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."
