Tucker in Russia

[Anonymous]

Anyone seen the clip today where he talks about “why” he went over there and how it’s “his amendment amendment right as a journalist”? He’s actually defined as an entertainer.

He is basically a mouthpiece for Russia. He isn’t looking to “tell the truth”. American conservatives will eat it up. The interview will increase the polarization in our country. The sad part is I realize half the country is extremely conservative and probably look to Russia as a source of hope. It’s a place where gays are vilified because it’s a place of “traditional values”. Where a strongman calls the shots. It’s a Christian nationalists dream.

This whole interview is traitorous and bullsht. All it will do is further erode support for additional assistance to Ukraine and show our WW2 allies we have issues.

Can we trade him for Evan Gershkovich?

Seems like he's in that desperate-for-attention phase. If you can make a sh*t ton of money pandering to the right on Fox News, I suppose you can still make pretty decent money catering to the subset enamored with strongmen.

I'm interested to watch the interview.

That dude is the definition of shameless. He recently interviewed this "scientist" who was claiming that fossil fuels don't come from fossils and that *proves* climate change is a hoax. I mean, the worse, most idiotic misinformation. And then there's his "reporting" on January 6th, which basically argued its was really a peaceful walk around the capitol. Anywho, Tucker is to journalism as Kenneth Copeland is to spirituality.

I make an effort to listen to all different viewpoints, especially interviews with leaders of countries who have nukes who we are in a proxy war against. It beats being spoonfed a one-sided media diet.

It's not the job of journalists to build support for additional assistance to anyone. Or to show allies anything. That's what propaganda is for, and it's the best illustration to Carlson's message that you would imply that this should be his job.

It's also not the job of journalists to help provide Russian propaganda.

Tucker Carlson has previously shown to advance a conservative agenda. Do you disagree?

Since he has done in the past that it’s not as if he’s a perfectly neutral journalist. His cause here appears to lessen support for supporting Ukraine. It’s pretty clear. Is it not clear to you or do you think he’s just a level headed pacifist type?

Putin is an Ex-KGB agent who has found a useful idiot to advance his cause. Tucker wants to get back to where he was in popularity and he’ll debase himself and his country to get there.

I’m sorry to say, based on your post, and a sheepish response to all this, it’s pretty easy to assume you probably support many of the values Putin claims to care about (Christian nationalism, anti-gay policies, “traditional values”). You’re not here because you “just want to avoid war unnecessarily” or whatever excuse you have. You probably straight up don’t like a lot of contemporary liberal values.

If you’re okay with listening to what a guy who keeps on annexing ex-Soviet countries has to say, it’s pretty clear you’re sympathetic to his reasoning.

Palestine espouses Islamic nationalism, anti gay policies, and traditional values.

And yet no one accuses the far left of the bolded.

You guys are impossible.

Just posting a reminder that Putin has imprisoned American journalists Evan Gershkovich of the Wall Street Journal and Alsu Kurmasheva of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Putin has also turned down interview offers from the MSM and has only granted one to Carlson. The very fact that Carlson is being granted an interview by Putin tells you all you need to know about Carlson's integrity as a "journalist" (he's not) and the objectivity of the upcoming interview. It's going to be anything but.





Meanwhile, former Fox News Channel personality Tucker Carlson released a video today confirming that he is in Moscow to interview Russian president Vladimir Putin. He says he plans to tell people the “truth” of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Carlson says that no U.S. journalist has tried to interview Putin since the conflict began, a comment that drew the astonishment of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, who pointed out that real journalists (unlike Carlson, whose lawyers have successfully defended him in court from slander charges by saying he should not be expected to tell the truth) have been trying to get an interview with Putin since the war began but he will only talk to propaganda outlets.

Putin has, of course, imprisoned American journalists Evan Gershkovich of the Wall Street Journal and Alsu Kurmasheva of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Carlson said Elon Musk is permitting him to post the interview on X, formerly Twitter.

Clever distraction. “Firehose of propaganda” technique.
