During the CPAC conference, keynote speaker, Viktor Orbán, told the crowd of deplorables that the path to power required having their own media outlets and saying that shows like Tucker Carlson’s should be broadcast “24/7”. He laid out a twelve point blueprint to achieve and consolidate power titled, “God, Homeland, Family.”
“We have to take back the institutions in Washington and Brussels. We must find allies in one another and coordinate the movements of our troops,” Orbán said.
“Have your own media. It’s the only way to point out the insanity of the progressive left,” he said. “The problem is that the western media is adjusted to the leftist viewpoint. Those who taught reporters in universities already had progressive leftist principles.”
Orbán portrayed the US media as dominated by Democrats, {sic} who he claimed were being “served” by CNN, the New York Times and others.
“Of course, the GOP has its media allies but they can’t compete with the mainstream liberal media. My friend, Tucker Carlson is the only one who puts himself out there,” he said. “His show is the most popular. What does it mean? It means programs like his should be broadcasted day and night. Or as you say 24/7.”
After months of submitting requests to attend the Fascist Fest, CPAC denied or ignored various media outlets, such as New Yorker, Vox Media, Vice News, Rolling Stone, and the Associated Press and told them to “watch the event online”.
