A swift social media backlash

Reaction was immediate. Critics labeled O’Reilly a “hypocrite,” accused him of spreading propaganda and questioned his claim that loyalty equals journalism. Others pushed back at his dismissal of Carlson and Kelly as journalists, pointing to their public critiques of the president.

Old wounds reopened

The remarks revived past disputes: O’Reilly left Fox News in April 2017 after a New York Times investigation and advertiser fallout; Kelly had publicly said she complained about harassment at the network. Carlson has been openly critical of Trump’s Iran policy, calling it “completely inappropriate” and accusing the president of pettiness, while Trump has fired back at Kelly and Carlson, calling them “stupid” and “low IQ.”
