About this listen

In this digital age, we are bombarded with lies every second of every day. Sadly, we may know or suspect that we are being lied to, but we don’t say anything out of fear of retaliation. What we often don't realize until it's too late, is that it is just as costly to stay quiet. That's why this podcast exists — to punch back at the lies.Rebekah Howell Political Science Politics & Government

  • Episode 13: Tucker Carlson and Fox News
    Apr 28 2023

    On Monday, April 24, Fox News released a statement letting the world know that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight and Fox Nation series Tucker Carlson Today. Fox Media's full statement can be read here. Of course, Fox gave no indication why it is parting ways with the popular host but many have speculated as to the reason. On this episode of Punching Back, I analyze some of those reasons and what could be next for Tucker.


    UPDATE: After this podcast was recorded, Tucker released a brief video. You can access that video here.
