You appear to be basing that characterization of Tucker Carlson solely on your antipathy towards Russians.
Tucker is simply “Tucker”. He does not ask that anyone blindly follows his thoughts on any subject. He often presents an alternative view to what we get in 95% of the MSM and asks that people make up their own minds.
He does provide his opinion but it means nothing more than mine or yours - he allows people to see an alternative view and make up their own mind.
I usually agree with him but he is one of the most important media voices we have right now. In some respects he is the “Rand Paul” of media.
