Definitely need to take that source with multiple grains of salt. I'm not being political or liberal in any way, just the facts. To defend themselves against one lawsuit, Fox News argued that Tucker Carlson's rantings were for entertainment purposes and shouldn't be taken as fact. Currently, Fox News is getting some unwanted publicity as some internal emails are released showing that they didn't believe some of the statements they were making on air. Their recent track record, by their own words, doesn't look very good.
