Tucker Carlson isn’t blind to Viktor Orbán’s repressive methods. He favors them. jonathanchait writes on Carlson’s week in Hungary
When Tucker Carlson embarked on a weeklong publicity tour of Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, Fox News personality Glenn Greenwald cast the decision as the kind of intrepid reporting we should all admire. “Is it now considered immoral or something for journalists to visit other countries to report on what they see and hear there?” he asked. No doubt Carlson’s trip to Budapest would allow him to work his sources, hold the powerful accountable, and uncover corruption.
Of course, Carlson himself has a job in the United States criticizing what he describes as “the ruling class’s orthodoxy.” The notion that a left-wing equivalent of Fox News could exist in Hungary is a sad joke after Orbán consolidated control of the media, handing ownership over most of the largest newspapers and television channels to a board filled with his allies.
Carlson dismissed the conclusion by Freedom House that Orbán’s Hungary no longer qualifies as a democracy, on the grounds that the organization receives U.S. government funding. If he wanted more evidence, he could listen to the European Parliament, which declared Orbán’s regime a “systemic threat to the rule of law.”
