A former correspondent with Fox News suggested on Saturday that law enforcement agencies will have to take action against Fox News and Tucker Carlson to "stop the lying."
Carl Cameron, Fox's former chief political correspondent, told CNN's Jim Acosta that Carlson in particular has been "screaming fire in a crowded movie house for years."
"The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theater, cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse," Cameron said.
"And that kind of stuff absolutely has to stop, whether it's the antitrust bill to take down and deplatform people who lie and put out falsehoods that cause damage and violent, violent hate — there ought to be something done about it," he continued.
Cameron was referencing Carlson's remarks on the Buffalo shooting suspect from earlier this week.
As Insider's Connor Perrett and Kieran Press-Reynolds reported, police say they found a document belonging to the Buffalo shooting suspect that was rife with conspiracy theories such as the white nationalist "replacement theory," which claims immigration by non-white people is an attempt to replace the white population in the US.
Carlson latched onto that theory in his coverage of the Buffalo shooting, said Cameron, adding that the US government has to take action against people who spread and amplify misinformation.
"Democrats have to kick it in," he said. "The president has to be more forceful and sooner or later the law enforcement and the US government is going to have to stop the lying because it's causing people's deaths."
"It's not just Fox, it's social media in general," he added. "It's on the internet.”

The dark side is strong with this one.
while CNN is ALL LIES
What I remember about Cameron is that he always looked either stoned or half in the bag every time he was on the air.
Wow… talk about an EMBITTERED, DISGRUNTLED EX-EMPLOYEE. He wins the prize.
So when did Cameron get his 30 pieces of silver wired to him?
All these duplicitous weasels keep outing themselves. That’s progress.
Not to mention the famous “yelling fire in a crowded theatre” was later ruled constitutional by the USSC. Only immediate calls for unlawful actions can be held as a crime.
We always knew the left wants to use the police to monitor thoughts and words, and to throw dissenters in jail for life, after taking all their money.
Someone should be monitoring Carl Cameron for HIS lies. ( Not that lying is a police matter.)
Cameron is an idiot.
Mr.Cameron certainly hasn’t consumed much of his own product lately has he? If police were to enforce truth standards in the media, I think we would have to rewrite that constitution thingy. You know, the thing.
I wonder what his escape plane is.
Do these people actually believe what they say? Is he that much of a political hack or is he just an idiot? Or both?
The police shouldn’t even allow Cameron on the air. lol
immigration by non-white people is an attempt to replace the white population in the US.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s been US government policy since GHW Bush.
Good grief!
This communist-sympathizing weasel is still above ground?
He was the #2 scumbag commie-loving weasel of Fox news...
IAC, based on his pathetic career, this kind of thinking is no surprise...
Carl is a fruitcake.…
Give an example of a single lie Tucker has told Cameron. Anything on the scale of the Russia attempted coup Hillary committed?
Lawsuit?
Goes to show you most of the media people are absolutely soulless.
