Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg revealed all in a conversation to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday.

She began by saying that she assumed that Tucker Carlson's persona on his nightly show was nothing more than an act. Carlson had worked for years at CNN and MSNBC and had remained largely moderate throughout his history. What Grossberg said, however, was that he was exactly like his persona on the show, she said.

The Washington Post submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and subsequent lawsuit regarding hefty contracts disclosed to the Pentagon from retired generals and admirals who have left government service.

According to the report, the details expose those who use their military service over the decades to score lucrative contracts from foreign countries.

According to The Detroit News, a special prosecutor was appointed and a grand jury was already impaneled to probe the attempt to snag voting machines and software in the 2020 election. While special counsel Jack Smith at the Justice Department is exploring a number of issues related to the plot to overturn the election, it's not clear whether the multi-state effort to get the voting machines is one of them.

"The View" co-hosts did their own version of trashing former Fox host Tucker Carlson. They brought up the greatest hits of the far-right personality who promoted white supremacist ideology. But Joy Behar thinks that the firing had more to do with the children of News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch.

Behar began by saying Tuesday that the one thing that Fox has been consistent on is firing people regardless of their status if there are accusations of sexual harassment or impropriety.

The comedy shows lined up Monday night to dance on the grave of Tucker Carlson, who has now been ousted from three cable news networks.

The Daily Show's treatment of Carlson, featuring guest host Desi Lydic, was in the same vein as the Lincoln Project's "In Memorium" video.

One of Fox's former hosts who fell from grace, Bill O'Reilly, said that he knows the truth about what happened at the network, despite no longer working there or being on the inside with the network.

On Monday night, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow looked at a series of right-wing radio and television personalities — from Father Charles Coughlin all the way to Tucker Carlson. She urged viewers to look at the group as a whole and their impact on history.

"What you see over, and over, and over again, and I don't know why this hasn't sunk in and become a thing we make fun of these guys for — it becomes quite clear dominance inside far-right media doesn't turn into dominance anywhere else," said Maddow.

Politics being a "blood sport" has always been a bit of a joke, but two Louisiana state Senators took the adage literally, The Daily Advertiser reported Monday.

Republican Sen. Stewart Cathey of West Monroe and Democrat Sen. Regina Barrow of Baton Rouge nearly broke into a fistfight on Monday after they debated a bill. At issue is the fight between the north and south of the state. Cathey's bill would "redistribute" $7.5 million across the state instead of sending the lump sum to East Baton Rouge Parish.

Unruly passengers on airlines have continued beyond complaining about wearing masks. Now they're starting fights, going off on racist rants and in one case Sunday, a man urinated on another.

A new documentary from ABC News Studios in conjunction with the Associated Press will air on Hulu, revealing a murder scheme discovered by a former soldier that infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan.

For a man who went by the name Grand Knighthawk, the workings of the KKK go beyond the cross-burnings in sanitized tales and instead honed in on the deadly operations group plot.

MSNBC Nicolle Wallace began her second hour on the recent reports that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be announcing potential indictments between July and September and is urging officers to be prepared for attacks at the county courthouse.

House Select Committee investigator Marc Harris was behind the electronic voting machines piece of the probe and he thinks that the Fulton County case "draws heavily on some of the material that's come out in the litigation in Georgia and the Curling vs. Raffensperger case that's referenced in the letter."
