Photo: Jason Koerner\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The White House criticized Fox News&#x27; Tucker Carlson Wednesday for his misleading portrayal of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot that&#x27;s drawn widespread criticism \u2014 including from senior Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving the news: <\/strong>White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a briefing Wednesday that she agreed with the Capitol Police chief and a &quot;wide range of bipartisan lawmakers&quot; who have &quot;condemned this false depiction of the unprecedented violent attack&quot; on the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&quot;We agree with Fox Nation&#x27;s own attorneys and executives who have repeatedly stressed in multiple courts of law that &#8230; Tucker Carlson is not credible when it comes to this issue in particular,&quot; Jean-Pierre said.<\/li>\n<li>Jean-Pierre cited testimony given by a Fox News executive in Dominion Voting Systems&#x27; defamation lawsuit against the network.<\/li>\n<li>And she noted an NPR report of a 2020 case in which a judge said she was &quot;leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox\u2019s lawyers&quot; that the &quot;&#x27;general tenor&#x27; of the show&quot; should inform a viewer that Carlson isn&#x27;t &quot;stating actual facts&#x27; about the topics he discusses.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>Jean-Pierre&#x27;s comments that build on earlier remarks by White House spokesperson Andrew Bates &quot;that Tucker Carlson is not credible&quot; mark a rare public criticism of Carlson and suggest tensions have escalated between the Biden administration and Fox News, per Politico, which first reported Bates&#x27; statement Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The big picture: <\/strong>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) gave Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of Capitol footage from the attack, which he began airing this week.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was among the Republicans to criticize Carlson&#x27;s coverage, which he said &quot;conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments&quot; of the insurrection.<\/li>\n<li>Representatives for Fox News did not immediately respond to Axios&#x27; request for comment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/03\/09\/white-house-tucker-carlson-not-credible-jan-6-footage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucker Carlson during a November event in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":172130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23055],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>White House calls Fox News&#x27;
