Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused corporate media outlets Thursday of “covering up” what the leaked Pentagon documents actually reveal about the U.S.’ involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
“If you want to get really sick to your stomach, go pull a transcript from the Pentagon briefing today where news reporters asked flacks from the Pentagon, what are we gonna do to keep information like this secret in the future?” Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, said. “Not one question about the substance of the information. We are fighting a war against Russia directly, really? Don’t they have the biggest arsenal in the world? Not one question. How can we help you keep it secret?”
The FBI arrested Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Air National Guard, in Massachusetts, on charges relating to the posting of classified documents on various social media sites, Thursday. The documents covered various topics, including perceived weaknesses in Ukrainian defenses and plans to rebuild the country’s armed forces.
One of the documents appeared to show that NATO counties had a few dozen special operations troops in Ukraine, despite past denials that members of NATO had boots on the ground.

“Those are the questions and not only are the media covering up the substance of the story, which is not who leaked it, but what he leaked, they are covering up the crimes committed to get you this information,” Carlson continued. “The administration apparently used illegal surveillance techniques to identify this kid apparently with the help of The Washington Post and The New York Times.”
Carlson noted that the Washington Post published an article Thursday saying it had reviewed some of the documents allegedly leaked by Teixeira. The New York Times said in a Thursday article it had tracked down Teixeira.
“If it’s illegal to see these documents if you don’t have a security clearance, how is the Washington Post doing this legally?” Carlson asked. “They don’t have a security clearance. Well, obviously, they were given them by the U.S. Intel agencies and are working alongside them.”
The United States has sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, 2022, and announced in January they would send 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks following a December announcement that a battery of MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missiles would be provided to that country.
“The bigger problem is this is information that is relevant to the public in a so-called democracy. You cannot lie about things that jeopardize our collective future and get away with it and you certainly shouldn’t be doing that with the assistance of the news media,” Carlson continued. “The news media whose job it is to inform you of what your government is doing, but instead they are working actively late into the night to lie to you on behalf of their masters in permanent Washington. By the way, just last week, the plan was to lie in an even more grotesque way and blame Russia for this.”

It’s time for normal Americans to rise up and remove the current administration.
And burn down every media conglomerate who perpetrate the lies the government want’s spread. If biden and the neocons were winning the war they wouldn’t have had to blow up the Nord steam, wouldn’t need 100’s of abrams tanks, wouldn’t need billions of new arms money every month… Thank god for the truth tellers like Tucker..
The word I am going to start with is ” Orchestration”. What is not being told is; How did a person get into a Classified area and have his cell phone? No…, crickets chirping.
Remember Sandy Berger: In 2005, he was fined and sentenced to two years of probation, plus community service, for the unauthorized removal of classified material from the National Archives .He hid it in his underwear.
I have heard so far about all the stuff that was released and I say hogwash. I have taken tests with security cameras EVERYWHERE. Not even classified. Nothing was seen?
How could anyone even know who is in these rooms/buildings? What about a simple idea. Its all a lie. Now we are showing the “enemy” our part, our plans, our machinations of our deep state war machine. Last I knew, all social media for people who deal with secret things is monitored almost constantly, kinda like we all are.
No way this was not staged. Too many “Are you kidding me” moments and it is odd the perp was just a 21yr old guy who played video games. Sure he did. Just like the QShaman did all kinds of damage and was such a bad man, just like all the rest rotting in jail now.
One lie after another. Don’t believe it people. Also you do not need a phone to take pics. I did a quick search and found all kinds of fun gadgets to take pics that look like a pen, a thumb drive, a tie clip, all available on any of the even less popular spy stuff web pages. Does any one remember the sliding cameras from the spy movies?
Only thing I did not find was a cone of silence. Which would have come in handy for them.
