What’s America’s view on this Tucker Carlson?
You must log in or register to comment.
This line of critique is wrongheaded and empowers Tucker. Putin already commands a platform far above Tucker’s, a media figure cannot provide a bigger platform for Putin than the one he already has. Many liberal journalists have interviewed Putin without facing this critique, it’s applied here because Tucker is a reactionary shithead.
The better critique is that you have for-profit entertainment companies capitalizing on this, and how that affects the content.
What liberal media journalists have managed to interview Putin since he began his invasion of Ukraine in 2022? I thought Carlson was the first Western person to manage that.
I’d argue Carlson also didn’t manage to interview him, apparently Putin just rambled along without answering any questions.
He did his best to show what an idiot Tucker was though, which is fun:
At another juncture, Carlson asked Putin if he saw God’s design in world political affairs. With a bored look that seemed to imply he was talking to someone with a below average IQ, Putin merely said “no” before explaining that international laws governed world events, not a deity.

(Sorry for all the Twitter embeds in that link.)
I can’t get over the complete lack of a chin.
Which one?
I was expecting the interview to be over tea on the balcony.
The part where he claims to have asked Bill Clinton if Russia could join NATO was hilarious, whether he ever asked Clinton or not. Other than that most of the interview was “We’re just reclaiming Russian land from over a century ago” and “China is the real enemy”.
The headline is exactly what I thought the interview was really about. Two men, locking horns to see who is the most Dominant. Putin won it seems, but does it really matter at the dawn of the AI age. No. It is does not anymore than two big horn sheep doing the same thing right now somewhere on the planet. Well…maybe it matters to the chosen sexual partners who also wrapped up in the game as old as time. It is cute if not for the fact that too lang follow these dated monsters.
I shouldn’t have read this full comment during work. Now my coworkers are going to smell stupid all over me because of how contagiously idiotic that was.
I’d say that an AI must have wrote this, but even LLMs are more eloquent and coherent.
Cucker Tarlson bringing us the “real” story. Putin is worried about slanted journalists not agreeing with his narrative, gets the biggest softball pitcher ever and can’t even talk around his ego. Mad cringe.
“Putin, what is your idea of a perfect Sunday?”
The only way I’d watch Tucker Carlson on purpose is in a cage fight with Mike Tyson. Pay-per-view is fine, but I’ll travel if I have to.
“Mike, we need you to take the tongue this time”
Unlikely to happen considering Mike Tyson’s relationship with Alex Jones.
Alex is an unhinged junkie grifter, but Tucker is an evil arrogant pseudochristian grifter propagandist with a much larger fan base.
What about Holyfield tho? 😈
I fucking hate making fun of that horrible incident, I can’t imagine it’s easy for him to constantly be reminded about his ear being bitten on live tv.
That being said, AJ’s sheer shock when Tyson handed him a mushroom gummy and Alex thought it was an ear and initially didn’t know how to react was pretty fucking funny.
But fuck all these grifters.
My view as an American is that Tucker Carlson is a traitor, white supremacist, and known propagandist, fuck that guy, in the ass, with a cactus.
As I said when some one suggested that with Putin. Don’t do that to a cactus.
Useful Idiot.
Outright fascist.
Why not both?
My take is that Poland and Latvia need to secure their borders. Soon
It’ll either be trying to establish a land bridge to Kaliningrad (Poland and Lithuania), or invading Estonia next.
Lithuania and Estonia can suck it.
Restore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and let Estonia into the Nordics by also making the Finnish-Estonian Conmonwealth
That commonwealth is called the EU today and, along with NATO, is the reason why these countries are in a comparitively safer position. It would be much riskier for Russia to invade there.
Eesti can into Nordics!
Poland is a NATO member so I don’t think Russia is going to try anything there, at least officially. They might trigger some proxy war or internal political strife and claim to step in on a peace keeping mission though.
Latvia just brought back mandatory military services for men 18 to 27. So I think they got the message
Tucker is our most famous right-winger. That’s basically it. He can say whatever the hell he wants, due to our first amendment, which protects both freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This includes a freedom to willfully lie, unfortunately, unless one has been placed under oath.
He has just posted a video of him receiving gifts from the enemy, and he is giving aid to the enemy. This is not speech, this is an attack on America’s interests.
It’s one thing to campaign in the US and say “I like it when Putin genocides Ukrainians”, but it’s another thing to be paid by a country that we’re indirectly at war with, and provide publishing and broadcasting services to their president, a man who is on the US Sanction list. The illegal thing here is not the speech, it’s the business transaction.
Subpoena Tucker’s emails and phone and prosecute for illegal business transactions.
But it shouldn’t allow him to call what he does “news” or “journalism”. Him, and others like him, should have bumpers before and after every segment that says “the views expressed are purely the opinion of the host and do not necessarily reflect reality or facts” and not at the breakneck speed they used to do those car dealer and drug commercial disclaimers.
That actually existed until Reagan repealed it. That paved the way for Rush Limbaugh and the rest snowballed.
Only covered public airwaves, not private CATV networks.
Would fix AM Radio, but not FOX.
Let’s amend the whole damn system.
Most sane people hate him. That’s why we will lose the election to Trump.
You know when you’re at a park, see a dog, feel something squish under your foot, and then pick up your fooh to look at it? Yeah, exactly like that but in human form
You know when you’re wearing socks and you step in something wet, and sticky?
That
