During an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta Saturday, former Fox reporter Carl Cameron was asked: “Do you think the Murdoch family in charge of Fox will ever pull the plug on Tucker?”
Cameron, 60, compared Carlson’s shows to falsely shouting fire in a crowded movie theater.
Cameron said: “The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theater, cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse.”

He said: “The President has to be more forceful and sooner or later the law enforcement and the U.S. government is going to have to stop the lying because it’s causing people’s deaths.”

Cameron added: “It’s not just Fox, it’s social media in general. It’s on the internet. And we have to remember that a good portion of what we read is coming from folks who aren’t Americans, pretending to be Americans in order to gaslight them even worse.”
Carlson, host of a self-titled nightly show on Fox, has come under renewed scrutiny in the aftermath of the Buffalo supermarket shooting that killed 10 African American people on May 14.

Cameron, who left Fox in 2017, suggested that Carlson be denounced and de-platformed because he “puts out falsehoods that cause damage and violent, violent hate.”
During his time at Fox News, Cameron earned the nickname ‘Campaign Carl” as he followed various political campaigns across the country. After leaving the network, Cameron found his own news website, FrontPage Live.

Cameron did not directly accuse Carlson of preaching “The Great Replacement Theory” on his show.
Saturday’s comments were Cameron doubling down on his comments in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace on May 17.
In that interview, Cameron said that President Biden should be “taking some names and putting people in jail” following last week’s white supremacist massacre in Buffalo.
Cameron first began slamming his former employer in 2019 following the departure of Shepherd Smith from Fox.
