OREANDA-NEWS The United States is "fabricating panic" around Russia and using it as a political tool, said Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson. The journalist recalled that in 2016, WikiLeaks published information according to which presidential candidate Hillary Clinton instructed her office to influence the election results as much as possible. "To hush up this oversight, Clinton's office said that Russia did it, that the Russians hacked the servers," Carlson added.

The presenter noted that the special services knew that this was not true, however, they "did not say a word, as it turned out that accusations against Russia are an excellent political tool.
" "Over time, this became the standard response to any incident in Washington," the journalist noted ironically.

According to him, everything that is objectionable to the US authorities began to be called "Russian disinformation" and used for censorship. For example, the White House blocked thousands of Twitter accounts that, according to intelligence agencies, were controlled by Russia, but it turned out that the information published from these accounts simply did not comply with state policy.
