The Fox News producer who authored the network’s chyron Tuesday night labeling President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” has parted ways with the company, two sources told The Daily Beast on Thursday.
“First they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen,” Carlson claimed. “Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned. He had been at Fox for more than a decade. He was considered one of the most capable people in the building. He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately.”
Carlson then turned to the network’s public statement about the chyron, which was shown on screen during the tail end of what had once been the time slot for, Fox said the chyron “was taken down immediately and was addressed.” “That was all true, but it was not enough to save Fox News from the ensuing scandal,” said Carlson, citing criticisms of the right-wing network’s programming decision from the likes ofCarlson also complained about White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying Wednesday that Fox airing the chyron was “wrong.” Notably, Fox NewsThe firebrand host then went on a sarcastic diatribe suggesting that his longtime producer’s chyron was, in fact, accurate.
“Of course Joe Biden’s not a wannabe dictator. Just because he’s trying to put the other candidate in prison for the rest of his life for a crime he himself committed doesn’t mean he has a totalitarian impulse. That’s absurd! It takes a lot more than jailing your political rivals to earn the title of ‘wannabe dictator,’” Carlson said sarcastically.
Carlson went on to portray Biden as a dictator by pointing to how the mother of deceased Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt was arrested—afterhim for it, saying it was “very insightful.”Though his years of service earned McCaskill some kind words from Carlson, a lawsuit filed by his former colleague, Abby Grossberg, paints a different picture.
