After bashing intelligence agencies and tech companies for their “highly insidious” curation of news about the war, Carlson said the question is “How do you know when you are being manipulated, as you certainly are.” He then welcomed Colonel Doug Macgregor onto the show with this peculiar introduction:
We always start with retired Colonel Doug Macgregor. Unlike so many of the TV generals you see all day long, McGregor is not angling for a board seat at Raytheon. Unlike so many of the so-called reporters you see on television, he is not acting secretly as a flak for Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon. No, Doug Macgregor is an honest man. So we’re gonna start, in place of a long script tonight, with a conversation with Doug Macgregor about what is actually going on in Ukraine.
Macgregor drew attention over a Fox News appearance days ago where he not only suggested the U.S. stay out of the war for Ukraine, but also let Russia take over Ukraine’s eastern territories. Macgregor’s proposals were subsequently torn apart by Griffin, who explained: “there were so many distortions in what he just said, and talking about the west and NATO vilifying [Vladimir] Putin and sounding like an apologist for Putin.”
