Fox News’ Carlson went to bat for Alex Jones saying NYT lied about his book being the Best Seller list.
QUICK FACTS:
- Fox News’s Tucker Carlson called out the New York Times, saying they lied about a best-selling book from last week.
- According to Carlson, the Times had claimed that a book by actress Jannette McCurdy called I’m Glad My Mom Died was the top best-selling book.
- But, according to Carlson, the book The Great Reset by Alex Jones, an exposé on the dangers of globalism, was the real best-selling book of the week and took a large lead over McCurdy’s book. “Alex Jones had the biggest book in the country,” said Carlson. “But The New York Times lied about that because The New York Times doesn’t want you to know that.”
- The Fox anchor said McCurdy’s book sold 34,686 copies, while Jones sold more than 56,000 copies of “The Great Reset,” a book that takes a highly critical look at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its plan to destabilize the current economic system worldwide.
- “This is about organized fraud,” Jones said during his live Sunday show. “Because imagine if it’s a nationalist or populist book that is popular and goes to the top five or ten or number one, and they block it, well that’s what they’re going to do with ratings. It came out that Nielsen will give higher ratings to CNN or MSNBC than they actually have. Or they’ll cheat in an election and give more votes to the establishment candidate than the other. What it is is fraud. They’re willing to put their finger on the scale.”
WHAT CARLSON SAID:
- “Last week, the paper told us that the best-selling book in the United States was a title called I’m Glad My Mom Died by a child actress called Jennette McCurdy. But that was not true. That book was not the best-selling book in America,” Carlson explained on his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
- “In fact, the best-selling book in America last week was The Great Reset: And The War For The World written by Alex Jones. Jones sold more than 56,000 copies of his book last week,” Carlson said Monday.
- “Jannette McCurdy, whatever her merits – we have no idea – sold 34,686 copies of her book. So Alex Jones sold a lot more books,” he continued.
- “The New York Times wants you to believe that Alex Jones is more discredited than The New York Times, the paper that started the Iraq War by lying about weapons of mass destruction and got a million people killed. ‘But Alex Jones is worse, he’s a mental patient, no one listens to him!’ So they lied about his book. What else are they lying about? You wonder,” Carlson concluded.
BACKGROUND:
- The New York Times could be seen as having an ulterior motive in covering up the anti-WEF best seller, due to the news org’s strong ties to the think tank.
- The Times is listed as an official partner of the WEF, with the publication being called a “driving force behind the World Economic Forum’s programs,” like the Forum’s infamous ‘Great Reset‘ agenda.
