Tucker Carlson Accuses Fox News of Perpetrating a ‘Dictatorship’ for Censoring White House Press Secretary


Reported by  

After Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut off White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany during an election-related press conference on Monday, ratings giant Tucker Carlson lambasted Cavuto and the network on his titular primetime program.

“In a democracy, you cannot ignore honest questions from citizens. You’re not allowed. You can’t dismiss them out of hand as crazy and immoral for asking. You can’t just cut away from coverage you don’t like. You can’t simply tell people to accept an outcome because force doesn’t work in a democracy. That’s dictatorship,” Carlson said.

“In a free society, you have to convince the public of your legitimacy. You have to win them over with reason. Democracy is always a voluntary arrangement. Telling voters to shut up is never enough,” he concluded.

The entire rant can be seen here:

 

He is responding to the shameful editorial decision by Cavuto and Fox News earlier in the day to censor McEnany in order to keep up the ruse that Joe Biden is the president-elect:

It is being speculated that Carlson may not be long for Fox News. However, he is a ratings giant who brings in the bacon to a network that is quickly growing reviled to its own core base.

Big League Politics has reported on how consumer boycotts from angry, triggered liberals have been ineffective at stopping the juggernaut freight train that is Carlson:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been dogged by ad boycotts from commercial terrorism entities like Sleeping Giants for telling the truth about the marxist Black Lives Matter revolution, but the whining of the snowflakes has not had much of an effect, as Carlson brings in tens of millions to Fox News.

According to MediaPost, ad revenues for prime time cable TV news shows have risen by 31.5 percent over the prior three-month period. Fox News did particularly well during this time period, rising 44.3 percent to $79.7 million, due to Carlson’s dominance as well as the success of Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

Standard Media Index’s Accu-TV says that “Tucker Carlson Tonight” raked in $37.2 million, ahead of “The Ingraham Angle” and “Hannity” by a small margin. Other more left-leaning news networks also rose during the period, as the public becomes more tuned into the news with a presidential election coming into focus. CNN rose 28.4 percent to $45.7 million and MSNBC gained 11.8 percent up to $33.3 million.

Big League Politics has reported about Carlson’s ratings dominance amidst his emergence as a lone voice of compassion and sanity for the forgotten man in America…

Carlson is cultivating America’s patriot awakening during a time in which it is being besieged by the enemies of civilization.

If Fox News dumps Carlson, it will probably be the death blow to the beleaguered network that has fallen far since founder Rupert Murdoch’s retirement.

Fox News Cuts Off White House Press Secretary’s Election Briefing


Reported By Paul Duke | November 9, 2020

Things are changing drastically in the media landscape these days, especially as the nation itself continues to radicalize and rage. The 2020 election proved to be a focal point of this angst and energy, and as President Trump continues to push for legal fights and recounts, there is a very real chance that this brouhaha isn’t over.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a press conference to discuss the President’s ongoing ballot battle, but her framing of the situation caused Fox News to cut away.

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto abruptly cut away from a Trump campaign press conference led by Kayleigh McEnany Monday afternoon.

The White House Press Secretary was speaking in her dual role as campaign spokesperson and was addressing President Donald Trump’s continued efforts to refuse conceding the election, after news outlets projected he has lost.

“There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room, that party my friends is the Democrat party,” McEnany proclaimed. “You don’t take these positions because you want an honest election. You don’t oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You don’t oppose our effort at sunlight at transparency because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are a welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting.”

That was too much for the longtime Fox host.

Shortly after her baseless allegation that the Democratic party was “welcoming fraud” and “welcoming illegal voting,” Cavuto cut in abruptly by saying “whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear.”

“She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing this,” he continued.

President Trump has repeatedly insisted on Twitter that he actually won the election, and that his legal efforts could see the results of the contest reversed.

TWITTER CENSORSHIP


Twitter locks account of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she purportedly shares Hunter Biden story

Reported by BRECK DUMAS | October 15, 2020

The New York Post published an exclusive story titled “Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian business to VP dad,” reporting that “Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.”

Within hours, Facebook suppressed the story on its platform, and Twitter completely locked the accounts of users who attempted to share the piece — including the New York Post’s primary Twitter account.

