President Vladimir Putin granted an interview to U.S. television host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, the Kremlin said, his first to an American journalist since before Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.

The interview is likely to be aired on Thursday, Russia's TASS news agency said, citing reports by the Wall Street Journal

Russia’s TASS news agency vs MSNBC?
That’s a tough one.
That is something YOU would do.
Me? Carlson is a journalist, and is just doing what journalists do; and he gets to tell his story. Free speech, you know.
Marcus, we SHOULD have read “Mein Kampf” in the 1930s, because we would have known just what kind of monster he was and what he was planning. Forewarned is forearmed.
That’s what Tucker will tell his wife when he gets back home. “I was just interviewing her about egg prices! Honest!”
I don’t think so, LOL.
RuZZZZia! RuZZZZia! RuZZZZia! Doink-er-duh!
Would Edward R. Murrow have gone to Gremany to interview Hitler during WWII? I think he would and believe he had one of his correspondents do so.
Germany. my bad.
It’s wonderful to be in a position where the best propaganda imagineable is to torch the Zeepers like you by telling the truth.
🚨 Sensitivity warning for those unprepared for reality. Caution! 🚨
As far as I know, the CBS Berlin Correspondent, William L. Shirer, did not interview Hitler.
Please….
Tucker is an entertainer. As is pretty much everyone with a platform nowadays.
He can interview anyone as long as he’s not breaking a law, which he’s not doing here. Personally, I’d find an interview with Snowden to be more interesting.
As for Tucker doing this to “get the story out,” Cmon man. Anyone with any inkling can find oodles of public commentary from Mr KGB on how he’s the last bastion of morality (he will of course sidestep assassinating enemies, divorcing his wife, and keeping abortion legal…what a guy!), and the West is woke and it’s his God-given right to invade a sovereign nation blah blah blah.
Tucker sees a payoff. Putin sees PR. The footage will be edited by the Kremlin. Nothing new will come out. More money will be siphoned from the Treasury and diverted to Ukraine for who-knows-what.
We will have 100+ long threads of idiots calling each other Zeepers and Putinistas like it’s 3rd grade. But they’re important people …they’re part of a CAUSE, just like dopey college students changing about rivers and seas.
The end game? For 48 hours, people will take their eye off the border and Bidet. Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
It is relative, which is the least unreliable.
I don’t believe he did. But in “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” he included comments from a US army officer who interviewed Hitler sometime around 1928. Apparently that officer was still alive in 1960 when the book was written.
You go KID.
I agree with you, cannot see how listening to someone - anyone - talk can hurt anything.
I HATE that slimy little turd Zelenski, but never once thought about getting mad at his interviews.
No one is at war with Russia except the country they are invading, Ukraine.
There are lots of interviews with Putin, Barbara Walters, the 2017 4-part series of Putin interviews with Oliver Stone.
Here is the 83 minute 2021 interview by NBC.

“I don’t think so, LOL.”
So, you don’t think Carlson is a journalist? Or, you don’t think he should get to tell his story?
