During a recent episode of his show, “Fearless,” Blaze TV host Jason Whitlock said he has no plans to continue watching Fox News following the unexpected departure of Tucker Carlson earlier this week. Whitlock, who often appeared as a guest on Carlson’s program “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” expressed his disappointment after the network announced on Monday that Carlson was leaving for undisclosed reasons.

“If any of the producers at Fox News are watching, don’t bother contacting me,” he said. “I rarely responded anyway when hosts from the other shows reached out. I don’t have a problem with Jesse Watters; I don’t have a problem with Laura Ingraham; I don’t have a problem with Sean Hannity; I don’t have a problem with any of the people on Fox News.”

According to Whitlock, he doesn’t find Fox News helpful and has no intention of criticizing those who work at the network.

“It’s so crystal clear that Fox News is now part of the corporate mainstream of America,” Whitlock said. “There’s no interest in truth, no interest in challenging the prevailing powers, they’re in on it, and they’ve been in on it. Now they’re fully in on the transitioning of American society from a patriarchy to a matriarchy.”

Whitlock claimed that Fox News’ downfall was unavoidable since the departure of Roger Ailes from the network, citing weak leadership and a lack of vision as contributing factors.

“This happens when the true lion, the true visionary, gets too old, turns his company over to his kids, turns it over to Suzanne Scott, a woman at Fox News; the company is weak, it’s matriarchal, I won’t be participating.”

Whitlock clarified that he wasn’t suggesting that Fox News cannot operate without him but instead emphasizing that many others share his perspective.

“We have no use for Fox News moving forward,” he added. “They are no different than CNN, MSNBC, and all the rest. Whoever they put in there next, don’t fall for the gimmick. They will pretend to be outspoken, but they are controlled opposition, the entire network.”

Greg Gutfeld: Debate Partnership Between Fox and Univision A Disaster

After the second 2024 Republican Presidential debate Wednesday, many questioned the inclusion of Univision’s Ilia Calderón as a moderator. Greg Gutfeld of Fox News — who produced the debate — is in that camp.

“My problem with the debate wasn’t really the candidates at all, because the outcomes you get are created by the design. And Fox joining Univision, perhaps, was the worst partnership I’ve ever seen since Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney,” Gutfeld joked during The Five Thursday.

“I mean, you have a host unload a litany of clichés, whose premise is, we challenge successfully every day, and yet they were treated as approved truths. She had no follow-up to each one, which was weird, so it was like a deliberate list prepared by the DNC to tweak the candidates and to tweak the audience. It didn’t feel like a journalism debate to me. It felt like The View without pastries.”

Gutfeld’s comments came after he commended Fox News anchor Dana Perino for her performance during the debate.

“I did not envy you,” Gutfeld said. “I was watching it. You were pretty much shouldering the load for two hours, and you didn’t break a sweat. It was amazing.”
