Whoopi Goldberg calls on Fox News to apologize for the "nasty way" it treated Kristen Welker

Mediaite

Goldberg said on The View that Tucker Carlson -- who never actually criticized Welker on air -- and other Fox News personalities should apologize for demeaning her before the third presidential debate. As Mediaite's Colby Hall points out, "the conservative media smear appeared to start with a New York Post story about Welker’s parents, which was parroted numerous other (Fox News) opinion shows, though notably, NOT Tucker Carlson. All of which seemed to be a preemptive attempt to undermine her authority and allege bias." “I want Fox News to apologize to Kristen for the nasty way they have been treating her before this debate,” Goldberg said. “I want them to apologize. I want Tucker Carlson to apologize to her. I want those people that sit in that four-people show to apologize to her for how they tried to really muss up the waters and talk about her like she didn’t know what she was doing.”
