Carl Cameron, former chief political correspondent at Fox News joined MSNBC Deadline for White House On Tuesday, we will discuss the events surrounding the massacre in Buffalo that was perpetrated by white supremacists. Cameron believes it’s now time to throw certain Fox personalities into jail.
Host Nicolle Wallace struggled with reconciling the fact that the shooter alone is responsible for his actions and her dislike of Tucker Carlson, “Carl Cameron, I want to start with you and I want to ask you what goes on? I mean, obviously a mass shooter is responsible for the violence and the heinous acts that the mass shooter committed. It is also true that the ideology left in the mass shooter’s screed mirrors the ideology championed by Tucker Carlson. What happens at Fox News when something like this happens?”
Cameron claimed such questions are why he left, “I can’t even imagine. That’s partly why I ended up getting out of there.”
Cameron took things beyond 11 and suggested Fox’s Fox network, likely including Carlson to be taken to prison.
It’s, it really is kind of horrible to think that journalists with national and international capacity are putting together this type of nonsense. I think the president did a great job. I wish he had done a lot of this a lot sooner, and we need a lot more from the left and the middle, and we got to watch out because the Republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation, and when our two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble. That was acknowledged by the president. It’s time to actually start doing things and maybe taking some names and putting people in jail.
Fox is protected by the First Amendment, which will help them to avoid people like Cameron. The same First Amendment covers MSNBC from those like Cameron, who are trying to determine what information is accurate and not.

NICOLLE WALLACE: Carl Cameron, I want to start with you and I want to ask you what goes on? I mean, obviously a mass shooter is responsible for the violence and the heinous acts that the mass shooter committed. It is also true that the ideology left in the mass shooter’s screed mirrors the ideology championed by Tucker Carlson. What happens at Fox News when something like this happens?
CARL CAMERON: I can’t even imagine. That’s partly why I ended up getting out of there.
WALLACE: Yeah.
CAMERON: It’s, it really is kind of horrible to think that journalists with national and international capacity are putting together this type of nonsense. I think the president did a great job. I wish he had done a lot of this a lot sooner, and we need a lot more from the left and the middle, and we got to watch out because the Republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation, and when our two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble. That was acknowledged by the president. It’s time to actually start doing things and maybe taking some names and putting people in jail.
