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.
That’s some crazy waving away of someone’s crimes to justify liking them. I mean Noam Chomsky was great for me too until I found out about him and Epstein. Now I don’t really care what he says.
Or Polanski, great movies? I’ll never know cause I refuse to watch anything he puts out.
Waving away people’s awfulness cause they made art is how you end up with people like Victor Salva, a guy who was convicted of repeatedly raping his 12 year old child star, and after he gets out, he’s given more directing jobs and people praising his movies.
Polanski made some very good films with lots of people who did amazing performances. Your argument is weak and doesn’t deal with all the other people involved. Polanski should have gone to jail and I am not going to defend him personally but he didn’t make porn with children so his professional endeavors can be judged for themselves. He is a coward and disgusting but he also is a pretty good example of men of his generation.
