Fox News Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night aired part of a video that multiple social media platforms had pulled earlier in the day because it contained dangerous false claims about the coronavirus.
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube yanked the clip featuring doctors touting unproven cures and treatments for COVID-19 and dismissing face masks to curb the spread of the contagion, contrary to the advice of public health experts.
The video garnered millions of views after being promoted by President Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. Trump Jr.s Twitter profile was partially suspended as a consequence.

Big tech censored science, alleged Carlson. They pulled the video of doctors in lab coats talking about coronavirus research and they hid that video from the public. Thats exactly what the Chinese government so often does, except when Silicon Valley erases your freedoms, they lecture you as they do it. Theyve got all the ruthlessness of Chinese authoritarians but with double the self-righteousness. Its the American version.
