Fox News and Tucker Carlson dont want to talk about what Tucker Carlson said. They want to talk about his accuser, the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America.
On the air and off, Carlson and Fox News have defended Carlsons ugly comments on a syndicated radio program a decade or so ago by turning the spotlight back on Media Matters, which released transcripts and audio recordings of Carlson earlier this week.
On his prime-time program on Tuesday, for example, Carlson continued to portray himself and Fox News as the targets of a liberal outrage machine whose goal is to shut down the cable network and dissenting opinions. He offered no apologies or explanations, nor did he bother to mention why Media Matters had called him out in the first place.
Media Matters is a George Soros-funded lobbying organization whose sole mission is to punish critics of the Democratic Party, Carlson said, referring to the liberal billionaire philanthropist and political activist. He went on to accuse the Washington-based organization of violating the terms of its nonprofit status by campaigning on behalf of Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton.
