CNN’s war on Fox News goes nuclear – with a twist
American Thinker ^ | 15 Mar, 2021 | Peter Barry Chowka

Unexpectedly, a CNN regular contributor from the Washington Post speaks on air of “a major black eye for CNN.”

CNN’s on again-on again war (that’s not a typo – it never ends) against Fox News is getting hotter, most likely because CNN is once again seriously trailing Fox News in the ratings. Brian Stelter, his network’s leading attack dog, was at it again yesterday on his weekly program CNN Reliable (sic) Sources.

The program led with a full-frontal attack on Fox News’s most highly rated show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and its host, veteran reporter, editor, and television talk show host Tucker Carlson. CNN’s online transcript of the program offers this headline:

Tucker Carlson Of Fox News Has Taken Trump’s Place In The Media Ecosystem.

Addressing the diminishing viewing audience live from CNN’s studios in New York, Stelter opened the show by saying (transcript via CNN):

All right. Are you ready for it?

Here is my conclusion: Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump. Tucker has taken Trump's place as a right wing leader, as an outraged generator, as a fire starter and it's all happening on Fox just like Trump's campaign did, which means Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch are ultimately responsible.

Every day, Carlson is throwing bombs, making online memes, offending millions of people, also delighting millions of other, tapping into white mail (sic) rage and resentment, stoking distrust

Isn't CNN a bomb thrower? It seems their main problems are lousy aim AND an arsenal full of duds.

FOX ratings will explode with dementia Joe providing material. Pretty easy to ramp up viewership when the borders are being over run and gas prices are skyrocketing, and that’s just the first month.

“Tucker Carlson Of Fox News Has Taken Trump’s Place In The Media Ecosystem”

CNN has to have a punching bag as bogey man or else no one will listen to them.

Always keep in mind the left always need an orange man bad figure to bombard so their handful of viewers who tune in to fill up on hate will still tune in.

The only White House reporter that ever asks Jen a real question is the Fox News reporter Peter Ducey.

During the campaign he was the one Biden called a “one trick pony”.

I never see the woman from Newsmax ever get to even ask a question.

That is because we need some of those accents to go along with the over abundance of India and China accents in the medical field and big tech industries. heh

“Right wing” leader?

More like a conservative leader.

“Right wing” is a pejorative term used by the left.

“Yes, yes, yes. God love you, man. You’re a one-horse pony,” Biden replied

Very astute. They probably have meetings and laugh about how stupid the people are. They are each other’s ‘straw man’ and absolutely essential to each other’s survival. That is why Fox torpedoed Trump - they had to. Now they will try to regain market by sliding back to him as long as it serves his purpose. Carlson is a tool just like all of the media is...Don’t trust any of them.

Yes, Fox and the Murdock sons and wives have shown what they are , but they ave lost so many viewers they are trying a smoke and mirrors act to be the “loyal opposition.” Tucker Carlson is part of that act IMO.

Limbaugh would be having a high time with Biden, no doubt.
One hugely comical part is that CNN pretended to be the opposition to Trump that Limbaugh was to both Clinton and Obama.
Limbaugh was funny as hell, and won a lot of listeners.
CNN is simply deranged and delusional, and appeals only to their deranged and ignorant base.

In all seriousness, on Youtube I’d watch Tucker and Ingraham and then watch Lemon and Stelter, and it was like watching adults and then watching middleschool kids. That is, whether you agreed or disagreed with them, the quality of the show and the information they provided was night and day. It was simply kids vs adults. I don’t know any other way to describe it.
