A spokesperson for the Russian government clarified that it has rejected requests to interview Vladimir Putin from reputable media outlets
The Kremlin’s first public response to Tucker Carlson’s announcement that he’s landed an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin was to fact-check the former Fox News host.
On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Carlson had indeed interviewed Putin, but took issue with Carlson’s claim that “not a single Western journalist has bothered” to interview Russia’s president throughout the nation’s war with Ukraine, which has raged for more than two years.
Not many, but way more than otherwise would have. And the rest will read about it somewhere else, spreading Putin’s propaganda independently of the stupidity of the platform.
Or maybe it’ll just expose Tucker as the complete hack that he is once and for all. But I kind of doubt those who haven’t seen it already can ever be convinced.
