TAKE AWAY THE LIES AND WHAT'S LEFT?:
Jan. 6 Conspiracy Target Demands Retraction From Tucker Carlson (Justin Baragona, Mar. 23, 2023, Daily Beast)
Ray Epps, the pro-Trump man at the center of a right-wing conspiracy theory about the Jan. 6 riots, has demanded that Tucker Carlson publicly retract the "false and defamatory" claims he's pushed about Epps being a federal agent who incited the Capitol riots. Epps' lawyer Michael Teter sent a letter to Carlson on Thursday urging the host to issue a "formal apology for the lies" he and others at Fox have spread about the former Marine, according to The New York Times. "The fanciful notions that Mr. Carlson advances on his show regarding Mr. Epps's involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection are demonstrably (and already proven to be) false," Teter added. "And yet Mr. Carlson persists with his assault on the truth." In fact, Carlson took aim at Epps as recent as Wednesday night.
A direct attack on their business model.
