Over the years, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has become known for his scathing monologues.
They have become a regular feature on “The Five” and his late-night Fox News show, often making fun of life's absurdities and contradictions.
Over the weekend, Gutfeld lambasted the “censorship industrial complex” in his latest commentary, sparing no one – not even his employer: Fox News.
On Saturday night, Gutfeld praised Elon Musk for telling “cowardly advertisers” to go f*** themselves for abandoning X (formerly Twitter). However, Gutfeld then criticized his own network for firing Tucker Carlson.
“The fact is, Musk may be the last man standing between real freedom of speech and the suffocating block of this censorship industrial complex, which is made up of government, media and tech forces,” Gutfeld told his audience. “He realizes that advertisers have no spine and can be easily cowed by special interest groups in cahoots with political allies.”
Then he dropped a rhetorical bombshell: “If you don't believe me, I've got two words for you: Tucker Carlson.”
Audible gasps could be heard in the studio, as Mediaite reported:
The host suggesting his own network is part of or caves in to the ‘censorship industrial complex” drew gasps from the audience, a few “wow” exclamations from his panelists, and a “woohoo” of his own, too. Not to mention big reaction on X, where the not-subtle dig was quickly picked up on and shared.
Carlson this week also spoke about his being fired, in a podcast interview with comic and Trump activist Roseanne Barr.
