Matt Schlapp: CPAC Will “Go Hungarian” On The Press

February 2, 2023 Extremists, Republicans

“CPAC is going to get more and more activists engaged in the fight on these things. And it’s not just what happens on the mainstage, it’s every news outlet is there, although Steve, I do want to break some news.

“We’ve decided to go a little bit Hungarian on the left-wing, I don’t want to call it press or media because they’re not, the left-wing activists that like to think they’re media.

“I don’t know why we’re letting them come into our house every year so they can beat the hell out of us and lie to us. So I’m not so sure we’re going to do so much of that anymore.

“If you’re a real journalist, OK, fine. But if you’re a faux journalist who’s just trying to go after and attack people, I don’t think you’re constructive to the conversation.” – Accused groper Matt Schlapp, speaking to Steve Bannon.

Murdoch’s Tucker Carlson now endorses the far-right, anti-democratic leadership of Hungary. Reporters Without Borders brands PM Viktor Orbán a “press freedom predator” for “ruthless suppression” of critical media. How can any self-respecting Murdoch journalist stand for this? https://t.co/EcSa0jJXD3 pic.twitter.com/qa2xOW8yti
