WATCH: Tucker Carlson Whitewashes Viktor Orbn's Authoritarian Ways in Softball Interview
Mediaite
By Michael Luciano Aug 5th, 2021, 9:14 pm
Tucker Carlson sat down with authoritarian President Viktor Orbán of Hungary for a layup interview that aired Thursday night on Fox News.
Carlson noted that Hungary is a small country. “So you wouldn’t think leaders in Washington would pay a lot of attention to Hungary, but they do, obsessively. By rejecting the tenets of neoliberalism, Viktor Orbán has personally offended them and enraged them.”
The host claimed, “Just a few years ago, his views would’ve seemed moderate and conventional. He believes families are more important than banks. He believes countries need borders. For saying these things out loud, Orbán has been vilified.”
Last year, Orbán gained the power to rule by decree. These powers were officially scaled back, but Orbán maintains a firm grip on the country. Associates of his control the vast majority of media in the country, ensuring favorable press coverage for Orbán, and negative coverage of his opponents.
