Are Geraldo Rivera<\/strong> and Tucker Carlson<\/strong> staring each other down from opposite sides of Fox News? One tabloid claims the popular pundits are \u201cat war\u201d with each other. Here\u2019s the latest Fox News gossip.<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson Fighting With Geraldo Rivera?<\/h2>\n

This week, the National Enquirer <\/em>reports Geraldo Rivera can\u2019t help but take swipes at Fox News\u2019 golden boy, Tucker Carlson. Last year, Rivera memorably deemed Carlson\u2019s documentary about the January 6 riots a \u201cinflammatory and outrageous\u201d project. And now Rivera has taken to Twitter once again to call out his colleague. Carlson recently referred to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a \u201crich, entitled white lady.\u201d But Rivera corrected him, explaining that Cortez is actually a \u201cproud woman of color.\u201d And since Rivera and Carlson sit on opposite sides of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, things could get ugly between the pundits.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Going On At Fox News?<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: It\u2019s no secret that Geraldo Rivera and Tucker Carlson often disagree. Rivera has been vocal about his distaste for many of Carlson\u2019s takes; that\u2019s out there for the whole world to see. But has it turned into a full-blown feud? Well, that\u2019s not for us to say. Given their public disagreements, it\u2019s entirely reasonable. But since their \u201cwar\u201d hasn\u2019t gone beyond a few targeted tweets and Rivera has frequently pushed back against the idea of Carlson being punished, this whole story seems a bit inflammatory. <\/p>\n

The Tabloid Has Tried This Story Before<\/h2>\n

But the National Enquirer <\/em>has a history of blowing Fox News drama way out of proportion. Back in November, the outlet reported Carlson\u2019s documentary was \u201ctearing Fox News apart.\u201d Of course, it was true that Carlson caught a bit of flack from his colleagues. But beyond the Twitter discussions, it\u2019s clear that Carlson was never in hot water. So, again, this story was a bit of an exaggeration.<\/p>\n

Then, not even a month later, the magazine claimed Rivera planned to leave Fox News because of Carlson. \u201cGeraldo is more right-wing than left, but he doesn\u2019t want to toe a radical line if he isn\u2019t buying into it,\u201d a source attested. But beyond some serious speculation, the tabloid didn\u2019t provide any insights about the pundit\u2019s plans. Since Rivera is still kicking at the network, it looks like the publication was full of it.<\/p>\n

And earlier this year, the outlet went as far as to say Tucker Carlson was Carlson was purposefully forcing his colleagues off of the network. Sources said Carlson was weeding through the network\u2019s senior anchors, but his main fight was with Sean Hannity. \u201cThe real competition at Fox is between Hannity and Carlson,\u201d one tipster noted. But even though Carlson was the reigning king of Fox News, the network clearly had no plans to let Hannity go. So, clearly, the Enquirer<\/em> isn\u2019t the most reliable source when it comes to Fox News drama.<\/p>\n
