As Twitchy has reported, CNN’s prime-time ratings really are in the toilet, coming in below TLC and shows like “Dr. Pimple Popper,” while Fox News remains at No. 1. And CNN’s media guy Brian Stelter isn’t helping matters by watching Fox News instead of his own network like most cable viewers in America.
We’ll leave it up to our readers to decide if Tucker Carlson engages in “extreme rhetoric,” but you’ve got to admit Stelter chose a bad night to accuse him of it.
Can you imagine talking this way? Such extreme rhetoric all the time? Tucker Carlson just now: "To the modern Democratic Party, Americans are an afterthought." pic.twitter.com/xUiKYby2SO

Look, CNBC’s totally unbiased John Harwood is appalled.

Yeah, you never hear extreme rhetoric from the guests and panelists on CNN. And what a thing to say about the Democrats. Shameful. Right, guys?
yeah some people spew such BS on the reg on cable TV they have no idea how they come off https://t.co/GMdb73Hpd3

Extreme rhetoric all the time? Have you not been listening to your side? By that I mean the anti-Trump resistance, implicitly endorsed by you and your fellow travelers

We can’t hear you because we’re dead because of net neutrality and the GOP tax cuts. It was Armageddon.
Bahahaha what? kettle, glass houses…blah blah blah. Now you my dear should take over for @jimmyfallon at night because that joke made me laugh!! Who says comedy is dead… you give us Patriots hope…??????

??? Are you joking? Thats literally all CNN does is talk in hyperbolic extreme language.

From the man who has suggested Trump is an authoritarian, so mentally unhinged he should be removed from office. https://t.co/FXDdWCHjOe

@TuckerCarlson you mean the #1 rated show in all of cable baby Brian!? Yes, I can imagine…that’s why people watch and love his show! By the way, more people watch cartoons vs your show! #cnnsucks

Watching Fox are you? A confident runner never looks at the other runners unless they’re in the back of the pack.

I can't imagine being a guy people feel compelled to call "Tater." https://t.co/R1vFbmKGS1

The truth hurts Brian. He’s commenting on actual Democrat actions.

Tucker does a magnificent job of making the Democrats look like idiots. Actually, they do it themselves

Is he wrong though? Doesn’t seem extreme to me at all.
— Sarah (@Loki919) July 27, 2018
Extreme rhetoric? No one is buying that remark.

“Extreme rhetoric”?? Maybe if Democrats would’ve realized this is the way they come across to every day Americans they wouldn’t have lost the 2016 election. https://t.co/DihpES0auh

I guess it was better when it went unsaid even though we know it to be true.
— Treacherous Logic (@Treacherouslogc) July 27, 2018
Considering he has a higher audience number than you – @TuckerCarlson is spot on – DEMS continue to push for policies the majority of Americans don't want.
— Lawyerforlaws (@lawyer4laws) July 27, 2018
It's not extreme rhetoric if its true. Dems don't care about the American people.
— Bruh (@1800cnnsucks) July 27, 2018
Tucker is right.
— SmokingDog (@EdgeLurch956) July 27, 2018
What Tucker said is true, Tater. Go to bed.

Democrat Cory Booker said those who support Kavanaugh are complicit in evil, so yes I can imagine this. https://t.co/bcU36BJLMZ

Boy, did Republicans pounce on that remark.
Do you hear what your network and the rest of the liberal media say about Republicans and middle America? https://t.co/saaaBKLQOE
