Tucker Carlson visits Russia, attends ballet

Maybe Vlad will sing him a song.

 

How do you sleep at night?

 

Tucker on the Putin interview

 

I doubt it. And no, don’t start posting a bunch of baseless x links.

 

It doesn't sleep. It just continuously posts nonsense everywhere until it detects a response.

 

Your opinion is worthless it seems

 

Comrade Tucker. What a pathetic "American".

 

I don't really care if this dude is a bot or not, but before we condemn this whole thing, don't you think we should at least wait to see the interview? Are none of you at least interested in what Putin has to say? Will most likely be nothing but a bunch of lies and distortions from him, but doesn't that make us better informed if we at least hear what he has to say before we make judgment on what Tucker is doing? Judgement on Putin has already passed and not sure he can create any justifications, but I would like to hear him, so it solidifies my thoughts on just how evil he is.

 

Hypothetically, if Tucker were to press Putin with difficult questions addressing uncomfortable subjects, that'd certainly be new and interesting. That's not what I expect though, and I'm not sure what I'm going to learn otherwise, as I've already read and heard Putin's talking points over the years.

 

Maybe his sympathizers stateside will get some new talking points. over/under on about three days for those talking points to show up here.

 

Oh, I'd definitely take the under on that!

 

I don't really disagree, but I am also open to see if Tucker can press to a point to enlighten us with anything other than the try and true talking points of Putin. If that's all we end up with than nothing gained. but also, nothing lost!

 

You mean other than free positive publicity/propaganda in the US?

 

I think the fact it's Tucker should make most dubious. If it was a sit down with someone who isn't a clear hyper partisan I think your point stands. Maybe I'll be surprised.

 

I would ask who in journalism today is not partisan? The days of the down the middle journalist are over, I can't think of anyone who doesn't have a bend one way or the other.

 

Maybe Pootie or one of his minions can skype into the gop convention this summer. The MTG types would love that.

 

I watch, listen to, and read people with whom I disagree on a daily basis. However, I don't trust Tucker and not inclined to give him attention and clicks if it's just going to be propaganda. We learned from emails and texts that Tucker is willing to give his audience what they want even if his own analysis is far different (we now know based on texts and emails what Tucker privately thought of Sidney Powell's conspiracy theories). That isn't someone trying to get at the truth. Moreover, Tucker has previously stated that he is pulling for Russia. I'm expecting propaganda, but if the headlines and summaries reflect tough or even remotely fair questioning, I'm willing to watch.

 

I mean all journalists have at least some lean, sure. But why do you think Putin granted this interview to Tucker in particular over any other journalist?

 

It's not like pootie pie is going to sit down with a Rachel Maddow?
