Carlson called it \u201cPatriot Purge,\u201d and according to Goldberg and Hayes \u2014 two leading conservative thinkers and columnists \u2014 the program was full of lies, distortions and unfounded conspiracy rumors. They won\u2019t be part of a network that allows such lying to go unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>Good for them.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I didn\u2019t watch it. I don\u2019t need to watch what I know it contains. I have heard Carlson spew much of the trash I know he poured into the production of \u201cPatriot Purge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to The Wrap:\u00a0<em>Carlson\u2019s \u201cPatriot Purge\u201d has drawn sharp criticism since its launch, with the Anti-Defamation League calling on Fox News to cancel it. \u201cLet\u2019s call this what it is: an abject, indisputable lie, and a blatant attempt to rewrite history,\u201d ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan A. Greenblatt said in a letter addressed to Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch. Greenblatt expressed alarm that the \u201cfalse narrative and wild conspiracy theories\u201d presented in \u201cPatriot Purge\u201d could \u201csow further division\u201d and possibly \u201canimate violence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fox News has given itself ample reason to be ashamed of itself. Carlson\u2019s phony documentary is just one more example of the lies that pour forth from a network that once boasted to be \u201cfair and balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The liars at Fox News have been given notice by two of their contributors, Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes, that they \u2014 the contributors \u2014 will not tolerate the lies broadcast by Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson.
