Biden: ‘Free Press Is A Pillar Of Free Society,’ Unless Your Name Is Tucker Carlson
Biden Takes a Swipe at Tucker Carlson’s Ousting
Less than one week after Fox News abruptly ousted its most popular host, Tucker Carlson, President Joe Biden joined in the chorus of corporate media, Democrats, and celebrities praising the exit as a victory for the left.
Biden began his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night with a tribute to the press and the First Amendment that keeps them in business.
- “The free press is a pillar — maybe the pillar — of a free society, not the enemy.”
- “Well, the truth is we really have a record to be proud of. Vaccinated the nation. Transformed the economy. Earned historic legislative victories and midterm results. But the job isn’t finished. I mean — it is finished for Tucker Carlson.”
Biden’s Words on the Free Press
Minutes later, after he quoted Thomas Jefferson’s letter about preferring “newspapers without government” over a “government without newspapers,” the Democrat took a moment to toot his own horn and relish in Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure from Fox News at the same time.
Biden’s jab was met with an “oooh” and laughter from the crowd.
President Biden’s Remarks at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner
President Joe Biden recently took a swipe at Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure from Fox News, during his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He began his speech with a tribute to the press and the First Amendment, calling the free press a pillar of a free society. However, he couldn’t resist taking a moment to relish in Carlson’s ousting, saying “it is finished for Tucker Carlson.”
Biden’s jab was met with an “oooh” and laughter from the crowd. It seems that even the President can’t resist taking a shot at the controversial host.
Biden Laughs at Dismissal of Tucker Carlson
“What are you wooing about like that?” Biden said between laughs. “Like you think that’s not reasonable? Give me a break. Just give me a break.”
It’s hauntingly ironic that the president and his allies in the corporate media spent their weekend laughing at the dismissal of one of their top political enemies while regular Americans mourn the loss of the nation’s most influential critic of the corrupt ruling class.
Ever since the Murdochs decided to yank “Tucker Carlson Tonight” from the air, disenfranchised viewers committed to divorcing the network in droves.
I Taped A Show With Tucker On Censorship Right Before He Was Fired
- Consistently ranked as the highest-rated cable news programming
- Including among young Democrat viewers
- No longer on screens all over the nation
It’s been clear for years now that the same First Amendment rights the media’s preferred candidates like Biden pretend to affirm are not afforded to commentators like Carlson or anyone else who questions The Narrative™.
Carlson admitted this during his last public address before news of his departure broke.
“No, we have a First Amendment. That can’t happen here, but it has,” Carlson said at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala celebration.
It is easy for Biden to sing the praises of the press when all he gets from them are fawning, optimistic attention, and cover that caters to his every request. For those like Carlson who expose the cozy relationship between Democrats and media, only condemnation awaits.
Because Carlson…
Biden’s Attack on Tucker Carlson Proves His Regime Only Recognizes Constitutional Rights of Allies
President Biden has repeatedly sought to discredit Tucker Carlson and his former employer, Fox News, for reporting on issues that the president’s allies refuse to acknowledge. Despite pretending that journalists who use cheat sheets at his press conferences are not “the enemy” of society and democracy, Americans overwhelmingly know better. Biden’s recent “joke” about Carlson further confirms that his regime only plans to recognize the constitutional rights of its allies.
If you rooted for the death of Carlson’s career for years, Biden’s “joke” about the former Fox News host may have been hilarious to you. However, it didn’t land with the American people. Instead, it proves that the Biden administration only recognizes the constitutional rights of its allies.
