In a searing monologue on Wednesday’s show, Tucker Carlson presented his case for the mainstream media’s alleged collusion with China’s state-run media.
This time, the pugnacious Fox News host focused on Politico’s association with an outlet he described as a “Communist China mouthpiece.”
The evidence was compelling.
Per Fox News:
“China is surpassing the United States in economic power and in global influence. And that didn’t happen by accident. Our leadership class actively helped them do it and they got rich in return,” Carlson said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “Politico is a blog based inside Washington, D.C. Conventional people read it for a conventional view on politics. Politico is one of the reasons everyone on television sounds the same and is usually wrong. It’s also one of the reasons sucking up to China seems normal in Washington.”
Carlson then described the news outlet’s connection to the South China Morning Post.
“A few years ago, Politico entered into a so-called content partnership with the South China Morning Post — that’s an English language newspaper based in Hong Kong that is widely understood to be a mouthpiece for the communist Chinese government,” Carlson said. “The South China Morning Post is owned by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. That’s a company run by a Communist Party member. Like all Chinese companies, Ali Baba is required by the country’s 2017 national intelligence law to, quote, support and assist and cooperate with China’s government, spy agencies. Yes, spy agencies. That’s Politico’s partner.”
The host then described a story in the Morning Post and compared it to the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post whose headlines fairly described it as part of the Hong Kong protests.
