Tucker criticizes Carlson for censoring Facebook’s interview with Chinese virologist


Fox Face News host Tucker Carlson argued during a monologue on Wednesday night that Facebook and other tech giants are having trouble censoring speech around key issues in the coronavirus debate.

Carlson’s remarks came after a video of Tuesday’s meeting with Chinese virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan hit the warning label on Facebook, who claimed that China had “intentionally” released COVID-19 to the general public. Is.

“Within hours of his interview last night,” Carlson said, “a video of the segment reached 1.3 million people on Facebook.”

“And why not? The coronavirus epidemic has touched the lives of every American. And rightly so, people want to know where it came from. But Facebook still doesn’t want you to know that. So Facebook pressed the video, probably on behalf of the Chinese government.” Facebook officials made it difficult for users to view our segment, and those who found the video had to search for warnings that the interview “repeats information about Covid-19 that independent fact-checkers say is incorrect.”

“Instagram, which also owns Facebook, did the same. Dr. Yan’s account was completely suspended via Twitter. He didn’t explain why. Neither tech companies have a Ph.D. virologist like Dr. Lee. Has not explained how they would have known more about the transmission of the disease than. -Meng Yan. Instead, Facebook and Instagram are connected to three so-called fact checks that believe that Yan is wrong.

“But if you click on the links provided, you must have felt something strange. The fact check was published all the months ago, several months – in January, February and March, and they had nothing to do with Dr. Lee. -Meng Yen said on our show … A fact check is attacking a completely unrelated claim, the virus was patented and the vaccine is ready and ready to go.

“What does that have to do with the interview we did yesterday? No one will tell us. The truth is, and you know that if you had watched carefully, the experts would have been wrong many times during this epidemic … changing their prescriptions many times. . “

Carlson argued that the solution to the experts’ weakness is more speech. “The solution to this old problem, and we understood this. There are more informed voices in the conversation. That’s the way you make decisions, that’s the way you go to the truth. The diversity of perspectives. Facebook doesn’t believe this,” he said.

“They believe in censorship. Censorship does not make us intelligent. It does not inform us better. If it had been done, we would have spoken Russian now, the Soviet Union would have run the world. It could have worked. But instead the Soviets The union is extinct. It is broken under the weight of its own absurdity – the stupidity given by censorship. And that is the most basic lesson of dictatorships, all of them. Anything made on lies falls apart over time. “

Carlson also defends the spacecraft and its research. He said, “The Covid-19 is not of nature. It was built in a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The Chinese government deliberately released it to the world. That is its claim. Is it true? We have no way of confirming them.” We know that Dr. Li. Li-Meng Yan is not a quack, “Carlsen said.

“She has written peer-reviewed papers on coronavirus transmission in both Nature Magazine and The Lancet. They are two of the most popular publications in science. Her paper on the origin of Covid-19, which she published online, is not fair. It identifies so-called cut sites that are frequently used in genomic engineering that scientists can exchange scientists for sequences of other viruses to create what they described last night. “Frankenstein Biovapen.”
