The infamous Capitol protest that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021, was a life-changing event for many Americans. After that shocking day, the House moved to conduct a series of investigations to discover the truth of what happened at the Capitol and finally bring justice to those who were affected.
In 2022, the first House committee hearing took place, and members laid out their findings live for the television audience to see for themselves (via NPR). While many other media outlets chose to broadcast the historic live hearings, one news outlet was notably not part of that list. In a startling decision, Fox News chose to not air the live J6 hearings. Instead, several prominent commentators with the network were allowed to provide unfiltered commentary over the hearings.
Among these commentators was Tucker Carlson. The decision to allow Carlson and others to provide their own take on the J6 hearings was approved by none other than Lachlan Murdoch, per CNN. Murdoch has been labeled a close friend and supporter of Carlson. Tim O’Brien, senior executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion, even went so far as to say Murdoch was the reason Carlson stayed with the network for as long as he did. “Tucker Carlson exists because Lachlan Murdoch wants him to exist,” O’Brien stated (via Newsweek).
