Tucker Carlson attacks press as 'state media' after Trump strips ex-CIA chief's clearance

Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused media "on every other channel" of acting like "state media" in coverage of President Trump's decision to revoke former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance on Wednesday.

“Journalists ought to be skeptical of the powerful,” Carlson said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," referring to Brennan. "But they're not. Instead, they have become Brennan’s faithful hand-maidens."

"What they're telling us on the other channels all day long is that it's somehow immoral for us to ask obvious questions, like why would John Brennan have security clearance as an NBC employee?" he said. Brennan is an NBC News contributor.

"[They argue] that he and his colleagues in the intelligence world are not bound by the same rules that you and I are," Carlson continued. "The intelligence establishment does what it wants, they tell us. Your job is to obey. They are in charge; you are a serf. They spy on you without limit. You accept a life with no privacy."

Obama made sure cyberattacks by our government went through a vetting process before approved. Trump has wiped that out.

No rules now. How might this action benefit a dictator?
