Former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (right) has offered his two cents on the damage Fox News has caused by “fanning the flames of all these conspiracy theories” on his network.
Duncan weighed the consequences of the network’s coverage on the Republican Party — and on viewers — during a “State of the Union” panel on Sunday.
“What happened on Fox News was hard on the Republican Party, wasn’t it?” said Duncan.
“It allowed, it could take a decade to unravel some of it, fan the flames of all these conspiracy theories and it was painful to watch and listen to.”
He added that all media must find a better balance in running a for-profit business operation with its mission to share news.
Karen Finney, spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, also weighed in on the panel and criticized Fox News for promoting “lies that led to violence” like the one seen in the attack on the 6 January.
“We are still in a country that is largely divided on whether or not you think the 2020 election was legitimate,” Finney said.
“Fox News – ‘news’ – was part of creating this divisive part of America and it’s frankly shameful.”
