Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed that a producer from his time at the network recently resigned after airing a controversial chyron that referred to President Biden as a “wannabe dictator.” The caption was displayed on a split screen featuring Biden and Donald Trump, who had just been arraigned. The chyron read, “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.” Although Carlson did not mention the producer by name, it has been reported that the former managing editor of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Alexander McCaskill, was responsible for the chyron.
According to The Daily Beast, McCaskill’s departure was confirmed through his Instagram post, where he stated that he is no longer with Fox News. Screenshots of the controversial chyron quickly went viral on social media, leading to public scrutiny. In response, Fox News addressed the incident and Carlson mentioned on his Twitter show that network heads reprimanded the producer responsible for the chyron. Ultimately, the producer resigned less than 24 hours later.
However, Fox News has not made any further public statements regarding the matter since acknowledging the chyron. Forbes points out that there were other similar chyrons on the same broadcast that did not receive the same attention, including one referring to special counsel Jack Smith as “the man who is out to get Trump.” The outlet speculates that the relationship between former President Trump and Fox News has become strained in recent years, particularly due to the network’s election-night calls in 2020. Nevertheless, Trump recently appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox show, indicating a potential reconciliation between the two parties.
