies to the gullible.

12. Someone needs to stop listening to the voices in their head

Republican denial of reality has gone too far.

[Effete Snob]

13. Ha! Ain't nobody watching his show

He’s just trying to claim he has an audience.

15. So that same 43% of republicans would approve a democrat shutting down Fox news?

“Freedom of the press may be guaranteed in the Constitution. But a plurality of Republicans want to give President Trump the authority to close down certain news outlets, according to a new public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos and provided exclusively to The Daily Beast.”

16. Gee, I sure hope so!

[everyonematters]

17. If he really is under surveillance , there proabably is a good reason for it.

Maybe one or some of the people who invaded the Capitol fingered as a conspirator. His viewers should feel insulted with the stuff that he comes out with, but they don't know any better.

[lamp_shade]

18. Could be he's been TOLD his days are numbered... and he prepping to make NSA the scapegoat.

Could be he's been TOLD to start packing.

20. Tuckums seems to be getting a little paranoid lately.

Where is that confident little smirk we all know and love?

[Nexus2]

21. Huh, I didn't now delusions of grandeur fueled paranoia was contagious. [nt]

22. But he wants cameras in classrooms?
