But \u2063then,\u2062 his expression turned serious. &#8220;No, I\u2019m\u2064 not mad at Fox. I\u2019m really not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Portnoy pressed further, questioning the timing \u2062of the interview.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it was the night of the debate, but\u2062 the reason that it was, is because he didn\u2019t want to\u200c do the debate. I didn\u2019t make that \u2063decision for him,&#8221; Carlson clarified. &#8220;He approached \u200cus and said, &#8216;You know, I\u2019m not gonna\u2062 do the debate,&#8217; but if I&#8217;m being totally honest, I didn\u2019t really \u2063believe him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Carlson acknowledged that it was likely intentional on Trump&#8217;s part\u200b to have the interview\u200d air at the same \u2063time, as he admitted that the former\u2063 president \u2064&#8221;doesn&#8217;t like Fox.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But they\u2063 don&#8217;t\u2063 like him. You know, they never \u2064did, and they always had rules about not allowing him on,&#8221; Carlson\u2062 explained. &#8220;My view was, I think it\u2019s totally legitimate you just don&#8217;t like Donald Trump. I don\u2019t hold that against anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite his stance, Carlson\u200b didn&#8217;t shy away from criticizing his\u200b former network for seemingly implementing \u2062a rule against Trump&#8217;s appearances due\u200c to owner Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s\u2064 personal dislike for him.\u200b Carlson \u200dargued that by excluding Trump, Fox was failing to truly cover the news.\u200d Portnoy \u2064agreed,\u2063 stating that Fox was &#8220;no different\u200b than any of \u200dthe other networks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Click <a href=\"link\">here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson addressed speculation about his feelings towards his former employer.