The Post reported on all of the censorship following its story, too, including the notification to McEnany’s account, which let her know her that she “violated our rules against distribution of hacked material.”

Twitter explained, “We don’t permit the use of our services to directly distribute content obtained through hacking that contains private information, may put people in physical harm or danger, or contains trade secrets.”

The tweet for which McEnany was purportedly locked out read, “**NEW** Email from Ukrainian executive to Hunter Biden asks Hunter to ‘use his influence’ on behalf of the firm paying him $50k/mo in email with subject ‘urgent issue’ obtained by @nypost Father @JoeBiden was in charge of Ukraine relations at time!!”

She allegedly included a link to the Post’s story.

Politico reported:

The Post story included a screenshot of what the paper said was a 2015 email from Burisma adviser Vadym Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden, thanking him for “the opportunity to meet your father.” But the email doesn’t indicate whether Pozharskyi was describing a meeting that had already occurred or one intended to occur in the future. Nevertheless, the Post reported that the existence of such a meeting undercut Biden’s long-held assertions that he had no involvement with his son’s business dealings.

Biden’s campaign said in a statement, “We have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.”

However, Politico added that “Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment.”

‘Election Interference’: Twitter Locks Trump’s Campaign Account, Adds Warning Label To House GOP Government Link

Twitter continued its crackdown on information damaging to Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday, locking the campaign account of President Donald Trump over a video that it posted and adding a warning label to an article posted by House Republicans on a .gov domain.

The censorship comes after The New York Post published explosive reports yesterday and today outlining new allegations about the business dealings of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

Tim Murtaugh, Director of Communications for the Trump campaign, tweeted out a screenshot of the email that the campaign received from Twitter, writing: “Twitter has locked out @TeamTrump for posting video of clips of Joe Biden lying about never speaking to Hunter about foreign business deals. Includes snips of @nypost exposing the lies. Biden doesn’t dispute the authenticity of the docs. STILL protecting Biden from bad story.”

 

The video that Team Trump posted spliced together quotes from Joe Biden denying that he knew anything about his son’s overseas business dealings along side snippets from The New York Post’s report in the following order:

NEW YORK POST: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad.

JOE BIDEN: “I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything thing happening to do with their businesses. Period.”

NEW YORK POST: Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm. [Shows photo of a Burisma executive playing golf with Joe and Hunter Biden.]

BIDEN: “I did [sic] anything wrong and, uh, I didn’t realize he was on the board till after was, after he had been on the board and, at the same time, he has come forward and said it was a mistake on his part to be on the board.”

EMAIL FROM UKRAINE GAS EXECUTIVE TO HUNTER BIDEN: Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent some time together. It’s really an honor and pleasure.

“I don’t know what he was doing. I know he was on the board. I found out he was on the board after he was on the board and that was it.”

NEW YORK POST: An email dated May 12, 2014—shortly after Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board—shows Pozharskyi attempting to get him to use his political leverage to help the company.

“The fact is I was unaware of his investments until those occurred and I’ve never discussed what my son’s business with him because I didn’t want any conflict.”

EMAIL: Dear Hunter and Devon, Following our talks during the visit to the Como Lake and our further discussions, I would like to bring the following situation to your attention.

“I don’t discuss business with my son. I didn’t know that was the case.”

NEW YORK POST: The exchange came the same day that Burisma announced it had expanded its board of directors by adding Hunter Biden.

“I have never spoke to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

“I have never discussed my business or their business, my son’s or daughter’s, and I’ve never discussed them.”

CHYRON: Joe Biden is a liar Who Has Been Ripping Off Our Country for Years.

The claims in the New York Post’s report have sparked controversy and pushback, including accusations of significant “holes and red flags,” among them questions about the veracity of the emails, how the information was obtained, and the involvement of Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) tweeted out a link to a news story from Fox Business that highlighted Twitter’s other actions in clamping down on the House Judiciary Committee Republicans website for posting The New York Post’s article to their website.

“Big Tech is censoring @JudiciaryGOP all because their government link contains information about a Democratic presidential candidate,” Walker wrote. “This is election interference.”

 

Others, including Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also called the censorship by Twitter “election interference.”
