The liberal watchdog group unearthed vulgar and racist comments he made on the radio.
By Paul Farhi Paul Farhi Media reporter Email Bio Follow March 13 at 5:47 PM Fox News and Tucker Carlson don’t want to talk about what Tucker Carlson said. They want to talk about his accuser, the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America.
“Media Matters is a George Soros-funded lobbying organization whose sole mission is to punish critics of the Democratic Party,” Carlson said, referring to the liberal billionaire philanthropist and political activist. He went on to accuse the Washington-based organization of violating the terms of its nonprofit status by campaigning on behalf of Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton.
Like Carlson, Fox has also gone on the counterattack against Media Matters, in effect ignoring the message and striking back at the messenger. However, Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said in an interview Wednesday that the difference is that those other TV figures apologized for their comments when called on them. Fox has not.
Media Matters was founded in 2004 by conservative writer turned liberal activist David Brock with a mission to rebut conservative media rhetoric. The nonprofit organization has publicized inflammatory comments by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Don Imus . Most of its energies over the years have been aimed at Fox News and its current and former stars, such as Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Carlson.
