Carlson: Dem-Controlled Media Cost Us The Red Wave

“In some cases, candidate quality is not actually the most important thing. What is? Well, the mechanics of an election. They matter. In fact, they matter sometimes more than any individual running in the election.

“The way people vote makes a big difference to the outcome and so, by the way, does access to channels of communication. Why does that matter? Well, because you can say whatever you want, but if no one hears you, you’re not really speaking.

“And that’s the case for Republicans so often, as if Republicans can communicate their message unencumbered on a single cable television channel and a handful of relatively low-traffic websites. That’s it.

“The rest of the American media amounts to a gigantic filter designed to distort what Republicans are saying.

“It’s a campaign apparatus and only the Democrats have it. Now you can whine about that – ‘the media are liberal!’ – but it’s not about liberal or conservative.

“It’s about winning elections and Democrats can win because they have that. If Republicans want to win elections, too, they might spend some money to fix that, to achieve parity.” – Tucker Carlson, host for the network that drew a larger audience for election coverage than CNN and MSNBC combined.

As for those “low trafficked websites,” Carlson must be referring to sites like Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and Gateway Pundit, which draw tens of millions of readers.
