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.”

Imagine two possible futures for America. In one, the founding principles of the republic are preserved, but the ethnicity of the majority is different than your own. In the other, your favorite ethnicities dominate, but those principles are abandoned. Which of these futures is the vision of the Democrat Party? Which of them is “racist”? In which would you rather live?
What nonsense. What about all the lies on CNN?
What nonsense. What about all the lies on CNN?
Trump exposed every last one of them. Without Trump, we would still think Fox and people like Cameron are conservative.
If the Second Amendment goes, the First will follow, and quickly.
Those were Fake But Accurate®
I’m sure he is on board with Biteme’s Ministry of Truth, known as the Disinformation Governance Board.

The POS needs to find a deep bunker with the rest of them.
It’s been US government policy since GHW Bush.
Funny he mentions fire in a crowded theater. There was no such case. That came from the Schenck v. United States case. Schenck was arrested for handing out handbills opposing WWI and the draft.
The progressive court said his action was akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater. So it is similar in that respect. The government hates and despises anyone who dares to discuss their trumped up wars.
Cameron is a wimp and needs to hand over his lunch money.
That increased legal immigration.
And they lied about it at the time.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico has resulted in the sieve we call a southern border that has been kept open and the laws unenforced since he was in office that has gotten us 30 million illegal aliens who should not even be here.
My question is why would they need to monitor Tucker Carlson to prevent him from doing something all so called news reporters do every day?
it shifted legal immigration from europe to 3rd world ...
Long enough ago that opposition to it was shouted down as racism. A charged shouted loudly, repeatedly, picked up by the ‘media (and other ‘beautiful people!)’, repeated in academia, churches, etc. Eventually it became enshrined in the social\political culture as a “factoid”.
Cameron was let go by Fox News for failing to show up to work. He’s in love with Shepherd Smith and Chris Wallace. That should tell anyone all they need to know about that Yellow Journalist.
This idiot is complaining to Jim Acosta about someone lying?!?
He was always the go-to guy for Shep Smith. Another player on the pink team.
Cameron was always Brit Hume’s piss boy.
