Recently Fox News host Tucker Carlson made allegations that the National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on him.
The NSA would later deny these claims made by the Fox News host. Still, Carlson remained adamant that the government spied on him as he attempted to pursue an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, the primetime news host is reportedly “furious” at the network’s executives for not defending his claims. CNN reports Carlson has complained in what he sees as a lack of support concerning the allegations against the NSA.
“Tensions are sky-high,” a source close to the situation told CNN. Meanwhile, another stated that Carlson has “always had tension with” management, but when it comes to this situation, he’s “extra pissed.”
Nonetheless, Carlson denies this report that he’s angry with Fox News executives. In a text to a CNN reporter, the host called it “absurd.”
“I’m not mad at anyone at Fox,” Carlson said. “If I was, I’d say so. I’m mad at you for lying relentlessly. What a loathsome person you are. Please print that.”
