Tucker Carlson has confirmed he is in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin - and he's doing it because 'Americans are not informed' about the war in Ukraine.

The former Fox News host announced on X on Tuesday that he would be publishing an interview with the Russian despot, following widespread speculation after he was pictured leaving the Kremlin in Moscow on Monday.

Carlson, 54, said the interview would air 'unedited' on his website, without a paywall, and on X, making him the first American to interview Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

'Two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed,' the conservative commentator said of the conflict in Ukraine. 'They have no real idea what's happening in this region. But they should know, they're paying for much of it in ways they might not fully perceive.'

To be an influencer, not an objective reporter.

Any word said or printed by any reporter can be construed as the individual being an "influencer".........

Nice try hater......Sheesh!

Real Communists don’t care much for “woke” culture and believe in law and order. Idiot leftists don’t understand that they will be killed off first if they take power.

Puddin’ is being Passive/Aggressive. He despises Tucker for breaking thru the Matrix but publicly straddles the fence

[Allegra]

They’ll give all kinds of goofy reasons, but this is the reason zeepers hate Tucker Carlson.

Indeed.

Propaganda in the tradition of Woodrow Wilson and World War I the Germans tossing babies into bayonets and all that should be on the scrapheap of history but no Putin has to be the new Kaiser or worse in people’s minds.

“Yes, I like Mencken. I’m on the fence about calling him a journalist, because he published everything as soon as he wrote it.”

As he progressed in his career he wrote editorials and opinion pieces for the Baltimore Sun, for one thing. That’s journalism, not reporting.

Good luck with your eyes.

I’m usually objective on everything, kid. Unlike you.

I suppose it's because I'm old, and was educated by reading rather than by watching screens

Interesting. I pictured you as a 25 year old public school educated metrosexual.

or journalists and government government figures frequently falling out of windows,

Never heard of Arkancide huh? Or maybe you could explain the hundreds of strange circumstance deaths after Kennedy was dispatched?

Sadly, Tucker is all about Tucker.

The above comments are a paid political announcement.

You guys should always include a disclaimer.

You can’t handle information. Maybe just curl up in a corner and leave truth-handling to the rest of us.
