And what do you hope to learn?

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.

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.

Clever distraction. “Firehose of propaganda” technique.

It's called context, and it's important when you're evaluating the validity of an assertion. If you're saying that people who don't want the US involved in the Ukraine/Russia conflict are pro-Russia and everything Russia stands for, then it stands to reason that the same is true for the left and the Palestine/Israel conflict.

It’s whataboutism.

Let’s stick to Tucker interviewing a KGB dictator who hates gays, pushes his political opponents out of windows or sends them to Gulags in Siberia, and is invading neighboring countries in an effort to grow territory lost and become an empire again.

And let’s talk about how conservatives are okay with listening to this propaganda session because of their confirmation bias. You hate liberal culture so much you’re willing to align with an authoritarian regime.

So, you have an opinion now?

Charlie Rose:


Megyn Kelly:


Barbara Walters:


Oliver Stone:

Tucker isn't a journalist

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/

Ohh. I do!! I also have facts. For example, Charlie Rose interviewed Putin in 2015 and Barbara Walters interview was in 2011. Those are facts. Oliver Stone isn’t any more of a journalist than TC. He’s a conspiracy theorist (that’s an opinion and a fact, plus his interview of Putin was 2017– fact) And, like TC, Meghan Kelley (interviewed Putin 2018) represents herself to be a TV personality, not as a journalist. But even if she were an actual journalist, EU sanctions don’t kick in for interviews of Putin before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Charlie Rose, Barbara Walters, Oliver Stone, Meghan Kelly? All before 2022. You can’t let ex post facto do your work for you.

Oh— and the EU sanctioning TC? That’s a conspiracy theory/lie, with no basis in the truth. Bend over, because TC, Trump and Putin tore MAGA a new one. MAGA sure falls for stupid cr$p.

Republicans will not acknowledge that their party is the treason party and it’s not like the rest of us normal voters can do much about it. It’s the truth that the right wing is compromised in multiple ways at multiple levels. That’s the truth. The GOP voters do not want to hear it and the media never talks about it.

This.
It’s shocking actually. But the lack of media attention is even more disappointing. It’s our country and national security has become a quaint notion.

Can you imagine the snitstorm if it turned out that Rachel Maddow was on Russia’s payroll? People would discuss it, the front pages of all the news papers would carry it, it would be an atomic bomb sized story.

But this didn’t make a ripple! No one cared! The media dropped this news like it’s immaterial that so many Americans get their viewpoints from someone in the employ of Russia.

For one party. If the Democrats attempted half the crap the GOP has done, they’d be toasted, roasted and BUTTEREMAILS above the fold for months. It is a sick double standard.

(not shocked)

Just a woman being arrested for laying flowers for Navalny. Does Tucker have any comments?

Moscow is really nice - if you have been there is it truly the reverse of “paris syndrome”

But it is nice because it drains so much capital (human, financial, etc) from a continental sized country

as much as Americans complain about big cities sucking up all capital and young peeps and talent from flyover country, it is nothing like the scale of Moscow vs rest of Russia

I agree with this. I lived in Moscow for a while decades ago and I do think it is a beautiful city and the metro is amazing. I think one thing Tucker liked about it is that you don’t see homeless people or drug addicts — that’s what he means by clean. But that’s a direct result of a totalitarian government. Tucker is willing to trade freedoms for not having to look at poor people. It reminds me of when Trump was praising the Dubai airport during one of thd campaigns and criticizing U.S. airports. I’m sure the Dubai airport is nice. But it’s the direct result of a political and economic system that I find pretty abhorrent. There’s a lot of things that can be accomplished if you’re willing to have a very economically stratified country with few rights for the majority. These folks would have loved the court of Louis Xvi, too.

The other thing that is eye-rolling is that things like a clean and well-run metro cost a LOT of taxpayer dollars. That's fine with me and I am prepared to pay taxes for such amenities even if I rarely use them. Infrastructure is important as is public transportation - spending money on such things helps the economy overall. But conservatives are always complaining about not wanting to pay more in taxes even if it's for things that benefit all of society. How does Tucker imagine our public transport systems can improve without more public funding?

Magic beans. For all that Republicans like to crow about being so fact based (if they ignore 98% of them) and financially literate (despite them repeatedly setting the economy on fire), they talk like magic beans will save us.

Republicans hate infrastructure like mass transit. I’m not sure why “I’m just an entertainer, nobody would ever take me seriously” Tucker is out there bragging on Metro. Furthermore, Republicans hate the arts (unless it’s Thomas Kincaid and/or the kind to make a mint on later) and especially any kind of public investment in or celebration of the arts. Tucker is a very small little traitor.

Do any of you think that people in Russia are truly scared to go to jail in Russia. Maybe this is why they have a low crime rate??
