Why the media now loves Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly — anti-MAGA! By Scott Pinsker at PJ Media.
The most overrepresented, overhyped, and overexposed political bloc in today’s mainstream media is… any guesses?
I’ll give you a hint: They’re in the Republican Party (more or less). And the amount of media attention they’re receiving is nothing short of extraordinary. In all their years, they’ve never received better press!
And in a weird, inexplicable coincidence, their business model directly depends on being noticed.
Not liked or loved. Not supported, trusted, or believed. And certainly not “winning hearts and minds” — because so far, they’ve failed to influence almost anyone. …
But it’s a simple financial formula:
- Notice them.
- Click on them.
- Ca-ching!
I’m speaking of those MAGA-adjacent podcasters, “influencers,” and politicos — Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, and Thomas Massie — who’ve sided with the Democrats to oppose the Iran War, along with the MAGA members they represent. …
Would the media lie?
And in another weird, inexplicable coincidence, the mainstream media is trumpeting their Iran objections with gusto …
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Given this vast degree of media attention, you’d get the impression that the Republican Party has fractured — and the MAGA movement was embroiled in a bitter civil war. After all, virtually every major media outlet in our country has aired the grievances of Carlson, Fuentes, Owens, and Kelly — many more than once. Why, anti-war sentiment must be rising!
But the trouble is, it’s just not true.
Only 11% of Republicans oppose the Iran War. An overwhelming majority — 85% — support President Trump.
And Republicans who self-identify as MAGA support the Iran War by an even WIDER margin: 90% support it; just 5% oppose.
Which means, most of the Republicans who oppose the Iran War were “Never Trumpers” in the first place — and NOT part of the Make America Great Again movement.
Self-appointed grifters:
So how the heck did self-appointed MAGA spokesmen like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Marjorie Taylor Greene get this much media attention when they only represent 5% of the MAGA movement? (Not 5% of the American people or 5% of the Republican Party, mind you — just 5% of the MAGA movement!)
How does that make any sense?
It’s because they’re telling you a story that the media wants you to believe.
The mainstream media hates Donald Trump with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. …
Carlson and Company are simply a means to an end; a blunt weapon to hurt the president and shatter our movement. It’s why they’re receiving press so ridiculously disproportionate to the small size of their bloc. …
Anti-war “influencers” (and their 5% of MAGA) are the most overhyped, overrepresented, and overexposed bloc in America today. They’re everywhere. Which makes them seem far bigger and more influential than they actually are.
And that was the media’s goal all along.
