Former host Gretchen Carlson slams Fox News: 'I think it's a complete disservice to our country'

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson on Friday criticized her former network and other conservative media outlets, saying they had devolved into "non-fact-based conspiracy theories" and "outright dangerous rhetoric" and that it is "a complete disservice to our country."

During an interview with CNN anchor Jim Acosta, Carlson pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection and recent pro-Russian comments made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson (no relation).

"I think it's a complete disservice to our country," she said. "I think it's a big difference between having a conservative opinion and having one that supports conspiracy theories."

Carlson was formerly a "Fox & Friends" co-host and the anchor of "The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson" on the network before departing Fox in 2016. She has alleged she was fired in retaliation for declining the sexual advances of former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes.
