The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is in Hungary, and during a meeting, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban stated that Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show should be broadcast “24/7.”
CNN relayed the politician’s words, sharing his recommendation for conservatives to gain and maintain power. Orban and his supporters wield significant influence over Hungarian media outlets and add that the GOP having its media is the best way to fight the left’s agenda.
“Of course, the GOP has its associated media, but they do not compete with the dominance of the liberal press. Only friend Tucker Carlson places himself on the line without wavering,” Orban said.
“His program is the most-watched. What does it mean? It means programs like his should be broadcasted day and night. Or as you say, 24/7.”
Carlson appeared for a brief virtual appearance at the CPAC meeting in Budapest. The Fox News host complimented Hungary as “a free and decent and beautiful country that cares about its people, their families and the physical landscape.”
