Chris Cuomo to Tucker Carlson: “You Were Right” — Fired News Anchors Unite in Blistering Takedown of Mainstream Media

Ex-CNN and Fox stars trade battle scars, expose media hypocrisy in explosive podcast exchange.

In a rare and revealing moment, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo admitted to Tucker Carlson — the conservative firebrand ousted from Fox News — that he had been right all along about the toxic underbelly of mainstream media.

“It gives me no particular joy to say this, but you were right about it,” Cuomo confessed during a candid conversation on Carlson’s latest podcast episode.

He quickly added with a smirk, “Don’t get used to it.

It’s the last time you’ll hear it in this conversation.”

The two ex-prime-time giants, once on opposing ends of the cable news battlefield, found unexpected common ground as they dissected what Cuomo called the “ugly business” of modern media — rife with hypocrisy, betrayal, and manufactured outrage.

Cuomo recalled Carlson’s words of encouragement after his 2021 firing from CNN:

“Give it time, embrace doing what you’re doing, and don’t look for the acceptance of where you were.” Cuomo said that advice stuck with him.

Carlson, pushed out of Fox News in 2023 under murky circumstances, didn’t hold back either:

“When you work in media your whole life, you just accept that everyone lies all the time… that people who claim to be your friends actually hate you. Every dispute is settled with a lawyer.”

The former CNN anchor, who was dismissed after revelations he helped his brother, ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo, combat s*xual harassment allegations, reflected on the double standards of media coverage:

“It’s okay for me to destroy you by a standard that I would never want imposed on me.”

In a moment that left Carlson chuckling, Cuomo joked about how the press would inevitably spin their sit-down: “Cuomo’s been red-pilled.

 He got bought up by that preppy, smiley chucklehead. ”

And if he were overly critical of Carlson?

“Ooh, that was a hard-hitting piece. He really came at him.”

Their conclusion? Negativity is the new currency in journalism.

“The commodity is negativity,” Cuomo said bluntly.

“If you want to be a hard journalist, you better say something negative about somebody. It’s a proxy for insight.”

Cuomo also praised his current employer, NewsNation, for giving him a second shot and embracing both him and his brother, now mounting a political comeback with a run for New York City mayor.

“They were like, ‘Wow, this is great for your family.

This is great for your brother.

We’re excited for you guys,’” he said, calling it “a blessing.”

The two former media titans, once framed as ideological enemies, now appear united — not by political views, but by scars earned in a media world they both agree is broken.
